27th annual RIDE WITH THE CHAMPS by Modine HotDawg Garage Heaters a huge success. "Over 100 riders enjoyed the daylong ride. Two vintage groups and two late model groups. The Vintage Challenge had over 40 riders........most made it back under their own power and received their completion certificates at the banquet. Our 2010 inductees were great but Jimmie Dimmerman stole the show with his speech starting out with his first sled and his childhood stories........ending as a factory driver."

2009 RIDE WITH THE CHAMPS

26TH ANNUAL RIDE WITH THE CHAMPS by Modine HotDawg Garage Heaters was a huge success. Some one hundred riders gathered for this historic event and fund raiser for the SHOF. The Vintage Challange group had some 30 riders !

Old John Deeres, Cats and Polaris sleds attempted to make the 175 mile trip to the U P for lunch at Fish Tales on Lake Goegibic. Jon Carson and Brian Nelson of Team Enduro Deere fame, guided the die-hard vintage riders on their 30 year old iron. More photos and stories to come !

They all made it back to the evening banquet for the Induction Ceremonies......some on trailers, some in pickups and some behind tow ropes.......however most made the entire 175 trip on their old sleds. This is what great memories are made of.
