Any Vintage Sled Heads Here???

Hi Colin,
I wondered where you went! I don't come to this side too often. Nice thread!
It's funny, they talk about redlines once in a while on the vintage sled site I visit.
The vintage sled world is much smaller. I've seen many of the sleds pictured above in person.
This first photo is this winter's runners & show sleds, and I sold a couple of them.

The Columbia took me 2 years to restore, mostly looking for the right engine.
The Viking, blue Raider, and the white Raider in the left rear are all original.
The white '73 Raider behind the Columbia my father purchased new.
The black "Bandit" Raider I built almost 30 years ago from a basket case.
Tha blue Manta below is one of 2 that were blue from the factory.

I got my first 1st Place award at Waconia ("The Big Show") this year.
Future projects (Actually, some of these have already found new homes, since the photo.)

No, It's not stuck. :)

Hey Jerry......those are some AWESOME vintage sleds of yours & I love those Raiders & especially the Mantas....always wondered why they never took-off in sales? Did a search & found all these which are all twin tracks in some form...

Good to see you tagging in Jerry. Those Raiders are certainly unmistakeable.

Here's a couple classic Doo-ski's of the twin track variety.

Single front Ski Alpine,
and the double seater Elite.

Look's like they cut a leaf spring in half! Talk about tipsy, and a dude is racing one?

yup....those Sno Pony's blow my mind as they look like they'd tip over if the wind hit them from the side never mind trying to corner one. Who knows, maybe that race sled had a top speed of 40 or less? Forget about catching any air on one, might as well make a wish before breaking the wishbone.

Here's a pair ya don't see every day...
