Yep that was the original name I gave him before he morphed into Ozone Guy. Hope he is doing well wherever he is.

Was it a v max 4 with pink paddles?

I don't remember the sled but do recall the paddles were that raw plastic white colour.

I think Vernal Simmons was the original creator of the plastic paddles. His were flexible but pricy compared to all the guys making them homemade out of cheap plastic.

My cousin Howard sold thousands of the plastic paddles in all sorts of colors in the early 90’s.I think he sold more than anyone else. He made a chit load of money distributing them,until the rubber paddles took over around 1995.

Sadly haven’t been to Sale since a couple friends had their trucks and trailers broke into a few years back on two different weekends.

Been leaving everything unlocked and nothing to steal method for the last 10 years. knock on wood we haven't had to replace any windows or trailer doors. It seems if its locked, they find a ways to do more damage than the value of what's in the truck.

Thieves will take anything. Lots of guys losing sled covers over the years at Quartz. Super Clamps and spare tires are free game as well

Did you touch a piece of wood? I hope the above hasn’t put a jinx on you.

Hopefully there are some stories of thieves losing teeth and hair soon. Gotta be a real POS to steal clamps or tarps.
