the offical 2015 Revelstoke Vintage Ride

[raceu4it]

Well here it is boys and girls the much anticipated Revelstoke Vintage ride on March 14/15 on Boulder, with the club snow drags on March 15t the following day. This year's ride promises to be awesome with the help of some volunteers stepping forward, as anyone that has put to together an event especially a unique event as this knows. So blow the dust off ole grampa's sled or anything that runs, and get involved with an event that oozes camaraderie amongst all brands with participates from 3 provinces. This year looks like more vintage performance sleds showing up with even more involvement with proper vintage suits or themed groups. Your more than welcome to share pictures or video's from previous years just let the people who have never witnessed a truly fun unique vintage ride as this.

The whole event is awesome!! I am trying to round up a ride for this year but time is running out. Anyone got a nice '70s El Tigre 5000, an Enticer, or something cool out there for sale?

That pic in the poster is awesome!!

It looks like a John Deere 440 Liquid fire, maybe 1979-1980 era. My dad actually had one back in the day.

If someone has a really really old scrap track kicking around, they could probably cut a section out of it and somehow make a nice "plaque" as a trophy to hang on a wall.
