More than 200 race fans turned out on a cold day on Saturday, Feb. 1 to watch the 5th annual Kettle Valley Racing Association Snowmobile Drags at the Midway airport.

MLA Linda Larson stood on the straw bales to do the drop that started the first race.

Race organizer Darrin Metcalf said that five years in the race had some growing pains. The number of sleds and riders was up this year and that caused the race to run until after dark.

“As soon as you get bigger you get issues that slow you down a bit. I think we got them all figured out for next year,” said Metcalf.
