Why the i500?
What do you call the pulse-pounding excitement of the most powerful snowmobiles in the world ripping down a frozen ice track at over 100 miles per hour???? At the I-500, we call it FUN!
The International 500 Snowmobile Race is not just Michigan’s most thrilling experience for riders and motorsport fans of all kinds, it’s not just the United States either, or for that matter, North America’s! It’s the most grueling and prestigious snowmobile race in the World!
Since 1969, hundreds of thousands of diehard snowmobile and winter enthusiasts have journeyed to Sault Ste. Marie, MI to enjoy the frozen, snowy spectacle of the I-500, and be a part of the Upper Peninsula’s most astonishing snowmobile action!
Here, you’ll feel your heart thump in your chest at the sights and sounds of professional drivers giving it their all. You’ll feel sweet chills and thrills of the track, as the industry’s fastest, sleekest snow machines tear around the only 1-mile high-banked oval ice track in the world!
Witness the best snowmobile riders in the world taking to the banked turns that would make NASA queasy. The I-500 Snowmobile Race guarantees to rock every sense you have: the roar of the engine, the bite of the cold, the glory of the race, the sweet smell of victory. Fans get into it. The emotion is contagious. It just can’t be stopped!
And, the best part, these race-fueled snow monsters are only part of the excitement!
