2007-Snowmobile Hall of Fame Inductee--Mark Maki

MARK MAKI A pioneer in the interesting summer variant of snowmobile competition known as watercross, Maki was an innovator who began his career just as this summertime sport was emerging, racing at the very first event held at Grantsburg, Wisconsin, in 1977 and becoming a major figure in the sport as the years went on. Maki developed many of the early chassis set-up and clutching techniques that enabled snowmobiles to make turns on the water and his twelve high-point championships scored between 1977 and 1999 as well as his world record 61 mile run in 1986 place him in a singular category in the history of snowmobile competition.  (from Snowmobile Hall of Fame web site)
