He was quite angry we wouldn't believe him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still they were one of the best sounding sleds out on the trail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't say they didn't have some legs A guy up on Otis bought an early RX1 and over the span of a few winters began to modify it into a top end ice missile. I think it went through the traps at something like 140. The last i heard it spit a track at top end and that was it's end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those motorbike engine sleds still sound spectacular to this day. Had one come in on us yesterday at our dinner hole in the wall and before going inside heard it hit the big field a country mile away. @Badger** might know the place in Aniwa... which is pronounced Enima with an 'A' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drag races were a free for all usually 7 or 8 sleds across. It would get beat out of the whole almost everytime but by half lake it had made up the lost ground and just started to pull away from everything. Of course it was a useless sled as it rolled over like a trained poodle every time you came to a corner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop you and I both know you don't like speed so drop the fast guy attitude. Come on C2C what are you trying to prove. Knock it off.
