Corey Stubbs of Sabattus flies across Sabattus Pond during the Sabattus Snow Fest radar run on Sunday. "Considering the lack of snow, we have had a decent turnout," Gary Labonte of Sabattus said. Three clubs (Sabattus Mountaineers, Wales Ridge Runners and the Litchfield Snowmobile Club) hosted the two-day event featuring 337 runs down a 1,000-foot drag strip on Saturday. Keith Wood of Sabattus clocked the fastest run at 145.5 mph. "There are a few fast sleds here," Labonte said. Money raised will help with trail grooming expenses and equipment repairs, Mountaineers President Bob Boulette said. "This event is our biggest fundraiser."
Bob Boulette of Sabattus writes down the speed of Gary Labonte and adds a frown on a white board during the Sabattus Snow Fest radar run on Sunday. Don Fournier uses a radar gun to record the speed, and Boulette writes the information down to show the snowmobilers as they pass the finish line truck on their way back up the drag strip for another go. Boulette is the president of the Sabattus Mountaineers snowmobile club and added the frown to tease Labonte, a club member.
