Cross-country is the purest form of snowmobile racing. In any given cross-country race there is a myriad of factors that come into play that can make or break a rider. At any given race a rider may have to face ditches, woods, roads, rivers, lakes or trails as well as Mother Nature. A sled has to be set up to so it can handle all of these elements and a rider has to be ready to navigate each section of course as fast and efficient as possible while preserving himself (or herself) and the machine. Part racer, part mechanic and highly-intelligent, the cross-country racer is the epitome of a snowmobile racer. The 2011 sledRacer.com Cross-Country Rider Rankings take all of this into account.
Before we hit the Top 10, an honorable mention: As a rookie Pro last season Cody Kallock finished seventh in Pro 600 points and had a season of solid finishes after dominating the Semi-Pro classes in 2009. Watch for Kallock to keep improving and pressure some of the veteran Pros.
