Looks like it was alot of fun.We have a vintage sled show coming up feb 9th just north of syracuse in fulton n.y.It should be a good one.Ray

Looks like a blast Yoop, nothing beats those old machines. I know a guy who races those old sleds, and one of my buddys is restoring a pretty rare John Deere 340 factory race sled, I guess the little 340 really scoots.

I am actually picking up a '70s (not sure the exact year) Roloflex 400 either Friday or Saturday to ride in a vintage snowmobile derby on the 19th, your only aloud 1980 and older sleds. My buddy will be on his 1979 Skidoo 370.

# 18 Artic Cat

WOW,

I can't even imagine what that #18 Artic Cat, with 4 cylinder 2-stroke; would be like to ride.

The acceleration would push your eyeballs back into your head. :thumbsup:
