Vintage Snowmobile Racing Returns to Newcomb on Lake Harris in 2026
Vintage snowmobiles.
Northern New York’s winter calendar fires back up on Saturday, February 14, 2026, when Northern New York Vintage Snowmobile Racing brings the roar of classic sleds to Newcomb.
Set against the frozen expanse of Lake Harris, this high-energy, family-friendly event celebrates Adirondack winter heritage, community spirit, and the machines that once ruled snowy trails.
A classic Adirondack winter tradition.
Vintage snowmobile racing taps into a deep Adirondack tradition. Long before modern sleds dominated groomed trails, these machines powered winter travel, work, and recreation across the Park.
This event honors that history by bringing lovingly restored vintage snowmobiles back to life—loud, colorful, and unapologetically nostalgic.

Event schedule at a glance.
The day starts early and keeps rolling with action:
7:30 am – Event day begins, and racers arrive
10:00 am – Races officially start

Arriving early gives visitors time to explore the pits, chat with racers, and claim a good viewing spot before engines fire up.

The sight and sound of these machines racing across the ice creates a throwback winter spectacle that feels uniquely Adirondack.
The location also sets this event apart. Lake Harris provides a wide-open, scenic stage, surrounded by forested hills that amplify the energy and excitement of race day.
