2008 NHSA Grass Drags and Water Crossing

As the air begins to cool, riders are beginning to start thinking about putting the motorcycle back in the garage in exchange for their other passion, snowmobiling. We still may have a few months before we see any snow hit New England, but that's not going to stop a bunch of adrenaline junkies from drag racing their sleds acorss Peterson's Brookvale Farm in Fremont, NH at the 2008 New Hampshire Snowmobile Association Grass Drags and Water Crossing. If seeing snowmobiles drag race at speeds over 100mph across grass doesn't interest you, head over to the circular pond and watch the snowmobiles race across the water. That's right, snowmobiles race across water. I would highly recommend that you get there while the amateur riders are practicing because you're almost guaranteed to see a sled or two make it about halfway across the pond before slowing coming to a stop. This is the best part because snowmobiles, by nature, do not float. Nothing like watching a brand new sled sink like a rock! No worries, they are later retrieved by a pontoon boat to give the rider a chance at redemption, assuming their sled has some life left in it.

Below is footage from last year's event:


Other activities include Yamaha factory demos, Toyota Prove it Testing Grounds, ATV racing, food, drinks, snowmobile swap meet, freestyle dirt bike and snowmobile show, camping and all kinds of snowmobile vendors with the latest sleds on display. Stop by The WANT ADvertiser booth to grab a copy of The WANT AD or The WANT AD Powered for great deals on used sleds, trailers, parts and accessories.
