 Well, the cold winter temperatures didn't keep Snowmobile enthusiasts indoors over the weekend. Instead, it brought them outdoors to compete, which is always a good thing as there's a lot more room outdoors as well. This week's Northwoods adventure at Josh Peterson shows us how kids of all ages were competing against themselves. The rip and roar of snowmobiles could be heard all weekend throughout downtown Bemidji as the North Country Snowmobile Club hosted their annual radar run. The run has seen dramatic growth over the past five years, mainly because of the weather and the love of the sport. Snowmobiles get to come out here, run their sled, and have a lot of fun, interact with other sledders and stuff, and it's just getting me more and more. People are starting to do it. We're seeing sleds built special for it. For these folks, sleds are not just for friendly recreation, they're also for competition. For one of the competitors who has been driving for 28 years, radar runs are a chance to compete against their very best time of 147 miles per hour, which at that speed leaves the driver with an incredible feeling. It's a rush. I'll tell you, the first time I got on, it takes your stomach and puts it right up in your throat. The key is to keep it down because that's where your speed is, is to keep it down on the ice. For many, it's a family sport, spending the off season working on their sleds and rebuilding them to make them faster and more powerful. Mainly it's my dad and my husband and they do a lot of clutching and they're always looking for more speed with different setups with jets and clutching and pipes and it's kind of all of a package that has to go together. The run was also a chance to get kids hooked on the sport and to let them try out their own sleds on the track. Just racing people and pretty much having fun. While some drivers do this for bragging rights, others do this as friendly competition. But for these competitors, there is no better way to spend the winter months. The sport of competitiveness, just compete with your buddies and say, yeah, mine's faster than yours. I mean, that's what it gets down to.
