The Vintage show will be near the base lodge for all to see. Vintage sleds will also be taking on the hill in what is sure to be a real challenge to the top!

VINTAG

E SHOW:

The Hill Climb Challenge will be brining you some of the finest examples of restored and original vintage sleds from our past. The northeast boasts some of the best craftsmen in the world of Vintage Snowmobile restorations, come spend the day with us and view their work.

Show your old sled off:

For those interested in showing their sleds, we are planning on doing a friendly gathering with the only award going to a best of show voted on by the spectators. All are welcome regardless of what you are showing, restored or original. We just want to get together and enjoy the day have some fun on the mountain while getting a chance to look at some old iron. The display area will be up on the slope in front of the lodge with plenty of parking for trailers in the main staging area so please leave this date open on your schedule and plan on joining us on the mountain. Make sure you check out the website for a schedule of events and any updates. This is an all day event with a fun bash in the “Sled Pub” afterwards.

For anyone with a sense of adventure the club has included a Vintage class in the Hill Climb Race for those who dare (all safety rules apply). All Fan and Vintage class registrations will be by PRE-REGISTRATION ONLY. There will be no day of event registration for these race classes. These classes will be the first to run.

Vintage friends,

Well folks we’re quickly coming up to the N.H. Hillclimb Challange show once again, in the past we have some fantastic sleds and people at the show and I’m hoping all will return for another fun filled event. For those that haven’t come your missing a great day of vintage at a fantastic venue. We’re praying  for cold weather but after last year we proved this event will go off no matter what the weather but just in case keep the sunscreen handy!!

-------PLEASE NOTE----- In working to improve the event for all involved we have changed the format of for the vintage races. This year the vintage, fan cooled, and 120’s will run first starting at 8:00 AM. Because of the early start time these classes will be PREREGISTRATION ONLY. I know I know it’s early but this will help in a couple of areas first off it will give you first crack at the best snow conditions resulting in more “finishes”. The other benefit will be that in the past if you were racing the hill you had to keep your sled staged for the race and couldn’t participate in the show. This year you’ll be done early so after the race we will be escorting sleds from the race down to the show to allow you to set up in the show so you can get the praise you and your sleds deserve. We are starting the event earlier in an effort to finish earlier .

Those vintage folks bringing sleds to the show, Please get there early. Pats Peak is again requiring us to be set up by 8:00 AM Saturday. This is to insure we are not moving sleds around after the gates open. Some of us will be there overnight on Friday night so we can start early on Saturday. Come up when you want, Friday night or early Saturday morning. I would like to have an idea of who is coming and how many. If you could shoot me an e-mail that would be appreciated. Remember all levels of sleds are welcome. This is for fun to get the old iron together for the crowd. This will probably be the last time this winter.

The Weare Winter Wanderers has agreed to refund the 12.00 entrance fee(no race fees) to all the vintage sled owners in appreciation of coming to the show. The ski area is in charge of the entrance fee but the club will take care of the sled owner. Everyone on the slope will have to have a ticket (liability) on his or her person. You will need to buy a ticket and go through the regular entrance line and we will take care of the refund after we get going.

Any vintage sled you plan on challenging the hill with, will need to stay in the tech pits till it’s teched then can be moved onto the slope. The Hill Climb Race/Show at Pats Peak is a full and fun day for all. I hope you all can make it out to this race and show.

Thanks Jeff
