Monticello Sno-Mobile Club


The Monticello Sno-Mobile Club is celebrating its 40th year as the first incorporated snowmobile club of Wisconsin. Back in 1965, local snowmobiling pioneer Tom Kacmarcik had the vision to create an organized club that would promote interest in snow-mobile activities. Originally, the intention was to become a purely social organization. And by November of 1966, Mr. Kacmarcik had enough people showing interest in committing to the creation of a snow-mobile club. Then, on November 30th, 1966, the Monticello Sno-Mobile Club was incorporated! The club held its first annual meeting on December 18th, 1966. By the beginning of 1967, Monticello Sno-Mobile Club already had signed over 35 paid memberships. In November of 1967, Monticello Sno-Mobile Club joined the USSA and began sanctioned racing events. Along with racing events, the club planned weekend and overnight rallies/ outings at various resorts throughout the Kettle Moraine State Forest. Keep in mind, this is prior to any of the organized trail systems that we enjoy today! During the summer months, it was decided to create a Club booth at Ozaukee County Fair. The intent was to promote this new winter sport of snowmobiling and displaying the newest machines available from the local dealers. In addition, refreshments and food were sold as a club fund-raiser.With some heartfelt thanks to the late Mr. Tom Kacmarcik, we of the original Monticello Sno-Mobile Club, Inc. wish to thank everyone that has made our club the success that it is and we hope to enjoy yet another 40 years as the Monticello Sno-Mobile Club! Have a great snowmobile season and enjoy our wonderful State of Wisconsin!
