SAE Snowmobile Challenge for 2013 The Snowmobile Challenge for 2013 will be held March 4-9, 2013 at the Keweenaw Research Center at Michigan Technological University in Houghton, MI. This year 21 teams have registered for the event – the most ever in the history of the event! The members of the International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association (Arctic Cat, BRP, Polaris and Yamaha) are proud gold level sponsors of the event. Staff from all of the manufacturers will be involved in the event and many serve as judges and reviewers of the many activities. The SAE Challenge includes such activities as: 1. an endurance run from Houghton, MI to Copper Harbor 2. technical presentations regarding emissions and design presentations 3. a subjective handling event 4. an acceleration test 5. scientific testing for emissions levels and sound Further information on the Snowmobile Challenge can be found at www.mtukrc.org.
FOR MEMBERS ONLY The Ohio State Snowmobile Association is once again offering two special programs for members only. It was a decision made by the board in a way of giving back to its members. The application process is easy. The first is the “Charity Match”. Snowmobilers and clubs are traditionally a very giving group. OSSA will match a donation that a club has made to a charity, up to $100.00. There is a limit of 5 matches or $500.00 to be given to select charities. OSSA will now accept a letter of request from a club, along with a receipt from the charity (or a cancelled check will also be accepted). OSSA will collect the requests and award the charities at the Spring Meeting. If more than 5 requests are received, a random drawing will select 5 winners. All requests must be postmarked by March 15, 2013. Please include contact information for your club in case there are questions. The second program that is continuing this year is the scholarship program. The $500.00 scholarship is open to any high school senior, who will be entering college in the fall, or any current college student. The applicant must be a current OSSA member or whose parents (or legal guardian) are current members. If the applicant is over the age of 21, he or she must have their own membership. Current member means that the annual membership fee has been paid by March 1, 2013. The application is available on-line thru the website : www. snowmobileohio.com. All applications must be postmarked by March 1, 2013. Last year’s applications were very impressive and contained lots of good thoughts. It was a tough decision for the judges.

Hello Ohio Snowmobilers. As of this writing, we have SNOW. We are in better shape than last year. I want to take this opportunity to thank past alternate board member, Robert Kirk. Robert has recently moved and is unable to attend meetings and events, so he has resigned from his position. Mike Vystrcil has been appointed to the OSSA Board as an alternate to fill the position. Mike brings with him a wealth of snowmobiling information and a great sense of enthusiasm. Mike and his family are members of the Parkman Polar Bears Snowmobile Club. A great quality that Mike is bringing to the board is a renewal effort to bring the youth into organized snowmobiling. We know as each year passes and we get older, we need the younger generation to step up and take the reins. Our sport needs the fresh thinking and ideas our younger members can bring to the table. The new year also brings another change in the ODNR parks. Mike Blakeman, who was the mastermind in getting the two bridges built at the Geneva State Park, has decided to retire. Mike was a great partner to the OSSA. He saw the need to bridge the state park with the Geneva Lodge and Conference Center and worked tirelessly in making sure that it was accomplished. The snowmobile trails in and around the park were a relatively new thing in the parks. Mike has been a great person to work with and we wish him the very best in his retirement. Be Safe.
VICE PRESIDENT n

With the holidays behind us and by the time you read this we will be smack dab in the middle of the so called snowmobile season. Trying to write these articles a month in advance is a bit tough not knowing how the weather is going to turn out, but as of right now it is looking pretty good. We got about 2-4 inches just before Christmas and another 8-10 just afterwards. The snow god is smiling on us for now let’s hope it holds out. Unfortunately though there already has been a fatality reported in Michigan the week before Christmas. What a terrible thing to have happen, someone going to fast on their brand new sled hit a tree and that’s all it took. I don’t want to get on my soap box but I will for a bit. I know we all love that rush ripping down that trail but we need to re-adjust our priorities here. We don’t want to end up being another statistic or worse yet having to eat from a straw while laying in a bed or wheel chair the rest of our life. We need to ride more defensively, we need to anticipate those icy corners, those riders coming the other way to fast and drifts into your lane on those tight corners. Michigan has started putting up fewer signs, you will not see the sharp corners signs or narrow bridge signs to name a few. They have decided that we have too much info and want us to slow down instead of racing up to the next bend which could be a lazy corner or it might be a sharp bend, you will have to attack this by riding a bit slower to see what the obstacle may be. There is also some liability in that if they didn’t mark the corner sharp enough and you blow through it then they could be held responsible too.

SAFETY DIRECTOR
Tim Doerr Hello Fellow Riders, Well I sure hope the snow comes back and it will. I hope by now you all had a chance to check your safety kits and get them re-stocked before the big snow returns. Make sure to be ready for when the snow starts falling, replace your Gatorade or orange juice, granola bars and energy bars. When you are out riding, please remember to never ride on ice or frozen water, ponds or rivers as you never know how thick the ice is. We had our last Safety Class of the season at Stateline Sno-Trackers club house on Sunday, January 13th. We had a great turnout with over 30 kids and adults. Thank you to Stateline for hosting the safety class and providing pizza and snacks for lunch. It is great to see how so many clubs in the state of Ohio want nothing more than to help their kids and the future of this sport by teaching them proper safety and etiquette to continue the sport we all enjoy so much. On another note, to you parents, please don’t assume that just because your son or daughter passed their safety course that they know everything when the truth is, you have 10+ years learning what you know. So please continue to teach them what you have learned over all your years of hard knocks in this crazy sport. Think Safety.
I sure hope that all of you reading this dial it back one or two notches and that you think twice before having that adult beverage before getting back on your sled. You all have loved ones at home that will want to see you again nor do you want to be the one that causes the accident in which you will have that to deal with too. There, it’s done, I am putting my soap box away now and I really do want to meet all of you out on the trail someday, so ride smart and ride safe, we don’t want you to become another statistic.

FX Nytros rip at USXC Beach Bar 200 By: Wade West
January 8, 2012 — Four-stroke FX Nytro RTX snowmobiles raced to a strong pair of podium finishes at the USXC Beach Bar 200 at Detroit Lakes, Minn. on Saturday, Jan. 5. Here, Fuel Med RX Yamaha’s Ben Lindbom took a close second and Jake Muller finished third in the afternoon Semi-Pro Improved final, while Re Wadena and Muller added respective 7th- and 12th-place finishes in Pro Open. Longtime Yamaha racer Ross Erdman was poised to do even better, leading the Pro Open event until a minor electrical issue took him out of the running. With 15-degree temperatures, calm winds and blue skies, the weather conditions proved ideal for snowmobile racing on ice. And the USXC lake course took full advantage of it, as the 10-mile layout featured dozens of groomed turns and straightaways up to a half-mile long – plenty of room for the Yamaha four-strokes to stretch their legs. Even veteran racer Erdman was impressed with the FX Nytro’s power. “It absolutely rips,” he said. “I can get five sled lengths on everybody out of corners, but it doesn’t hit so hard and rip your arms off like a twostroke. Instead it’s smooth and easy to ride. But the most impressive thing was seeing 110 mph on my speedometer on the back straightaway!” Morning Pro Open heat races saw Erdman, Lindbom, Muller and Wadena all qualifying for their afternoon finals. The 40-mile Pro Open event then started three riders per row, with Erdman jumping into the lead immediately
over rival Brian Dick and Yamaha teammate Wadena. With a time-trial format rather than heads-up racing determining the winner, racers needed to charge hard right from the start – and by taking the early lead in his flight Erdman was well poised to compete for the win. But after he and Lindbom were both sidelined by minor electrical glitches, it was Wadena and Muller who swept in to claim the their 7th- and 12th-place finishes for Yamaha. The afternoon Semi Pro Improved finale put the four top qualifiers – including Yamaha’s Lindbom and Muller – in the first flight. Rival John Arneson jumped off the line with the early lead, closely followed by Lindbom and Muller on their FX Nytros. Lindbom quickly took the advantage though, holding onto the lead until the final lap when Arneson slipped past. Lindbom hounded his rival for the remainder of the 20-mile race, and while the duo pulled steadily away from the pack, Ben had to settle for a close second, with Muller following up in third. “I’m happy with the team as they didn’t get down, worked hard and pulled together for some good results with two podium finishes,” said Yamaha’s Eric Josephsen. “That said, we also have some work to do and we’ll be ready for the next race in Willmar, Minn. on January 12.” The Fuel MedRX/Factory Yamaha Snowmobile Racing Team would like to thank our Racing Partners for their valued support and commitment to our program!

Snowmob Photos by Glenda Hake
Well for the second year in a row, OSSA and Clear Ford Ski Resort in Butler, Ohio joined forces to have a snowmobile Hill Cross Race at their resort. This year they moved us over to another hill that actually worked out to be longer than last year’s track and definitely had more turns and jumps to give spectators a lot more action to keep their eyes on. By the end of the day, there was a fair amount of pieces and parts. This year we had 76 snowmobiles and most of them ran 2 or 3 classes so it made for a lot of races throughout the day. The classes we run are broke down by age as well as snowmobile CC size. We have classes for 12-14 year olds, 15-17 year olds, 18 and over and a senior class, 55 years and over. For the 12-14 and 15-17, the classes they can race are 400cc and under, 401-500cc and 501600cc. We don’t allow the kids to race any class larger than the 601cc. For the 18 and over, they can race any of the classes the younger kids race plus they can run a 601-700cc, 701-800cc and a 801cc and larger mod class. We have an excellent tech crew with Mike & Glenda Hake. So the next Hill Cross Race is set for February 16th. Registration runs between 9:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. with the first race starting at approximately 11:00 a.m. So if racing is something you have wanted to try but never did, come on down and give it a try. We have a lot of first time racers as well as some very experienced racers. All classes cost $25.00 per class so it is not real expensive for a day of fun. Keep an eye on the OSSA website or Clear Ford Ski Resort website for additional information. Thank you to all the racers, spectators and all the O.S.S.A. volunteers who helped to make this a great event! — Tim Doerr

forest county Snowmobile club We had some really great riding here in the Allegheny National Forest (ANF) in late December/early January. We’re now having the January thaw so hopefully it will be short-lived. The summer grooming that was done on sections of the trails the last few years has really paid off. Riders commented how the trails were smoother and the grooming held up better. Our two groomers logged a lot of hours out on the trails to try to keep up with the snow and sled traffic. Safety Courses: Last Fall our Club was involved in three separate safety courses that were coordinated and led by Nelda Martin. The first one was a joint class held in Marienville, sponsored by Marienville Trail Riders and our Club. The 2nd one was held at the Flying W
s...
b
Ranch in Kellettville and the 3rd one took place in New Bethlehem, Pa. A total of 28 kids and 4 adults were certified. A special thanks to Nelda for putting these classes together. Club Website: We have a new website that was launched in late 2012. We’re still adding content but if you have a chance check it out: www. forestcountysnowmobileclub.com. You can subscribe to get notified via e-mail of updates such as local trail conditions. Trail & Snow Conditions Phone Line: Again this season, we’ll have a voice message of the latest trail conditions based on input from the groomer operators and those in the area. 814-463-9329 Poker Run (Ca$h Prizes) & Food Drive (Sat. Feb 16, 2013) Our annual groomer benefit is not far off and it will go on snow or no snow. We’ll have the Poker Run sheet with nine local businesses where you can go around and get your sheet stamped. When you return to the Flying W during the day, for a $10 donation you draw your poker hand based on the number of stamps you have; 50% payout. Winners will be announced at the end of the day. You do not need to be present to win. You can start visiting the businesses a week prior to the day of the event. We have our Groomer Raffle tickets on sale. These offer three chances to win: $250 Cash, $50 certificate to Flying W Long Horn Restaurant/Saloon or $50 Wal-Mart gift card. They are only $2 each or three for $5. There will be a Chinese Auction again this year. Any items you can donate or solicit from one of your local businesses would be appreciated. The items do not have to be snowmobile related. Contact Nelda (724-664-4951). Something new this year will be a food drive. We ask that anyone attending please bring a non-perishable canned or boxed food item. Everything collected will be donated to the Tionesta Emergency Food Pantry. If you haven’t ridden in the ANF lately make plans to come out this season, as I think you’ll be surprised at the quality of the trails. Volunteers spent hundreds of hours during the past three summers working with the excavator contractor and Forestry, trails have been widened, drainage improved, and tons of stone spread. This has helped tremendously to improve the winter grooming. Thanks to the volunteers who sacrificed their summers and the great cooperation with the Forestry and PSSA. Funds to pay for the contractor on these projects was from unspent winter grooming budgets and RAC monies we received for Warren and Forest Counties from timber sales. Hope to see you out on the trail!
parkman polar bears
Partnered with the Troy Snowmobile Club, the Parkman Polar Bears joined forces once again making a significant team to address this project. What a great and productive way for the clubs to share their passion for snowmobiling. These dedicated enthusiasts built this bridge which spans the Grand River. This needed vessel provides access above a stream with silty rocky bottom that doesn’t normally freeze in winter and the water is deep. This bridge was in the planning for two years. It involved at a minimum, the landowners providing their approval and full support so that additional seasonal recreational uses could be enjoyed by all. Zeigler Earthworks Inc. from Burton, Ohio donated time, fuel and heavy equipment. Mr. Excavator, Inc. delivered the much needed poles last year. John Alshire, Head Trial Boss, also spent many hours and walk-throughs with the land owners to be sure we had it right. We also made the clubs’ money go a long way thanks to Denny Dietrich in getting us special pricing on decking from the mill he is currently working at. Some of the other club members including husband and wife team like the Marvin’s, went to work repairing the first bridge. They removed deteriorated boards and material that would no longer support the weight of a snowmobile. Thank you so much to both clubs and members assisted in this project to ready the trails for the 2012-2013 seasons. The end results are very happy land owners. Mr. Excavator, Inc. 8616 Euclid Chardon Road, Kirtland, OH 44094-9586, (440) 256-2008 Mr. Excavator provides top-quality construction services for Utility, Environmental, Communications, Dredging, and other construction project needs.

December 15th Yellowstone opened to Snowmobiles again this Winter! Jack Welch Special Projects Consultant BlueRibbon Coalition 303-489-9477 Update on the 2012-2013 season. On December 15, 2012 the gates opened to another season of snowmobile access to Yellowstone. The Park Service has extended last year’s One-Year Rule for the 2012-2013 Winter Season. What does the extension of the “One-Year Rule” for 2012-2013 Winter Season mean? This means that 318 commercially guided Best Available Technology snowmobiles and 78 commercially guided snowcoaches will be allowed. The proposed extension will also continue to provide access for motorized travel from the East Entrance road over Sylvan Pass. The extended one-year rule allows the same level of activity as the 20112012 season. It means that our combined efforts during the two comment periods on the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement made a difference. The Park Service has now determined that many issues need to be further analyzed before a new long range Winter Use Plan can be put in place for the 2013-2014 season and beyond. This additional analysis will be conducted using the current Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) process which will include the winter season 2012-2013 in Yellowstone. In closing, I understand that the fight over Yellowstone has been a long, contentious and complicated battle. Please remember the fact that Yellowstone remains open to snowmobiles represents one of the most profound victories over the extreme environmental movement in our lifetime. Enjoy the victory and make your plans to come and enjoy Yellowstone this winter on a snowmobile! Note: As additional information on items covered in this summary are announced by the Park Service they will be posted at our dedicated website of www.saveyellowstonepark. com.

Team Arctic Results from USXC Cross-Country #1 at Pine Lake (Gonvick, Minn.)
TEAM ARCTIC CRUSHES USXC CROSS-COUNTRY OPENER Pro Class Podium Sweep and 16 Class Victories Thief River Falls, Minn. (Dec. 18, 2012) – At the first cross-country race of the 20122013 USXC season, aboard the all-new Sno Pro 600 ProCross and Sno Pro 500 race machines, Team Arctic racers delivered an overwhelminglydominant performance that rewrote the record books. When it was over, Team Green captured 16 of 20 classes via 14 individual winners at the Gerald Dyrdahl Memorial Pine Lake 200. Leading the history-making assault was twotime cross-country Pro champion Ryan Simons of the Christian Bros. Racing (CBR) team, who won both the 100-mile Pro Stock and 100-mile Pro Open finals convincingly. Joining Simons on the podium of both finals were his Team Arctic/ CBR teammates Brian Dick and newcomer Zach Herfindahl. Including the Pro classes, there were 13 podium sweeps by Team Arctic, making this one of the most successful racing weekends in modern history.
“The improvements to the 2013 Sno Pro 600 in the ProCross chassis gave us an even greater handling and speed advantage on the fast lake course,” said Kloety. “Of the 14 individual class winners aboard Arctic Cat sleds, six of them were on the new Sno Pro 600.” The next race on the USXC cross-country circuit is Jan. 5, 2013, in Detroit Lakes, Minn.

“We’ve enjoyed outstanding success in crosscountry over the years but this reset the high mark for winning,” said Mike Kloety, Team Arctic Race Manager. “It shows what’s possible when you combine the outstanding efforts of our racers and crews with the speed and handling of our Sno Pro race sleds.” Joining Simons as a two-time class winner at Pine Lake was Bryce Buchanan, who returned to his familiar place atop the Expert 85 classes aboard his Arctic Cat Sno Pro 500. Nearly nailing the big double, Erik Nymann went 1-2 in the two Sport 600 finals, while Jon Arneson raced a record number of laps en route to his first in Semi Pro Stock, third in Masters 40-plus and fourth in Expert 85.
