World Championship Snowmobile Derby

The World Championship Snowmobile Derby is the World championship snowmobile race. It is held at the Eagle River Derby Track along U.S. Route 45 in Eagle River, Wisconsin on the third weekend in January. Eagle River is known as the "Snowmobile Capital of the World" because it hosts the Derby.〔(Eagle River, Wisconsin ), Retrieved November 25, 2007〕 Eagle River is located in the same county as Sayner, Wisconsin, the place that Carl Eliason invented one of the first modern snowmobiles.〔(Sayner, Wisconsin ), roadsideamerica.com; Retrieved November 18, 2007〕
==History==
The first event was held in 1964. The event was founded by innkeeper John Alward, his wife Betty, and their friend Walter Goldsworthy.〔(Snowmobiles Keep Coming Though the Ice Is Melting ); New York Times; Joe Drape; January 15, 2006, Retrieved November 19, 2007〕 Alward's son Jake said "We had a couple of snowmobiles in the garage, and Dad figured more than a few other people did, too. He decided to have a rally."〔 The event was a cross country race run on and around Dollar Lake.〔 Many snowmobiles were unable to climb a small hill. The first winner was an eighth grade student named Stan Hayes, who won the marquee race in a 9 horsepower sled.〔 The Alward's held the race at their inn in 1965 before passing it on to the Eagle River Lions Club. The Lions Club trademarked the term "World Championship Snowmobile Derby".〔
The 1968 derby was broadcast on ABC's Wide World of Sports. Numerous guests attended the event, including Bart Starr, Ray Nitschke and Fuzzy Thurston from the Super Bowl II Green Bay Packers championship team. The track was reconfigured to a 0.5 mile high banked oval in 1974.
The current event features 1400+ entrants racing snocross or on the oval track in vintage and modern snowmobiles.〔(World Championship Snowmobile Derby ), travelwisconsin, Retrieved November 24, 2007〕 30,000 spectators frequently attend the event.〔
