The 36th annual Bonnechere Cup held in Eganville Ontario has come to close. The Race is a weekend event, with final races being held on Sunday. Sunday’s race saw some great racing action and some racers wiping out. Luckily all the racers walked away from their crashes. One great race saw the lead sled loose his front left ski, he continued as long has he could but the driver of the Skidoo in 2nd position took the win. The pro final saw Jacques Villeneuve go from 2nd place to first, not long after that he ran into trouble and dropped off from the race. The driver he overtook went back into first. If you’ve never been to the Canadian Vintage Championships/Bonnechere cup, you should plan to attend the next year’s race. At the race, you will see vintage single cylinder sleds and pro sleds race around the Benson Speed Oval which is an ice track. You will also see Stock and modified Quads race the big oval.

Well it's the second week of December and as I wite, the snow is falling lightly. It looks like the temperatures are staying cooler with Wednesday being the exception. Many people are itching for snow so they can hit the slopes, the toboggan hill or fire up the sled and take it for a ride. The snow also get's one in the mood for the Christmas season. So as the snow comes down and you get ready for winter, remember to enjoy you winter sport safely and respect those around you.
