A pair of drivers turn a corner during a race around an oval in a heat during the 33rd Annual World Championship Snowmobile Watercross on July 17, 2009 on Memory Lake in Grantsburg, Wis. The Grantsburg Lions Club held its first Watercross competition in July 1977 when running snowmobiles over water was a new and challenging past-time. The first race was simply held to see who could make it from the island on Memory Lake in Grantsburg to the shore, some 300 ft. away. Most didn't, but the winner did go about 500 ft. Today they race both drags and ovals with a six-lap championship run. Mark Hoffman/Milwaukee Journal Sentinel/Rapport Syndication/Newscom/File
