A warm Saturday greeted drivers and viewers attending the 15th Annual Vintage Snowmobile Race held at Saltcoats Regional Park. The day began with a pair of youth races, then got down to business as some 20 pre-1974, one cylinder sleds taking on the 50-lap (100-mile) race.  First place was Greg Kerr from Carnduff riding a 1973 Yamaha. Darin Tangedal from Saltcoats came in second, while Scott Griffith from Atwater was third. The event is sponsored by the Saltcoats Volunteer Fire Department with proceeds to go towards firefighting equipment and personal protective gear.
