What is your dream sled??

Post by jddecalguy »

looking at this post gets my mind to wondering, having built or restored many of my dream sleds already, dator, 1980 txl indy, sunfire(been very lucky! have a very, very understanding wife!) but to pick one sled that would be THE ONE. i would give anything to have our 89 500 indy that we got through the race program in 88 and ran in the i-500. it was a race program sled (only 500 built). i did find our first polaris race sled, and it is in fair shape, a 1980 txl indy we raced cat before 80. so i guess that will have to do for now.

One that runs and I dont have to work on all summer long and freeze my butt off in the winter time due to problems that keep biting me in the buttocks. That's all I dream about and maybe a 2007 Z1 Arctic Jaguar 4 stroke 1056 cc's...

Sleds were a pain in the ass when they were NEW. Why should they run NOW?

Rogers Winnepeg 340/s, I would return it to him, Bob's Park Rapids winning Liquidator, I would return it to him, My 4th place 1978 I-500 CC Liquifire, the IFS wish bone prototype 550 fan cooled that Russ Ebert built, I would return it to him, Rich's Soo Liquifire, I would return it to him, all of the sleds of my Dad's I wrecked, I would fix and return to him, and a Liquidator with good pistons 31 years ago, I wouldn't let anyone else near it. Any non-Deere sled in my shop would be trade material for these special sleds! Opps...and the CDI box Rich was looking for at Ironwood 31 years ago, I would find and give to him! I remember! JRC
