RAID TRACK?

Does anybody on the forum own a Raid Track? They had Citroen engines , a belt drive similar to the Ridge Runner, but may have been a bit larger mechine. I saw several of them in Alaska. I believe they were made in Canada. I found the service manuals for 2 distinct models 'on-line'. ? Pictures? Performance?, Problems?
We got our first snow today,.. winter is here! August 19th!

Don't know nothing about Raid Track, used Raid on a hornet nest yesterday though. I will load a cat and head your way Lyndon, yesterday was 96 and today will be 95. Anyone else want to caravan north?

Lyndon,

We have had several over the years still being made as far as I know. They have a place more suitable for flat land use Citroen engine manual transmission that drives two cone clutch/ brake assemblies a bit notchy when you drive them and that being that reason they don't do real well in the steep and deep as you drive the incline and you disengage the one track to turn it has lost its power so one track is pulling often in the steep and deep it will spin out
