EDITOR’S LETTER
from the editor
Like many people, I utilize a fairly significant planner in order to keep the details of important events and future plans in order. As I look at the calendar for yet another year end, it’s fun to think back on the year and remember all that has been accomplished and start planning for the year ahead. So many exciting things going on and it is our priviledge to gather and share this information for our readers.
In this issue, we have a great line up of stories that cover almost every corner of our great state. We try to bring something for everyone from a just about everywhere to continue building passion for our state, the outdoors and of course Snowmobiling and ORVs. Here’s a few highlights: 1. Soo I-500 is back! January 31st to February 5th, can you feel the adrenalin running just thinking of being together again after an unprecendented season of cancellations. How many of us can’t wait to gather again in a huge crowd to witness the “Grand-Daddy of Snowmobile racing!” Hope to see you there. 2. This month’s Under the Helmet features Piche Racing. Owner Chris Piche and drivers Aaron Celestino and Collin Henderson are hard at work preparing for the I-500. After reading the Under the Helmet features, have you decided which team you will be cheering on this year. 3. In Rapid River on the weekend of January 28th and 29th, the Vintage & Antique Snowmobile Show will be presented by the Rapid River Relic Riders. A great event to gather again to support one of our local communities. Please also note the article on the Houghton-Hancock area. What a paradise for sledders. 4. Just 6 miles North of the I-69 and I-75 interchange, you will find Nord-Ride. A family owned dealership located along I-75 just off the Mt. Morris Road exit. NordRide offers super easy and convenient access just a couple hundred yards off of the highway. Great space for turning around trailers and tow vehicles. They have a showroom full of great outerwear for the next family trip. Stop in to meet Mike Sr and Mike Jr Monday through Saturday. 5. To wrap up – take a look at our salute to our veterans. This month, meet Bridget Baker, Marine and 2019 Miss I-500! Bridget exemplifies a balance of strength and fun, mixed with determination.
I hope each of you finds dreaming motivation and fun in our pages! We look forward to seeing everyone at the races, a local event or on the trails. Please remember to keep all our first responders in your thoughts and prayers. This month, lets include all the talented teachers, administrators and staff at our Michigan schools. They are the protectors of our future sledders and ORVists… Hats off to you!
