Thanks Don. It belongs to anouther test driver who was along on alot of the test trips with me. The two of us were testing the Liguifire strut sled on the last day. We came in from pounding the ditches and was told its all over. Sold to polaris. The bib is his also. He found it in one of the 295/s sleds that came back after the race. Each driver was given two sleds. One for practice and one for the race. They could keep one . the other was sent back to us. DON!!!! We should start a "fork in the trail club" To this day I can see the fork that we all took. First hint I had was 2 guys comming right at me and one trying to turn around. We both fouled a plug turning around. Remember it well. ED

Gene Ruder could also be a member of the "Fork in the Trail" Club.

Ok here is the deal. I did not have the word "snomobile" in the auction and it was making it hard to find
for people. I ended the auction early and relisted it to give everybody a fair shot.

Thanks

Cool stuff Ed,

Marv Zimmerman rode the 295/S with race number 321 in the '74 I-500.

BTW; Sure wish that I-500 decal would've been available when I redid Orvis's 295/S, rather than using the repro I had to make for it.

Only one sticker? or is there more for the back up bidders???

Post by **Wildfire II** » Sun Sep 19, 2010 9:33 pm

Thanks Jim. Bob Amber also called me about the bib. I know Marv well. This is not my bib but i think the guy wants to sell it. I'm trying to find a picture of marv on the sled. Also in reguards to the other post, there are two decals. Not sure if the second one is for sale yet. Good chance it will be??? Thanks ED

Ed, did you have a chance to talk with Marv at Waconia? What a wonder person, glad he was able to attend.
I do have a video clip with Marv wearing the bib and might have a photo on ths start line as well.

Let me know about the other decal too. I'd pefer not getting into a bidding war however, as I would be donating it to the HOF to be put on Orvis's 295/S racer.

Jim: I was in Omaha for a wedding same weekend. Havent seen Marv since 76/77. I have a pic on him on the start line. He is way on the other end and just make out the numbers. The other decal??? Yet. ED

Yes, I know the picture you are refering too, I believe it is flight #2 lined up in St Paul. Marv (#321) is second from the far end. Dano (#89) is on Marv's left and Gary Munsee (#252) is on his right.

Jim

I also have Munsee's bib #252 that was in his returned sled. Anouther bib I just found is #243 from the 73 race. Have no clue how I got that one or who it belongs to. Any idea. Thanks ED
