NVSRS is a non-profit group of vintage snowmobile enthusiasts that promotes fundraising through racing for other organizations. In its eighth year, NVSRS, attracts roughly 130 riders who compete in 22 different classes of racing, mainly for sleds model year 1985 and older. NVSRS has a grass drag (non-points race), two endurance (non-points races) and six ice oval (point races) races scheduled for the 2012 season.
The organization has implemented a set of rules and guidelines for snowmobile races that are hosted by various organizations throughout our area. These organizations raise funds by collecting entry fees at their hosted event.
Current hosts for the eight race series include: the Stella Fire Department, Sugar Camp Snowmobile Club, Hodag Sno-Trails, Gerrit's Lakeview Inn, Three Lakes Trails, Bonnie's Lakeside, Jonny & Billy's Birchwood Lodge & Rustic Bar and the Rhinelander Fire Department.
The series will also run at Pelican Lake (Feb. 4) Spirit Lake in Three Lakes (Feb. 18), Boom Lake in Rhinelander (March 3) and again at Sugar Camp (March 10). In addition, the series will hold two non-points paying endurance races on the Moen Lake chain (Feb. 11) and on Spirit Lake (March 17).
