ckf Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I know that not everyone was at HCS from the start. He is a link to the original Hardcore Sledders page on rob's photography site. Checkout the speedometers photo page. Denny's pic from his SRX is still there, lol. From here it turned in to firecat.info briefly before it turned into HCS. https://web.archive.org/web/20020908213447/http://www.hardcoresledder.com:80/index.html 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crnr2Crnr Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 History is what binds us together I find it hilarious that there's far more tech and info sharing, and some mild shenanigans in the GDF than there is in the General Forum and most brand specific forums here, and WAS on HCS. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bontz Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Hard to believe that was 20 years ago already? Holy cow - time flies. I came over from the old amsnow.com days, and joined the firecat.info site early on ... I was member #5 when Rob morphed it to HCS. Heck, I remember Rob being "RIV" at that time. A lot of excitement and hype waiting for the Firecats to come out & having access to guys like Greg Spaulding (gls) at Cat was awesome!! Lots of people have come and gone, and it's weird considering how some folks have basically become friends without ever meeting them in person. But it's been quite the journey from then up to now!! 🍻 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRASHley ... really was in bad shape after that wreck. Tough girl though!! And the fact she got right back on the horse, after getting through her recovery, was awesome to see. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot the password and made a new account, ckf. The ck was part of my business name and f was for firecat. Rob asked me a little while later if I needed both accounts or should he delete one, lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teamgreen02 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Thanks for the trip back in time. I joined really early back when I was in high school and owned a 2002 sno pro which was the first lay down motor and first in the Firecat chassis. I remember those 03 F7s were a rocket. Cat sold alot of those sleds back in the day. Rob had really good info on the issues and recalls for people to keep them running trouble free. He put on more miles in a year than most people do in 5. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
