Okay - the last one - #233 - again I am not sure of the driver (too many years have gone by).

Thanks for letting me share the pictures. Hopefully some of you got something out of them. I would love to see similar pictures and any stories from others if you have them.

Excellent pics! Thanks for posting. Funny to see pic's of our own Kenny Hiens, Comandant of the Evil Hiens Clan, not to mention ETD guys too.

Thanks again,

Nice to see the old home town 6 years before I was born. You can see both water towers and the old Houle feed mill. I never knew that CC races were held in Forest Lake. Those pics you took from the field are now a housing development. Great piece of Snowmobile (and Forest Lake) history. Cool find.

Wow Scott, those are great pictures, I can assure you that if these were taken at Forrest Lake these were taken before the race as after the race 108 didn't look the same after tangling with a Polaris, LOL

Kenny

again thanks Scott for the memories

Very nice pics Scott. Glad somebody had the sense to take a few pics back then. I was to young and nobody trusted me back then with anything mechanical. I always broke stuff.
Thanks

I noticed what appeared to be snaps on the seat but, I did second guess it Kenny. Never even gave the suspension a look either.
