Big Crappie Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, XCR1250 said: I had a 1979 Centurion, terrible handling sled, bought it for one of my daughters who was 12 at the time, won a radar run on Big Muskego Lake with it, class was SR9, I believe it hit 91 or 92 in 1320. My Dad bought a new Centurion for himself and a TXL Indy for my Mom in 1980. I think she rode it twice and my Dad put the rest of the miles on it. That gave me the opportunity to ride the Centurion a lot. Fast as hell but yeah, the old leaf spring suspension didn't do anything well. The Centurion was a rocket but the TXL Indy would fly by when it got rough at all. Edited September 5, 2019 by Big Crappie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably 90% of sleds were leafers in 1980. But that changed very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid $450 for it in 2012. It would only run on one cyl. Turns out it had a stuck choke plunger on one cylinder. I put a NOS windshield, stop and headlight button rubbers, oil cap and a few other OEM fasteners on it. I did a seat cover and repaired a small dent in the anodized tub. It runs great now but spends 99% of it's life under a cover on the shelf. Fucking sweet! God I wanted one of those so bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God damn. 11 Vmax 4's, SRX's (all years), Viper, RX1, Apex, Exciters. I was like a kid in a candy store. Talked to him for about an hour. Great guy.
