Here's a pic of Kyle Weis's 295/S that he is racing in Bevra's Barnstormer Stock class. It's a class for 1974ish and older fan cooled trail type sleds that don't usually get though of as race sleds. traction limits keep the speeds down although tumbles sometimes happen... :redface:

That's me on the Silver Bullet, but I really dig Kyle's 295/s. Maybe seeing these pics with get Kevin Campbell to come up and play....

Perhaps some peer pressure will get him racing...

How did that Chappy do?

Ron Knapp finished 2nd with his Chappy, boy that 440 Sachs just plain runs.

Here's a pic of Ron at work...

Ron is the grandson of Ernol "Bud" Knapp, he has so much neat chappy stuff it's crazy.

I know it's not a deere, but racing is racing. Here's the pic of how I hurt my wrist... :redface:

The Deere was running 3rd till Kyle had some trouble in turn 1. Those 295/s really do have some smoke on the straights. Runs just behind my 440 down the straights and if Kyle was my weight, I'm sure he'd be faster than me.

What is that all the way on the right? Boa-ski something?

good eye, it's a 1974 boa-ski 340ss, runs very well and looks good to boot. It's kind of a sleeper for that class, has a jackshaft, KH fluid brake,twin mikunis and comet clutching to boot. Lot's of potential, but the traction limits (6" carbide and 96 studs max) really help to keep the field pretty close. Roger Jordan is finishing up a Polaris Charger so we should have even more flavors on the track next race.
