Steve,
If you go '80 - '81 you get a cleated track, 82+ you get a solid rubber track. I'm not sure what works best for you, but I thought that might be useful info.

Re: WTB 81/82 440 Sportfire
Thanks for all the info. Looking to build something different for daughter to race.
Like the idea of a 440, with comet clutch to start with. Cleated track is a little faster in
small hp sleds. Less weight. What size carb is on this motor? Again thanks for all the info.
Always raced big prostock Skidoos so something this small and stock will be new.
Thanks again for all the info.
