Vintage Sleds?

Oh yes, We started out in the early '70's ice oval and grass-drag racing Rupp Nitro models. Then we went to the '76 Mercury liquid Sno-Twister sleds. They were untouchable for a few years in stock classes. Campaigned both 340cc and 440cc models on the ice ovals and grassdrags in the fall. My brother still campaigns a Arctic Cat F7 on the grass in Improved 700 class here in New England and has been out to Haydays races w/it. Aren't big event oval ice races coming up soon at Eagle River? We have a friend w/a old 800cc Chapparal who has been very successful in vintage events out there....wish they still ran the Ski-doo twin-trackers...they were something else to watch on a ice oval.....
