I'm headed up to this with a few of my rigs. I was asked to bring some snow cats and see if anyone else would bring one. Logga is bringing one of his Lombards and his torpedo. My friend Dave is bringing his 1965 Tucker 443 and my friend Bill bringing his 1974 Tucker that has been very nicely restored and slightly modified.
If anyone else is interested they should call Shane at (603) 481-1219.

Would have loved to get the cat up there but booked family weekend in Conway.

You have some nice representation already with the line up! Take some pics.

The second trip. The sun was not up when we left so I could not take the pictures until after we unloaded.

I have been around sleds for most of my 50 years and there were a lot of brands there that I have never heard of. The restorations of many of these sleds is very impressive. It's nice to see other people preserving a piece of history.

Thanks for the invite vintagebike,maybe someday. I was whineing because I had to get up at 4:30 AM to get there and it is only an hour away.

I did see a John Deere there, It was a modified race sled. I don't think they would part with the engine.


This next pic is what happened within seconds of Loggah starting the lombard. He would be talking to about two people they would show up like ants at a picnic.

where I live I have modern engines running out my ears I really want to keep the ccw fan cooled engine it was such a good motor had I not loaned out the machine I would still have it running today. the head came loose and the guy who borrowed it rode it home from 40 miles away and burned a piston. he did make it home and the machine still ran sounded like an elan.
