Since its getting closer to the snowy season.

just did big bore 780cc kit, pipes, race porting, thin head gasket and some clutch work... have a 30 shot of juice but not set up yet. 172hp on the dyno.

this is her


also have this ive been building the last few years.

big bore 700, race pipes, big bore carbs, carbon fiber reeds, aluminum filled crank, wiseco pistons, race porting, milled head + thin head gasket .... etc etc.

stock it was 90hp it makes 142 on the dyno... with half premium half race fuel. havent tried full race fuel yet.




I have one more but no pictures. 97 skidoo formula 3. pulled the 600 triple for the machz 800 with big bore 1000 setup... still not finished.

2007 Dragon RMK 600 chassis. 800 big block VES swapped in using a poweraddiction motor plate. SLP ported, SLP single pipe kit specifically for this swap, V force reeds. Est 155hp. For trail riding I got a 144x1.375" Cobra track, and for the mountains a 144x2.5" track

Plans for this year:
-Remove all decals/graphics
-LED tail light conversion

Pictures are pretty old, sled looks a bit different now. And the massive 8" handlebar riser has been replaced with a 6" riser.





This is my 2002 Pro X 440 race chassis I just sold. It also had an 800 VES swapped into it. Boyeson reeds, SLP single pipe, Pro 5 ported, slp airbox, tracks usa 136" extension, and C&A pro skis. Miss this sled!

so i dropped 7 large on a new sled. yep $70 dollars for a 78 Skidoo Citation 300. only made the 300 2 years. (78/79) tearing it down to bare bones and building it up again to vintage sled racing quality. so far have the tub and tunnel re welded together and patched up. rear suspension painted and resrung. waiting on Dennis Kirk to send me all my shocks and a seal kit. now i would love to have a brand new sled and haul a$$ down the trails like i was a kid again, but having this old POS in my garage almost makes me feel like a kid again. that old technology that is timeless in design.

Used to ride a 92ish Indy lite 240 that was my moms sled back in the day. At the perfect temp on perfect snow it could almost bump 60
Dad just got a 08 switchback 600 rollover and is finishing up the final touches. Matte black with orange pinstriping.
We still have to decide if my mom will keep riding her 550 or if she will use my dads tuned 500 and I will use the other
