International 500
The International 500 Snowmobile Race, commonly known in Michigan as "The I-500", takes place annually in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, which is also known as The Soo. It is known across the country, and is also known to be the largest, longest single day snowmobile race in the world.
==Origin==
The idea for the I-500 came about in 1968.〔(The Story of the I-500 )〕 Several businessmen were discussing the Indianapolis 500, and the question rose of whether or not a snowmobile could run for 500 miles. The idea became a plan for a race patterned off the Indy 500 for snowmobiles.
A section of land was acquired from the city of Sault Ste. Marie on which to build the track. The site was originally an ammunitions dump for Fort Brady during World War II. It posed a problem for the newly created I-500 Committee, because three concrete ammunitions bunkers were still on the property. The help of the National Guard was enlisted, and two of the bunkers were destroyed (the third remains to this day). In less than six months, a crew composed entirely of volunteers had completed the mile-long track.
