Doug Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Here is some of the speed run sleds from the early 80's. The Budweiser sled actually showed up at one of our radar runs to make some test runs. At the time they were running in the mid 130's with the sled. It was powered by a Mariner V6. As of a couple years ago the sled was purchased by a collector and was going through a full restoration.

I know we are off your topic with the 1970's shit but....I saw the Sno-King race when I was a kid. Went with my dad and drunken uncle. Had the poster on my wall until my teen years.

Went with my dad and drunken uncle. Had the poster on my wall until my teen years. Not necessarily off topic topic. Little trivia here is the the first Sno-King was originally the Boss Cat 2. The Boss Cat 2 has now been fully restored to original. I sold the collector that has it and others some NOS parts for a 1990-1/2 RXL and was invited to see their collection. Mouth dropping would be an understatement of the sleds there. The one pic is my buddy inside of the Boss Cat 2 after getting instructions to start it. Also in a pic is the Sno-King with 4 V-Max motors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to go to the new place sometime. Edited April 12, 2021 by racerdave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bontz Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Man, you guys are taking me back .... awesome memories!! That Budweiser Sno-King (when Paul Groth had it) was literally less than 5 minutes from where I currently live. I still think about that sled every time we go by the shed where it was stored.
