Great memories, I was there in March 1973. To clarify, this is the World Cup which was held on the last snow based track with high banked corners at the downtown Peterborough Ontario Morrow Park Fairground site. As can be seen, it was a very mild weekend with ponding in the corners from the melted snow banks. The Kawartha Cup was traditionally held in early January as it was in 1973. Bud Lee and Jack Cook who are shown early in the video challenging the Villeneuve brothers drove for the Kohler Canada snowmobile engine plant in Mississauga Ontario on their Kohler powered Speedway sleds. The Following year, Bud and Jack along with Gary Mahood would race the Kohler Sno Pro sleds in the inaugural 1973/74 Sno Pro Season. The Villeneuve brothers pretty well put Alouette in the forefront in the 1973 Season. After a slow start to the season as mentioned in this video by Gilles, they went to Beausejour Manitoba in February for the CPTC event where Gilles dominated the event winning every class he entered except the Mod 440 class were he was beaten by Gene Bloom on his Factory Rupp from Ohio. This is another great CTV Wide World of Sports video with Fergie Oliver interviews which capture the best racers of this era at Peterborough Ontario which was arguably the best attended race in North America.

I saw him race at or near hemmingford quebec in 72? 73?

In the first race you see that's my uncle Bud winning it Villinuve in second and my dad in third . I went on to win the Junior (under 16 ) Kawartha Cup that Day and Villinuve won the men's division . Had a lot of fun that weekend .

Where was this race, it’s a 1974 snopro race, the allouette twin track, snopro cats and Polaris and a quick shot of the 440 Yamaha plus some mercs, the 2 thunderjets, one is Jim adema on the 930 with the hood on his snowmobile suit,it also showed how good the twin track was if only it would stay running, classic footage, just awesome.

That's awesome footage.

A young Gilles. Who knew then that four wheels would be in his future. From Allouette to Ferrari. A legend!

Wicked

Awesome rare footage. I was probably there.

I remember those races...

Great footage! Thanks

of course my uncle norm gets in the top crashes 😭😭

Good Kid, Him and his sister are amazing additions to the class and sport

What about Stephan carignan

I don’t know John personally. But I think about him anytime I see a snowmobile or watch a race. I’m praying for him to continue healing. If you see this John stay strong don’t lose faith. You’re an inspiration . We all love you man! Also it’s definitely a Reese’s!!

Very interesting and very enjoyable. Thanks for doing this

These guys rock.

Hi, Nice video, and they usually are, having said that something to put in suggestion box, it would be helpful to maybe give a little information a minute or so before race starts or o some of the dead time during race. Just give a brief explanation of what the classes are , engine size , estimated HP, and maybe say what each driver is riding, Skidoo, Polaris, etc. Thanks and keep it up.

From the infield, you can feel it.💥💥💥💥💥

Pretty cool hype video. Racing venue looks great.

'promosm' 👊

Best sled I ever ride so far ! It was a Polaris 800 in the back country Northern British Columbia, Canada I will never forget the FEELING SKIMMING down the powder !!!!! :-)

Great riders.

Awesome race and a great facility

Thank you great racing 😊

Couple of guys I can honestly say are like family… lot of love for Matt and Tyson

Awesome!

Gilles Villeneuve would be proud

The one I notice it’s the fastest sled that usually wins not necessarily the best rider…

What an awesome track..look at all that room to make passes and open up that throttle….👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Would be great to see the results at the end to include Provinces, States and Countries.

Great event. Reminds me a lot of Eagle River.

Any Sunday Day 2 spectators at turn 3/4 have video of Relic Mod race 20? Please let me know? Thanks.

Good times

Great coverage!!

❤Loved it… Thank you

The announcer sounds like he needs to use the bathroom

2:38:30 Race 25 Leigh Baxter! 👍

Relic Mod Race#31 at 3:32:05: Yes, we were confused and should have read the program to see we had a 5-lap race instead of the normal 3-lap. Lots of lead changes made for a surprise ending, which is good for the class; we all had fun! Kudos to CPTC for giving us a clean track for our relics. Cdem72 #69
