Got you covered JRC. I will be home for long weekend on the 15th and will have time to get your box shipped out finally. I will add bumper tape to it, can't have your sled not looking good!

Hi Jon,

Nice artical on Brian, here is the direct link for those that haven't read it:

http://www.arcticinsider.com/Article/Br ... -the-I-500

Progress is steady on Ken's and my racers. More parts have come in, more being sent out. We have locked in our hydraulic brake set up as part Willwood, part Hays. Bars and controls are pretty much done. Still working on the rear skid and shock set ups. I will be home for a long weekend next week, going to spend lots of QGT (Quality Garage Time) working on sleds with Kenny. Expect to be on the dyno by November.

Hope yours are going well. Your care package will go out a week from Monday!

Thanks Joe.....A care package of Arctic Cat stuff will arrive tommorow, about the same point you are, total change in bar position and seat, engine, track on dyno at present, building skid frame, moving to powertrain fabrication and install, it's a Deere with Cat converters, brakes and control, ski/skid frame engineering worked out well this week with shocks, springs, ect. I'm good on dash, and hoses so no worries there. Get your reservations at the Casino, they are going fast. JRC
