500 feet. Side-by-side. Straight uphill bragging rights.

Sled Head Racing and Central Minnesota Renovations presents the Buck Hill 500’! It’s Buck Hill’s first-ever uphill snowmobile drag race, and yes, it’s exactly as loud, fast, and ridiculous as it sounds.

On Saturday, March 28th , riders will line up at the base of the Cross Roads trail for a 500-foot, side-by-side sprint straight up the slope. No curves. No hiding. Just throttle control, traction, and nerves of steel. This is bracket-style racing with two guaranteed runs, plus a consolation bracket for round-one losses, because one rip up the hill is never enough.

IMPROVED TRAIL/ CROSSOVER/ MOUNTAIN  | 600cc, 800cc, 850+, &amp; Turbo
***Improved Trail 600cc Class SOLD OUT

This is where everyday trail sleds get their moment to shine. These classes are built around real-world machines - full body, stock height, trail exhaust required, but tuned and prepped to charge uphill as hard as possible. The racing is tight, competitive, and incredibly relatable, because these are the sleds most riders actually own. Expect close finishes, smart launches, and plenty of “that could’ve gone either way” moments.

Improved Trail Class Details:
- Trophy for 1st, 2nd, and “Consolation” bracket winner 
- Must be a TRAIL sled, stock height, full body machine, NO DRAG SLEDS 
- Improved stock type rules. TRAIL EXHAUST! No traction limitations. 
- Triples will jump 1 class up from cc (800 will run 850+) 
- Tunes allowed in Turbo. Double Elimination

MOD NATURALLY ASPIRATED &amp; MOD TURBO

This is where things start to get wild. Mod classes welcome lake racers and drag sleds with far fewer limits, meaning bigger power, more aggressive setups, and eye-opening uphill speed. These runs are loud, fast, and impossible to ignore. If you like watching sleds that look slightly unhinged (in the best way possible) this is your class.

Mod Naturally Aspirated &amp; Mod Turbo Class Details:
- Trophy for 1st, 2nd, and “Consolation” bracket winner
- Any NA engine. Any turbo combination 
- Lake racers and drag sleds. Double Elimination

KING OF THE HILL

Anything goes. One run. Winner takes all. King of the Hill is pure bragging rights with a 100% purse payback and zero forgiveness. The fastest, boldest sleds from any background line up for single-elimination glory. If there’s one class that defines the Buck Hill 500, this is it.

King of the Hill Class Details:
- Trophy for King of the Hill | 100% Purse Payback 
- Anything goes. Single Elimination. (NO OUTLAW SLEDS)
