Thornton, NH Antique Tracked Vehicle Show

[trailbuilder]

Our annual Antique Tracked Vehicle Show is planned for February 24, 2024 from 10-2 at 73 Laundromat RD, Thornton, NH. Despite the higher temperatures in NH recently, our snow is surviving, but we will truck in snow and/or make it for the show. Machines have started to arrive so it should be another great show!

I wont be making the trip this year. However for planning purposes. Is it one day, two day?
Is there still a trail ride type deal given proper snow amounts

Hope to see some forum members tomorrow! Already 35 cats on the grounds for the show with many more arriving in the morning. The team has worked hard fighting against mother nature to provide trails around the property to take your cats for a spin. We even tried our hand at Snowmaking! Trucked in over 30 loads of snow from local stashes. I'll be there with my 3, don't miss the largest east coast gathering of these antique and classics. There will be other cool sleds, Model T and A Snowmobiles, other oddities, and maybe even a Bigfoot sighting!

Very cool. Great turn out! Im attending virtually.

Very nice event and the host’s, the Johnston Brothers at Dirt Design, made the best out of the low snow condition so we could drive the snowcats around the trails.

And the results are in. Great show, 81 total machines, Broken down by category, 51 Groomer/Tracked Vehicles, 17 Model T/A snowmobiles, 13 Vintage snowmobiles. Despite Mother Natures best attempts, all loops and trails held up in the low snow conditions around the property. The people mover took 30 rides throughout the event, countless other rides provided by the owners of their own machines! Still my favorite event of the year!

If it makes you feel better, we didn't have any machines break down! One Model T did run out of gas. LOL

 

[redsqwrl]

Hate to state the obvious. But you are the leader! The dirt designs thorton event is the hands down undeniable largest over the snow gathering in the USA! As stated by others great show! Who won the trophy this year. Do tell

Replacement trophy is still in flux (and not designated for any one event). The replacement is literally in the blast cabinet as I type this.
