Vintage sled drag racing

[handyandy]

Took a rip across the yard when i got it home. Didn't open it right up but seems to run decent. Gonna send the seat off to get recovered this fall and might get the hood repainted.

We run some old iron at a few of the vintage rides around. Always a good time!

Which drags are you thinking of attending? I have a buddy with a pretty quick wedge that might come out.

Gonna see how much time I have this winter but for sure at Wymark and then maybe candle lake. If I really get into it I might go to a few more.

Took it for a rip across the field now that we got some snow. Runs really good. A little slow off the start though so thinking it might need some clutch work. Might swap to the comet clutch so that I can easily get springs and weights

Check the rule book before you buy a new comet. That may be viewed in the rules as a modification and could DQ you in stock or force you to race in a mod class.

I'll double check but think the comet is allowed in most stock classes. I think due to there not really being clutch parts available for the oddball sleds

I was surprised on no limitations to the engagement rpm? We were limited to 5000 rpm in stock classes when I raced. Super mods had no limits.

I used to use Woodys. They are super proactive in snowmobile racing. Actual met the owners kid at Eagle River last winter at the Worlds. He was in our suite and was tossing hats around to everyone in there. Seemed nice. His girlfriend was Tier 1!! Lucky guy. Stud Boy is a
Good brand. You won’t go wrong with them.
