nutter I bought that Polaris xc700 and a Yamaha venture 700 triple with aluminum trailer for under a grand two years ago. I haven’t stopped looking for another xc700 big twin with 220 cylinders since. The hunt goes on.
I must say, after being to both Princeton and Haydays again this year I really appreciate the intimate feel of Princeton. They both have their place but I really enjoy Princeton. Not to mention I scored a PSI 650 motor package! Thanks for the video Nutter!
@nuttersspeedshop I didn't see you there. I was with my dad and he was walking 50mph so we could get home early. I wish I would have drove myself so I could have spent more time there. First time and definitely will be going every year!
Hope you remember me but I bumped into you on Friday evening carrying an Ultra hood and nose cone. It was pretty cool to me you and the gang. Looking forward watching your videos this winter. Keep up the funny humor, we love it!!!
Hurth,i had a 634Hurth i a 71 puma,wide mouth,and it actually did 78 on te gun,in like 609 feet! It was light and quick,but not fast.0 to 78 in about seconds,for an old girl,it broke alot hearts😅
I remember the AMF sleds. They used to warehoused them on the East coast distributors in Mechanicsburg, PA. They would grass drag them at Dawson's in Dover, PA. Lynn Paxton a local sprint car hero, would run the hell out of them. Great times.
Clean the carbs 🍻🍻🍻 What a great time was had!! Good to see everyone again and met some new people as well, including Todd and Trenton! Have fun with the Cat buddy! I’m excited to see how it goes on the channel 👍 Lots of interesting “weird” brands this year, very cool!!! Wish I could make it down there more often. At least Mike stayed somewhat clothed lol Cheers guys 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
Been to Princeton in 2013. Going next year and giving Haydays the axe. Too much money. I love the Arctic Cat build. You need to have a leaf spring shootout ride this winter!
@@GeorgeJefferson-h7w Eagle River races aren’t to far from me , that’s a good time , Colder the better , faster , more powerful , leap off the line like Superman ! Then go really really fast and make a left ,
@@joelaichner3025 Haha, yep. cold air means more oxygen so you can use more fuel. My fan cooled trail actually rips when it's below zero because it's jetted for that temp. Maybe someday I'll go watch the eagle river. They were still doing snowcross at spirit mountain when I lived in Duluth.
But man there is a lot of good stuff a lot of good stuff most of all those stuff if I was around I would try to buy most of that stuff and come up with some invention to make homemade sleds and stuff pretty much there's everything there to remodel slides and stuff
I sold a friend a 1998 Black XLT Special 2 years ago , 10K miles on it , he says it runs like a dream yet , 5mm more stroke in the Special motor , 13 mpg

@@joelaichner3025 Yep. SKS is the snow king special and I think RMK or rocky mountain kings didn't come out til later but I could be wrong. RMK has even longer track.
Sorry that I couldn't join you! 😪 As a fan of Arctic Cat, I would say that an '85 El tigre will not hold a candle to any comparable Indy. They ride good, but in my opinion are not that fast. Great coverage of the event!
Lots of cool stuff! That orange Wards of Ben's came from Swede a couple years back- and I think I rode that Trail Twister at BRAAP in 2012. Yep, those black Mercs are neat looking, but they used so many Mercury specific parts and wiring that turned to green powder- just like their outboards! Hey can you tell me how to get a hold of the guy with the drill press? :)
Yall just stay focused on that Camaro ! And yes, Im pretty sure you rode that Trail Twister there. Remember when we looked under the seat and found the ramdom crap that made up its " Tool kit " ?
@@nuttersspeedshop Yes ! And I believe the beat to crap mini can of Pork and Beans was hidden in there by Rampage ! It was a running joke when the other was not lookin to stash the P&B can in each others sleds.

Please hear me out.Take a 1971 puma,wide mouth,take the skid and track off,throw it away,take a skid from a 1996 bearcat or any 174 inch,or long track,and the Track,keep the ski's in stock location because that sled i narrow as hell,it would make a great back woods hard woods runner.Plus i could use it to get moose and deer out of the woods and not have to worry a trail,its skinny and fits anywhere. Please build one,ill buy it.I want just a twin 700 from a newer zr
Thanks!
Wow! Thank Jeff Lewis!
You very welcome
I got a Old Johnson Rampage sled
To the kids that made the Polaris sign,you did great🎉🎉
I agree!
I have a 1998 xc700 with 220 cylinders love it👍🏻
I need to find one.
nutter I bought that Polaris xc700 and a Yamaha venture 700 triple with aluminum trailer for under a grand two years ago. I haven’t stopped looking for another xc700 big twin with 220 cylinders since. The hunt goes on.
I definitely needed this today. Thanx!
Thanks for watching Charles!

It was great to meet you! Thanks for the advice about my shocks for “walnuts” brother!
You bet!
Watched it all eventhough i was there too lol
Did we meet? Got to make a point of that next time.

As I understand it Lynn Paxton is the guy to call for parts on these.
@nuttersspeedshop Years ago, it was. Haven't seen Lynn for a couple of years. He was staying busy at EMMR racing museum.
Unfortunately, Lynn passed away last night.
@@brettwilkinson8904 I'm really sorry to hear that. :(

"Clean The Carbs"... Sip. 🙂
That sled looks like a great buy!! Hard to find race sleds that are still repairable.
It's going to be really fun to ride!
Great buy on the amf!!!
Thanks! I think it will be fun to have on the channel.
Ive never been so intrigued by a ski daddler that thing looks like a bad ass old sled
Thanks. I might let you ride it in return for some one lung racing secrets :)
@@nuttersspeedshop lol if knew anything I'd tell you
I know I believe those Polaris fan cool engines the chassis of that sled is at Indy but they just came out with the word wedge
Let it snow!!!
Yes!
That tx 250 was my first sled. I put a million miles on it. I'm a light guy so I faired well against bigger sleds
I had a couple. Thought I might grass drag one in e stock (or was it F stock???) but it just wasn't enough for me.
The gilsons are basically a blocky version of a massey Ski Whiz. Very similar look.
Been to Princeton in 2013. Going next year and giving Haydays the axe. Too much money. I love the Arctic Cat build. You need to have a leaf spring shootout ride this winter!
That's a great idea on the leaf spring shoot out.
Still amazes me how many snowmobile companies there used to be ,
Yes, over 200 at one point.
Yeah it used to be a big industry. All kinds of races and people used to like going outside and doing stuff.

LOL! Jethro! We need to talk some time. I think I'm going to the Tamarack ride instead of ER this year.
The "tool kit" was left there by Jerry Riggin?
@@nuttersspeedshop Yes !
And I believe the beat to crap mini can of Pork and Beans was hidden in there by Rampage ! It was a running joke when the other was not lookin to stash the P&B can in each others sleds.
@@spudnikkx1112 I remember that. I think there was a can of Vienna sausage going around for a while too.
