The biggest weekend of the snowmobiling season is here…Hay Days, and if you’re making tracks to the big show, here is just a taste of the happenings taking place at the manufacturer booths. Of course, if you’re a Hay Days regular, you know the real action is in the swap, and that’s where you’ll find us…sipping suds, talking trash and scoring deals.

YAMAHA – The crew from Yamaha has a few tricks in store for this year’s big party on grass and it just might include a look at some new dirt products on Saturday. The company has been tight lipped on what if anything it might be, but the rumors continue to percolate so we’d suggest you stick close to the blue camp early in the day to learn more. In addition, Winter X Games Snow BikeCross (better known as snowbike racing to the rest of us) gold and silver medal winners Cody Matechuk and Brock Hoyer will be in attendance. They scorched the snow with Yamaha’s naturally. Last, but certainly not least, if you think you’re quick and enough there’s the interactive SRX Drag Race challenge. This is your chance to back up the smack talk in front of tens of thousands. You got what it takes?
