2019 Eastern Snowmobile Racing Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
At 7 a.m. on Saturday, May 20, 2017,78-year-old Paul Crane drove down to hissnowmobile museum, unlocked the frontdoor, grabbed his “open” flag, walkedback up the long driveway to Main Streetand hung it under his sign.
But this wasn’t just an ordinary day forCrane’s Snowmobile Museum. For on thisday, Paul would begin a new chapter in hislifelong service to the snowmobile andsnowmobile racing, by inducting into thenewly formed Eastern SnowmobileRacing Hall of Fame our top, first-genera-tion snowmobile racers from the GoldenEra, the ones who started it all over 50years ago. The ones who began racing onseven-horsepowered machines almost 60years ago and ended 20 years later drivingworld class 100-plus-horsepowered iceracers at speeds of over 100 miles perhour!
Yes, folks, these once young men andwomen believed that no one rememberedthem, or remembered that exciting time inour history. They believed too much time
had passed since a time when the sportwas brand-new and the excitement was ata fever pitch! All that was left from thisperiod were faded black and white photos,faded film and faded memories.
Fifty people showed up to watch usinduct the first four racing pioneers. Ittook all of 30 minutes to cover over 50years of a sport that was once so impor-tant, even our governors came to theGrand Prix on Sunday. A State of NewHampshire declaration was issued eachyear, designating Grand Prix Week!
In 2018 our crowd size doubled as weinducted five racing pioneers; but sadly,we also had a moment of silence for one ofour original four, Mr. Conrad Rollins, whohad passed away six months earlier. Oh,how I wished we’d thought of doing thisyears ago. It’s another race now—againsttime.
It doesn’t seem possible that it’s beenthree years since Paul Crane opened hissnowmobile museum to begin celebratingthe names of our top eastern snowmobileracers. This spring he’ll be doing it againon Saturday, May 11 starting at 1:30 p.m.
Those who will be inducted as new mem-bers of this exclusive club are the late BobFortin, Ron Hall, Claude Hebert, J.R.Tozier and Herb Yancey.
For those who remember this time in ourhistory, I don’t have to tell you how excit-ing it was. There were at least a dozen big-name snowmobile manufacturers dump-ing thousands and thousands of dollarsinto racing. Drive belt companies, sparkplug companies and track stud companieswere also spending thousands throughcontingency programs, paying drivershundreds of dollars a weekend if they wonwhile using their products.
Big snowmobile distributors, such asLancaster’s own Timberland Machines,employed a full-time race department 12months a year. Their race calendars werefull in the summer months with grassdragging events and, of course, everyweekend during the winter, from earlyDecember until early April!
During the heyday of eastern snowmo-bile racing, from the mid-1960s to theearly 1980s, there was nothing, and I meannothing, that was as exciting, or ever madeas big an impact on our local wintertimeeconomy, as did snowmobile racing at itspeak!
Lancaster led the early charge, with theoldest organized snowmobile race in thecountry, the Lancaster Grand Prix. Thisnormally sleepy little northern NewHampshire town during winters doubledin size on the first weekend in February.Every motel was full within a 50-mileradius. Yes, Lancaster was a big red pin onall of the where-to-race maps, as most ofthe top factory teams came here to com-pete from as far away as Minnesota. TheKilkenny Cup reads like the SnowmobileHall of Fame in St. Germain, Wisc.
There are many other names on this
famous trophy, those of eastern driverswho never made it into the halls of St.Germain. This is why Paul Crane and Ibelieve that we needed to have our ownHall of Fame. The eastern racers drovejust as hard, won as many events and theirnames were, for us New England fans, justas big and important as those from theMidwest. It’s true that world-class snow-mobile racing ended 40 years ago, and youmay have caught a slight glimpse of howit was, when the Snow Drifters broughtback the Grand Prix in 2014, 2015 and2017.
But the 200 sleds entered for the lastGrand Prix was nearly one-third smallerthan it was in 1972. Out of this, there weremaybe 50 eastern drivers who consistentlystood on the winner’s platform, week afterweek, year after year, and these are theones who will grace the walls of Crane’sSnowmobile Museum. This is a big part ofour history, folks, and we almost lost it.
By the way, 2019 also marks the 60thanniversary of Paul Crane making historyby becoming the first American to ride aBombardier Ski-doo!
