Great show today. Weather couldn’t have been better and tons of machines. I was so busy giving rides that I didn’t take any pictures. I hope someone will post some. Thanks to the guys from Dirt Designs, Central NH Snowmobile club and anyone else who helped pull Thai show together. They just keep getting better!

Thank you to all who make this happen. Lots of people and preparation long before the easy part of showing up with the cat. More people and cool machines every year.

Met some new forum members and caught up with some celebrities!

I will take more pics tomorrow. Spent most of the day demonstrating tucker repair in the middle of the show. Big thanks to all who helped find tools and for the cordless diamond saw that just happened to be available and saved the trip.

Great day today. Can't say enough about our Hosts, Dirt Designs, Central NH Snowmobile club, and everyone else involved. This is a growing show and gets better every year! I also spent most time running machines, and got very few photos. A BIG THANK YOU to several forum members who assisted me in bringing the BIG SECRET to the show. You know who you all are!
Amazing that a group was able to keep this quiet for almost a month! Forum member in pic for scale.

Dito everything above. Glad I was finally able to make it this year. Nice to finally shake hands with people I have conversed with for years and I only knew from the Internet name. Fantastic show, A fantastic day and absolutely fantastic set up. And I think The 1642 above was the overkill of the show. An absolute beautiful beast of a machine. It would kill West Coast powder! I will post pictures when I can turn them upright on Monday
 
Dave, Glad to finally meet you in person, seems Washington N.H. is a long ways from Thornton N.H.!!:thumbup: great turnout at the show met a lot of other members also.Don
 
Think this event might have turned out the most cats of any event?

Might have to start an official count but the East coast seems to be growing in numbers!

first, mr tie rod, (track addict) it is not a competition,

it is a great day when two snow cats get together for some fun in the snow, and what is really great, is to see more and more cats coming to these events and getting to meet up with the folks. Hope this trends continues to grow!

And YES, 26 is a huge number for any event, well done.

many thanks to each and everyone that attends such events...
 
Trail builder said with the model A ,model T crowd added to the snow cat group there were 50 machines total !!!! i know every time i turned around a different one went by !!:thumbup:I have to admit Brian has the right atttude,dont get to excited ,just fix it !He did say t was nice to break down next to a shop ,and not miles in the woods .
 
Again, it was great to finally be able to get there for this. There appears to be a lot of orange, but there was a full mix of machines on display & giving rides. Got to meet Don, Marshall, Denis (surprised I guessed the Kitten was coming, but easy to sleuth when someone in VT posts a pic of it on a trailer!! I kept quiet though!), Bruce (and the brains behind his operation, Jennifer(??)), Ed (Sledhead Ed) Brian & John. Saw Mr. Dawley take a couple of loops and then when I went over to say hello but he had left early. Best sounding cat award! Also got to meet Jeff Leich from the Ski Museum and think maybe TrailBuilder in passing.

The CNHSC crushed it. Definitely no chance of running out of food this year! Crock pots galore, drinks, desert and the donation jar needed a hydraulic pressing just to get more money in. Hopefully you guys made out great this year. Also TONS of old vintage sleds along with the Model A's, T's and the Lombard thrown in for good measure.

Machines were constantly on the move giving rides to any one that wanted one. Tucker Someday (Marshall) probably burned a tank of gas hauling people. Groomers were there from Prinoth and Pistenbully, not on display, but hooked up with drags giving rides to anyone and letting trail grooming workers from the area take the controls. Tucker Sno-Cat? Bueller? Bueller?? A no show, even though it is only a 1.5 hour direct, all highway drive. And those other cats were certainly busy all day. A missed opportunity.

Loggah starting up the Torpedo: (tried to coax him into the Kitten but he figured if he got in that's where he would have to stay).
(Stupid Apple formatting. I've pulled this down & saved it four different ways & it keeps uploading from my computer sideways)
