World Champion Snowmobile Racers

This photo is from Saturday. Mitch got the hole shot on his #65 Ski Doo.

This is from the award ceremony where Joel received his championship ring and jacket. He is in the middle in the back row.

Joel took 6th place in the World Championship final race. Everyone was pretty happy with that since it was his first year running the champ class and he made the top ten qualifiers for the race. Mitch took 3rd place in the pro stock 600 class, and he is the winner and world champ in the pro stock 500 class. He won a new helmet and a Coldwave jacket, and brought home two nice trophies to add to his collection. He made everyone laugh at the banquet when he wrote his sponsors on the palm of his hand, and was caught looking at it when he couldn't remember them all! It was a good effort all the way around, and it's nice to be home now. It seems warm here compared to the temps in Wisconson. Next race is in Lincoln this weekend!
