We need to resurrect this one!

Anyone else have an vintage or even a classic sled?

Did the Tamarack stuff last year, had a blast.  

Cleaning the race shop and big trailer this weekend instead.

Might loose my marbles and search out a ramp truck.  

Last year I did the ERX event which was really fun but it'd be depressing this year with no snow.  I thought about going and put a couple sleds in the show and then check out the swap and the evening racing.  But it'll be funner to somewhat ride machines

Hopefully spent the last money the one lunger needs, short of race numbers.

Choke cable and the correct ("correct?") needle for the crab...

That's not out of line for an original seat like that. That's a 69 seat but would work on a 70. He shouldn't have 68 in the ad though.

It’s always interesting to see one of your old sleds come back up for sale some 20+ years after you sold it… “Custom” because we transplanted a 1973 400 in it.  Looks exactly like it did when sold!

Buying it back

I don’t know, I could find somewhere to put it but - nah.

Can't ride so went to a vintage snowmobile show with some nice sleds there.  The resro-mod 74 ski-doo with LQ triple was an impressive build.

Here's a friends Raider that he put a Ski-Doo Fan cooled in to included full instrumentation controls with reverse.

If anyone here wants to see a Arctic Cat Quadtrack in action, this is a pretty good video.  Kind of have the itch to try to buy one again.

that's awesome

seem to recall the little ski hill (not Rib MTN) in town having one when I was a kid

It is kind of funny.  When we road tripped out west this summer,

I saw that on Marketplace and thought it would be fun to have for that price, thing I figured out where the hell it was.

A one road in/out town that you have to go into from the west and leave going the same way.

Liquid Larry’s - that place was quite the stop!  He sold a few years ago did he not??

I believe it did. That was one of the most fun vintage rides I went on. We rode from Larrys to Tom and Jerry's in Chisholm and back.

Is that the ultra rare F3 Tundra?

Old transparency that you would wrap around a Polaris button helix to check the angle(s)

This sled use to make laps around the local dirt track during intermission.  Skis were removed along with the track and 2 small dia balloon tires took the place of the track.  The sled(?) was restored a few years back

That's cool. Arctic Kitten is pretty rare.

Anyone have a vintage sled project going on this summer?  

Prime time to start one!

Get your list together for the start of sledding season - Princeton.
