We are setting up a Vintage Sled Show during our Grass Drags this Year (Oct 23). This is our 1st time doing this. We will do a public voting for best, likely trophies for the top three vintage sleds.
We will also introduce vintage classes for racing this year. One of our members, a vintage racer, will be running this. Please check our website periodically for updates. Please feel free to PM me or e-mail me for more info. I'll put you in touch with our Honcho for the vintage stuff.
The location will be: The Shawnee Fire Hall, 3747 Lockport Road, Sanborn, NY 14132
Hope to see you there!

We determined the following:
For the vintage show, there will be no entry fee, public judging (consensus) with trophies for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.
For racing, we will have 3 classes for vintage sleds: Fan, Free Air, Liquid-we will be using the COSDRA class descriptions for vintage racing. If we don't get enough free air entries, they will be combined with one of the other vintage classes.
If you have questions, please feel free to PM or e-mail me.

We've added a band - Route 66 will be playing for 4 hours after racing is complete. We are also in the process of hiring a clown troop and contracting a bouncey house to entertain the kids. E-mail or PM me for more info.
