snowmobile speed limit

This is a good first step...however, the daytime limit needs to be set at 55 as well. I think Bev Dittmar's point is an interesting one-perhaps people aren't going 55 on the trails, only on lakes. (Don't know personally). So law needs to address recklessly fast snowmobiling, not just overall speed. Dittmar seems resigned that this law won't have much effect. I am not sure. I think there is a class of snowmobilers who are out there to race. They will look around for the place where racing is least monitored. If Vilas and Oneida counties have a more public enforcement presence, racers will go somewhere else.
