from moving these treasures around. If only they could tell a story, including the old locomotive rolling thru in the background.

Could you imagine if you gave one of those original owners a new 2011 sled, there head would explode.

Hmmmmm.....I've owned quite a few like those since 1968. My 2007 hasn't made my head explode yet. I just smile a lot and my back doesn't hurt so bad! What's so special about the 2011's? ;)

Most of those old goats are 200 lbs lighter than today's rides so I don't know what you are whining about.

Some of the old oval sleds only weigh 250lb and had about 75hp. 1974 340 thunderjet (snow jet) suspension sucks but a fun little sled to blast 660ft on. Raced cross country with a whole 6 inches of suspension now you have 13 on the rear 9 to 11 on the front.

I used to go with my bud who raced with a 74 thunderjet 340. The 650 polaris starfires couldnt catch him on the 1/4 mile oval. Put it to the bar and never let off.Ahh the good ole days!!!
