Kahunas,
Nice sled. That looks like the Alaska hood. I think that was used for the poster photos. I don't remember exaclty how many hoods that was wrecked.
Yes, Tim had a track blow when we tested outside Eagle River. I was 2 feet away with the radar gun 108 mph, 30 below frooze my :bum: off, when the track came apart.
I have more pictures and will post when I get them scanned.

I bought the sled form a guy in Oregon, so maybe it is the one from Alaska.

I'd take one. It would be interesting to see. Could you edit out Paul Page? I'm sure he doesn't know any more about snowmobile racing than he does about NHRA.

It's funny to look at some of those old grass drag pictures. You see all pickups and a few enclosed trailers. Now they are all semis and high tech crap. Everyone was there getting dirty and not just showing "political face". I bet they were lucky to have a PA system there. Grass roots stuff there...

I would like a copy of that Grass Drag action, and Chris I imagine it must be you posting the pic.s of the formula 111 sled as I put similiar ones on the site. Remember when you first came to this country and I gave you boots and a Jacket to wear, you wer'nt in the U.S.A. 6 hours and we were heading for Haydays.....

This thread is like way tooo cool, Awesome stuff here!!!! The ports in those pistons 4 pages back are quite interesting too. Strokin4, you running with them Wahl boyz in the Champ class at ER? Which sled are you riding in that pic? I was at Eagle River with Dean Joas when Bender was running those sleds. Thanks for all the history here, could easily make a career looking at all this stuff. Kahunas, that tar sled rocks!
