I agree. This is cool stuff. Time to begin collecting the necessary parts and hire the design team to build me one, even though the engineering fees will be substantial.

Joe, I like it! :beers;

The idea of Jon being sledless is a bit revolting though....I would think something must be done about that.

Open for suggestions...

Well ..... Here it is
I rode it for the first time Friday. Everything worked out well except the track was too loose and was skipping at times.
Rode it Saturday for about an hour with no problems. It rides real nice and feels right. I will have it up in St Germaine this weekend at
the Radar Runs.

I hate to admit this to Joe, but that might be one of the coolest sleds I've ever seen.
Absolutely beautiful.
