Thank you very, very much. Things sure have changed since the early 90’s where you’d show up, pay your entry fee, they’d give you a bib and said “have fun”. I think they had 2 entry’s last year and only 1 finished. If I remember correctly, the vintage only went half the distance as everyone else. That would be good for this old out of shape dude. Gonna be interesting that’s for sure.

My sons and I are thinking of entering the vintage class at the heartland 200 in park rapids mn in a couple weeks. I have looked up requirements and there is very little I can find for the vintage class. Does anyone here know if the vintage class would require the same body armor and orange clothing panels as the other classes? If so, it sure makes it tough for the average Joe to just go enter for fun. Not looking for opinions, just knowledgeable insight.

People always want something big and exciting at Hay days. Given the situation, I wasn’t expecting anything at all. It takes time to come out with new stuff, especially since big T literally gutted the company. Relying on the legacy aspect will buy them some time with the faithful. Brads presentation was a far cry from Heidi’s a few years ago, where people were ready to start throwing things. When he thanked the customers for their passion and support, someone from the crowd said “No thank you” it was a moving experience for many, including Brad. Make no mistake, turning this thing around isn’t going to be easy, but they are killing it with marketing, and that’s a big piece of what’s been missing for several years.

Well they already have a few c130’s. So that part is taken care of. I’m sure the Israeli’s would much prefer we just do it with some B2s, but we don’t want to be directly involved, politically too hot of a potato.

They need the GBU57. 30,000lb Bunker buster. Officially, the only aircraft that can deliver it are the B52 and B2. However, its weight and dimensions will fit in a c130. If they gave them to Israel, they could potentially roll them out the back, just like the smaller Moab bombs. They’d have to be absolutely certain Iran’s AA weapons were no threat as a heavily laden c130 would be easy pickings.

Must you guys ruin every thread? Every single one…😡

This season really dragged on. Only thing that kept me watching was to see it through. Today’s episode I must say was pretty good. Still can’t get used to Harrison Ford saying the F-bomb. Wonder if they’ll make a 1953.

That jeep ad was great!

I have to agree. I had never ridden a sp500 until 2 years ago. Buddy of mine bought one for his 12yr old daughter to ride. I told him it was probably not the best sled to get her, the suspension would be to stiff and the engagement pretty high. He bought it anyway and put a different spring in the primary to lower the engagement. The next time we went for a trail ride, my son’s sled went down so I let him take mine. My buddy offered to let me ride his daughters sp500 as a joke as he hadn’t ridden it yet himself. I’m telling you, that was the most fun I’ve had on a trail ride… Ever. I don’t know what it is about that thing, but everyone wants to ride it now. These are guys that ride 800’s themselves. I’d love to buy one myself, but the whole parts things is a real concern. I haven’t ridden a catalyst yet, but wonder if it wouldn’t be similar.

Douche yes

Big healthcare and pharma will bury this. To them a customer cured is a customer lost.

I have a heavy barreled model 70 that is my favorite rifle for virtually everything. Recoil is light, and I shoot from a bipod. As a result, you don’t have to reacquire your target after you fire. While it is a bit light for deer, I have taken 3 really nice bucks with it. Absolutely devastating on prairie dogs and fox with a vmax bullet.

Northern crankshaft has a complete engine for a 92 prowler special at Haydays. $450 if I remember correctly.
