The weekend is filled with family friendly snowmobiling fun!
Friday evening starts with a guided snowmobile cruise around the lake which highlights many of the areas finest eating & drinking establishments, fun & historic places.
Saturday features snowmobile racing including Lemans style racing and Radar Runs. The races consist of vintage and brand new sleds. There are many classes including a class where the age of the rider and the age of the snowmobile must add up to 80 (the older you are, the newer the sled you can ride!), and also a ladies-only class. Additionally there will be a Vintage Snowmobile Show, food tent, and raffle for a vintage snowmobile. The event is a memorial to Jack Helgren, an area businessman, avid snowmobiler, former dealer/racer and promoter of the sport in the area. This is the 3rd annual event, and the inaugural year was enjoyed by all that attended.
Sunday: Vintage Ice Drags has been cancelled due to the date postponement/ice conditions. Clear Lake is first in the 5 race series which also includes Okoboji, Iowa, and Waseca, Waconia, and Spicer, Minnesota.
