Eganville's Bonnechere Cup.

The small town of Eganville has a population of about 1200, but that grows to 5,000 on race weekend. If you want a room you need to go to a nearby town, and park amongst the many touring sledders that overnight enroute to other areas.

The view from the top of the hill is great, and the local trail runs right through the grounds.

Here is a familiar name and number. The number 74 and the name Wahl are a succesful combination here at Eganville, and the Wahls have raced here for several decades.
