were way more advanced than me and doing really well with a lot more money, and I got third place.
I was completely hooked. I wanted to race for real against the professionals.
Here was the problem: My funds were extremely limited. I had no connections. I wasn’t a snowmobilemechanic, I had no business racing against people who did this for a living, and who had access to the resources the pros had. My local snowmobile dealer said, “Oh, on that small little circuit you raced at, you had a chance. But you can’t go to the bigger brackets because you’ll be going against the big boys like Team Arctic Cat, Team Yamaha, Team Ski- Doo, Team Polaris. You’re going to race against sponsored racers who get all of their stuff for free. They pretty much have unlimited money and resources at their disposal. They have the latest, the greatest, they have replacement motors, replacement clutches. They have a team of five, maybe even seven people. They show up in their beau- tiful tractor-trailers, lower the back gate and you drool over how pristine everything is.” I could feel his envy or maybe a bad experience in his words. Then he ended with, “That’s not a bracket for you. But you can have lots of fun in the bracket you raced in, with hobbyists like you, stick to that.”
