Welcome To World Championship Day

Today marks the 46th running of the Eagle River World Championship Snowmobile Derby, and by 4 p.m. today a World Champion will be crowned. That racer will have his named engraved on the inaugural Snow Goer Racing Cup, along with the names of the 45 previous winners. As the World’s no. 1 snowmobile magazine, snowgoerracing.com is THE source for snowmobile racing news and results. This weekend, the Snow Goer crew has been on the infield, throughout the pits and inside the race trailers, talking to racers, race directors, crew members and race track officials. That’s how we get the inside scoop on all the action – here, and at every race we cover through the fall and winter racing seasons. The Snow Goer Racing Tip Sheet tells you who has qualified for the final in three different classes. It combines the input of our expert crew and our fictional “odds” that you can’t get anywhere else.

This year’s World Championship is a wide-open affair, the field is strong throughout. Will Bewcyk repeat? Will Wanderscheid or Moyle add another Eagle River victory to their race résumé? We’ll find out today!
