13th Annual Swap and Drag @ Golf Farm Recap

The Golf Farm and Winter Thunder Challenge held a snowmobile swap meet and grass drag event at the Golf Farm this past Saturday. While it was marked as the 13th annual, this was their first year in organizing and overseeing the event. As usual, there were some hiccups, but all in all it was a great day and a great event!

We took up camp in the swap area and right away heard some buzz about the way it was being set up. It was not the most ideal layout for our booth, but between the neighbors, we got it figured out. The sun was shining and the temps were up, so there was no complaining about it.

Once people started flowing in, parts started selling. There were a ton of folks walking around with parts, so everyone seemed to be making some money. We met some new folks, but really caught up with the usual suspects. It was a great event and well worth attending.

If you missed this swap and drag, there are still a few more coming in the area. You have Union Grove on the 29th and Mchenry on the 30th. Mchenry will just be a swap. See ya there!

Golf Farm Swap and Drag

This weekend is the Swap and Drag at the Golf Farm on rt 12! We will be out there with the 24 foot trailer FILLED with parts from all makes and models sleds. It is going to be a blast! This is the first of our local shows, so come on out and see if we have the parts you need. We will also be selling "I Bang Ditches" shirts. As always, stickers are free, so let the world see your true colors.

We will also have the new FLY Racing bibs out there so you can see the quality and low price on them. If you are in need of some ditch banger riding gear, this is a great bang for your buck.

Milwaukee Snow Show Recap

Most of the BK team made it out the the Milwaukee Snow Show this past weekend. This year we really tried to make a presence at the show. We had the booth inside the show and we also added a HUGE swap booth outside! With 3 of us at the show, we were all over the place jumping between the booths. It was a great time!

We got to meet a lot of new friends and catch up with a ton of old ones. A lot of cards and even MORE stickers went out also. Our swap prices were reasonable and we gave a lot of guys some great deals on parts.

The ditch bangers were not ignored at this show. Hundreds of stickers got passed out, over 60 shirts were sold and a ton of people stopped to tell us that they bang ditches. BANG BANG, hitting those ditches!

We love hearing your stories and most importantly, why you need parts. There is always a fun story behind every broken part. While the weather wasn't "snowmobile weather", it was great weather for a swap. There was a huge array of vendors out there and some good deals all over.

With all the running around between booths and the long hours, we were beat. We were not the only ones tired though, this little Ditch Banger could at least sleep at the show!

We would also like to thank the Waukeeshaw County Snowmobile Association for running the swap and dealing with the fairgrounds so sledders can get great parts for less!

Tri County Trail Alliance Swap and Drag (Pecatonica, IL)

The next swap and drag is going to be out in Pecatonica, IL on October 9th. We will be bringing parts to sell this time! Sorry if we disappointed anyone at Belvidere last weekend. We will be bringing parts to the rest of the swaps so you can get some great deals!

18th Annual Belvidere Swap & Drag

The largest, and arguably the FIRST of the season, swap and drag in the area is coming up tomorrow! Round up the miscellaneous parts in the garage or trailer up that spare sled and roll out to Boone County Fairgrounds. There are always some great deals out there too. If that isn't enough for you, there is the smell of two stroke and whining sled motors that will make your day.
