| From its humble
beginnings in Dollar Lake to the multi-million dollar
facility we all enjoy today, the Derby was destined
to be the best. We are quite sure that the original
founders of the Derby never envisioned just how much
impact on the Eagle River community, and indeed the
entire snowmobile world, they were creating.
