Project Time!

Well I am trying hard to get my next project done but have hit a few road blocks. Still its a great time of year to work on a sled since we don't have any snow! My hope was to have it done by rally time but it looks like it won't happen. But you know what let's do this. Guess what sled I am working on from the picture and win a CSM t-shirt!

Please email me at starcraft4404@aol.com and include the make and year of my sled. Its that simple, maybe. Good luck and send your guess today.

Rally 2012!

Check out the artwork for the clothing for this years rally! We have t-shirts, long sleeve t's, sweatshirts and hoodies in both black and gray. mail me for details starcraft4404@aol.com and we can ship out next day. Remember the date for the rally is Feb 11th. The feature is Scorpion.

Can't beat the 1st time

They say the 1st time is the best and I think that goes for vintage sleds too! On a recent trip to my storage facility I decided to take a look a a few of my sleds that have been exiled. By this I mean most of my restored machines stay in my shop at home but because of space issues some of the projects and "lesser" sleds end up at storage. Not that they are bad or junk just tend to be less valuable or are sleds I have had for a while. After shuffling through some original sleds and a few projects/tunnels I came across the 1st vintage sled I ever owned, a 1968 Arctic Cat Panther.

Now I have had this sled since 1996 and gave it a "full" restoration in 1997 After looking it over I decided it had to return home with me for further inspection. On the way home my thoughts drifted back to 1996 and how I came about this prized machine ...

A friend of my from Virginia Mn was telling me about a old Arctic Cat his buddy had back home. He actually had a Polaroid picture of it he handed to me. Remember its 1996 and there is no e-mail much less a cell phone camera picture. "not bad" I said and asked what he wanted for it. Not sure but I will find out was the response. Well it just so happens we had a ice fishing trip planned that winter and where going to be in Virginia about 15 miles from the sled. After a weekend of fishing and enjoying all that Virginia had to offer, not to mention the 25 degrees below zero nights on Sunday I was ready to head home.

That morning I received a call "do you still want the sled" the northerner asked. I tried to shake out the cobwebs and said sure how about $100? He laughed and said $250 My reply was "there isn't a 68 on the planet worth $250!" Again remember its 1996 and I was just getting into the hobby. Besides I had blown all my money "fishing" He hung up and I thought it was over.

After falling back asleep I was again woke up from my slumber by the telephone. "$100 come and get it!" said the angry Iron ranger. Deal except a couple of issues. I didn't have a $100 and didn't have a way to get it home. Well my buddy's must have felt sorry for me or owed me money because they volunteered to lend me the $100 and pick it up and haul it back home for me. All the way home I was trying to figure out how to explain it to the better half that I had purchased a 28 year old snowmachine. "I saw a picture of it, its awesome" I told here and raced outside as my buddies pulled into the driveway.

As they pulled up I thought my wife was going to cut my mullet off, again 1996 The back of the truck was stacked with fish houses, fishing buckets , empty beer cases and boxes of what was my Panther. I sure didn't look like the picture! the motor was out, there wasn't a seat and one side of the hood was damaged. "See you later" they said as they pulled away and left me to face my bride alone. "I can fix it" I said and wondered how.

Not knowing anything about restoring a sled I jumped in. 1st it needed the hood painted. One stop at the local paint shop took care of that. That was easy. The decals where a little tougher. In 1996 you couldn't just jump on the Internet and find people selling arctic decals. I had to have them made. Actually it wasn't to bad and not real expensive. Now it needed a seat. A quick stop at the local upholstery shop was in order. They showed me an entire bolt of yellow leopard NOS material and said they could make one for $200 At that time it seemed like a lot but I did it and it is still beautiful to this day! (side note wouldn't you just love to have that bolt of NOS material!)

All that was left was to polish the tunnel and get the motor running. A little steel wool and the tunnel clean up nice , well for a 1997 restoration. I did have a question on the steering column. It had been welded like so many early cat and looked bad. I asked my brother if he had any ideas and he said I could get it re chromed. "Re chromed?" I said "who would do that?" All the motor needed was a carb kit and ran fine. It was almost time for the inaugural drive.

The night before the 5TH Annual CSM Rally we put the finishing touches on it and opened the garage door to give it a test run. Upon hitting the throttle ALL the 29 year old drive sprocket teeth sheared off! You have got to be kidding me! Well after a quick trip to a local Arctic Cat collector and a hour of wrenching we had a good used drive back in it. The next day we went on the ride and the old 68 performed flawlessly. As it did again the next year and a few rides after that. But with the passing of time it got pushed to the back burner as other sleds and restorations took up my time. I did restore a few thing on it over the years but essentially forgot about it.

Fast forward to to Nov 2011 Back at my shop in Cold Spring. I dumped out the gas from the suitcase tank and filled it back up with fresh $3.49 gas and turned the key to start. One pull of the recoil and the old Hirth 300 fired right up! The seat still looks awesome and I never did rechrome that steering column.

I have more expensive sleds, faster sleds, and for sure better restored sleds but it tough to beat that 1st sled. Just for a moment it was 1996 all over again.

Wanted : Scorpions for 2012 Rally!

Do you have a nice blue Whip? or maybe a red metal flake Super Stinger? Or even and old school black and red bubble nose MarkII? If so we are looking for you.

We need sleds for the 2012 Classic Sno-Machine Rally. The feature will be Scorpion and we need sleds for the show field and display inside the bar. It doesn't need to be a 100 point show sled. All are welcome! We will have feature sleds trophies in both the original and restored classes.

In 2010 we had a very strong feature class with Brut/Skiroule and would like to "top it" in 2012 If you have a machine you would like to have considered for the inside display please email me pictures and maybe tell me a little about the sled and we will see what we can do. Remember we do have limited space inside.

What we would be looking for would be a really nice original or maybe a very nice restoration of an unusual sled. Also we may be looking for a machine with an interesting history or race pedigree. What do you have?

Remember the date for the Rally in Saturday Feb. 12th 2012 in St Anna Mn.

Summer Show 2011

Well another summer show has come and gone. On Saturday July 30th we had our 12th Annual CSM Summer Show. Can it be possible it been 12 years already? We had great weather and a nice turn out. The show was held in conjunction with Cold Spring Hometown Pride days. We shared the the show field with the CS Street Machines. It was fun to see our sleds next to the awesome cars at the show. It was a little something for everyone.

We had everything from a nice original Columbia to a semi restored Panther/EXT to original I-500 race sleds to a fully restored Panther "MOD".

Best of show went to a local Cold Spring enthusiast Ben Neu with his beautifully restored 1979 Polaris. Very well deserved. Ben does all his own work and is into cars and trucks as well as painting for a living.

So mark your calandars for the last Saturday in July 2012 for the 13th annual Summer Show.

Other trophy winners:

• Race Restored 1st place Ted Stanger 1971 Chapparell 2nd place Jim Jopp/Mike Hiltner 1973 Brut
• Race Original 1st place Olivia Babbler 1973 Polaris 2nd place Jesse Babbler 1977 John Deere
• Trail Restored 1st place Ben Neu 1979 Polaris 2nd place Jerry Johnson 1973 Brut
• Trail Original 1st place Jerry Johnson 1973 Brut 2nd place Mike Hiltner/Jim Jopp 1974 Brut

Summer Show

Well its been 11 years since the 1st Summer Show in Cold Spring - way back in 2000!

Back then we started with 12 sleds and a reason to get together in the "off season". The 1st few years we where next to the Legion in downtown Cold Spring. The show slowly grew and in 2005 we moved behind the Brewery on the back street. Not a bad location but we where always looking for more.

Fast forward to 2007 and we moved yet again to our current location next to the creek just off the car show location. This is really a perfect location. Lots of room for show sleds, plenty of space for swappers and right next to all those show cars! This year will be no different. Plenty of space to spread out, next to the car show and lots of trailer and swap space.

Remember this is a free show and swap. No charge for anything! Trophies will be awarded in 4 classes as well as best of show. We like to think of it as a pretty laid back show. Come out look at some sleds and have a good time!

Which Sled Would You Choose?

That can be a very difficult question. It seems like every show you go to there are different ways to judge the sleds. Some good some not so good. I think most of us can tell you about going to a show where the people putting it on seem to have no idea how to get the machines judged. That got us at Classic Sno-Machines thinking "why aren't there some kind of guidelines for judging sleds?"

Good question, well the easy answer is because no one has done it.

To my knowledge there isn't a club or organization who has attempted such a thing. Most people will tell you there is a need as just as fast tell you they want NOTHING to do with it! They either don't want the headaches or in some cases don't want to effect for there customers or clients. Makes sense. Well we at CSM don't have customers or clients so what the heck lets give it a shot!

It all started about three years ago at a CSM monthly meeting (yes we have monthly meeting) we where discussing another rally and making the regular plans when someone mentioned there frustration with judging at other events. We also in the past have had some sled owners complain about our judging. You know the same old lines, "my sled is better than x" , "the same sleds win each year" and my personal favorite; "they must be a friend of the judges!". Well we took a good hard look at the way we judged our sleds and decided we where not much better than anyone else. We needed to change. So we took about 3 meetings and came up with a 100 point system for judging sleds. Even with our small group there was a lot of debate and it was a very lengthy process. But we feel it is a very fair system. We finished right before the 4th National VSCA show in May of 2009.

We attend the show and where asked to help with the judging. We of course where glad to help and wanted to try out the new scoring system. In the prejudging meeting I explained how to use the system and answered a few questions. From there on out it was up to the judges. The process went very well and we received a lot of positive feedback on how it made thing more fair and was easy to use. To be honest there was a few people who didn't like it but for the most part it was well received.

Well that got us thinking about the classes. What if you went to football game and every game was played with different rules? How would the fans know what was going on? More importantly how could the players play with the rules consistently changing? We decided to take a look at the commonly used rules from other shows and try to make sense out of it. Well that really didn't work. There isn't anything out there in writing and when asked most people putting on shows don't really know how to answer the judging question.

On a personal note I was laid off in 2009 so I had plenty of time on my hands to try to come up with something that would be fair to everyone. My Idea was to go to people in the Vintage snowmobile industry and get them to help me put some rules together. I wanted people from all over the country. Large collectors, small collectors, average Joes, people with magazines and websites, people you would know and some you wouldn't. To my surprise no one really wanted anything to do with it! Why? we all agreed there was a need. But for various reasons nobody wanted to get involved. After much discussion most people where convinced to come on board as long as I didn't use there names. I guess I don't blame them.

Because of the logistics I decided to do most of the work via email. Which worked pretty well. There where also phone calls and some face to face meeting. The basic process was I would send out a rough outline of a class and wait for the emails to pour in. And did they pour in! The replies where awesome. Sometimes they where just "looks good" "perfect lets move on" sometimes they where "what the hell where you thinking?". The best part was to get started I was calling them "rules" and more than one person told me you can't call then rules. So guidelines they are! More emails where sent out. Things where discussed, massaged and finalized.

Well after almost 3 years attached is the finished product. Is it perfect? No. But at least it is an attempt to get everyone to play by the same rules. Can we make people use it? Of course not! But if we can make it easier to judge a show wouldn't you be interested?

Now the hard part...to convince shows to use it!

Newsletter almost done!

The next version of the newsletter will be coming out if the next few days. On the cover a very interesting sled, can you name it?

Club Update

Well there are a lot of interesting things going on in next few weeks and months for CSM. 1st of all we have snow! Not enough to ride but its a good start.

Next we have a newsletter due out in the next few weeks. Lots of content and some really interesting stuff. I really think it will be the best one yet. In the newsletter there will be the final draft of the almost 3 year long project to come up with a standardized set of judging guidelines. Check them out and please provide any feedback you have. I worked long and hard and with many people you would probably know( and some who don't want me to use there names!) to come up with a fair set of rules for show promoters and people showing sleds.

The idea was not to force people to use these guidelines, that would be impossible. But to provide a clear and well thought out standard set of rules that would be the same from show to show. This should make it easier to put on a show and let the people showing sleds know what classes they fit into BEFORE the show.

Speaking of judging CSM as been asked to do the judging and work the show for the 10 year Vintagesleds.com race, show and swap. The event will take place in Ogilvie Mn on the weekend of Feb 4-6 This should be an awesome event that pretty much any vintage sled head can find something that interest them. Be it racing,show or swap.

Last but not least there is the 19th Annual Classic Sno-Machines Rally in St Anna Mn on Feb 12th. We will have a ride, swap and show. This years feature is Chaparrel. We are working on some really nice Chappy stuff for on stage inside the Bar as well as a silent auction, maybe a live auction and much more. We also have clothing available for sale just contact me and I can "hook you up"!

Well back to work there is a lot to do!

• Treasurer - Capt. Cale Johnson
• Secretary - Bryan Rocheleau

Congratulation and good luck!

Summer Show Fun!

Well the pictures have been up for a few days now showing just a part of what was our annual Summer Show. Great weather made for a really enjoyable day. We saw a lot of new sleds this year and some really different stuff. What are the odds of not one but two Columbia Track Master sleds? Both where original unrestored machines. Very rare indeed!

The swap also continues to grow every year. It free and a great way to move some of those parts you don't need or find that part you do. Next year we are hoping for a even bigger turn out as we have a very large area we can use to swap and for trailer parking.

This years "best of show" went to Daniel Eke with a beautiful and incredibly rare 1969 Innovar Snocoupe. Look for more information on this sled in future newsletters as we plan to feature it. There is a really good back story to this machine.

Speaking of the newsletter I think most people are aware we have switched from four to two newsletters a year. The reasons are a) to get them out on time and b) to have way more content in each one. I think it will be a good change.

Last but not least we sold a "ton" of clothing at the summer show. New , old it didn't matter it was selling fast. We still have a few pieces from last year with the Skiroule and Brut on them and the new 2011 with the Chaparral on the front. Also in limited supply a few specialty shirts but you have to email me about those. Its kind of a secret! Now back to getting ready for the 2011 Rally!

My Top Ten List

The following is my all time top ten list and the reasons why. Some of the sleds I already own and others I hope to. Some may be out of reach but you never know. So here we go-

• #10 1971 SkiDoo Blizzard Those of you who know me may be surprised to see a SkiDoo in my top ten. But a fact is a fact the Blizzard is a awesome sled. If you have ever heard a 775 run you would be a fan too!
• #9 1971 Rupp Magnum Red , black, free air motor, tuned pipes. Enough said.
• #8 1971 Arctic Cat Puma Not a rare sled by any means but if you have ever road one you know why it makes my top ten. Short, light, quick and easy to maneuver. These sleds are a blast to ride. Easy to "hop up" and make a great race sled. Hold there value well and are easy to resell.
• #7 1980 Arctic Cat SnoPro Rarest sled on my list. Low, sleek and incredibly powerful. Tremendous racing heritage. These sleds are on most guys wish list. Ever notice in all the pictures of these sleds being raced the driver looks WAY to big for the machine?
• #6 1974 Yamaha GPX I have to confess I don't know much about these machines but I know I want one! Great racing heritage and maybe the meanest looking hood of all time.
• #5 1973 Polaris Starfire With all do respect for Polaris lovers everywhere, I just don't like most Polarises. But as far as historic sleds go you have to include the Starfire. Beautiful, powerful a great all around machine. One of Polarises greatest all around sleds. Always associated with one of racing all time greats, Bob Eastman. After meeting Bob and finding out what a great guy he is any sled good enough for Bob Eastman is good enough for me!
• #4 1972 Arctic Cat EXT Arctic Enterprises completely redesigned the 72 Ext even after a very popular and competitive 1971 model. Complete new chassis, fiberglass belly pan, juice brakes, mono leaf ski's etc. The 72 EXT was one of Arctic's most successful race sleds of all time. No wonder they where banned for a time in early 71/72 season by most race organizations. These sleds where raced by independents for many years throughout the 70's and where very competitive. Expensive new, expensive now, expensive to restore but well worth it. I own a 72 400 and more people ask me about it then any other sled.
• #3 1971 Arctic Cat Ext I own one of these. To me the 71 EXT is to vintage sleds as 1970 Chevelles are to local car shows.Wildly popular sleds. Hold there value well. I wish I had 50 of them to sell! The 340 version was Arctic's most successful racer. Unfortunately I think this sled is cloned more than any other. Basically take a 71 Puma, drop in a free air twin, bolt on a re pop hood and now you suddenly have a EXT. Mine is a 292 model with only 241 made but there sure seems to be a lot of them out there. Buyer beware!
• #2 1971 Skiroule Racer If you where lucky enough to see one of these is the fall of 1970 you must have thought it was from outer space! Wedge hood, free air motor, wild green color and those chrome shocks in the back. This wasn't your fathers boxy Panther or SkiDoo Oly. Ultra rare race sleds way ahead of there time. Kind of a checkered race history but definitely a sled on my bucket list. Hard to even find one of these sleds for sale unless you are in the green Skiroule inner circle. The ones I have come across always seem to be basket case. If you are reading this and have one for sale let me know!
• now drum roll please....... # 1 1969 Arctic Cat Panther Mod! When the door dropped on the Arctic race trailer in Eagle River Wisc for the 1969 World Championship and Roger Jannsen and the boys from Thief River unloaded the top secret 744 powered J-LO free air Panthers I am sure you could hear jaws dropping all the way back to Roseau and into Canada. These sleds just look mean! With the Bosscat hood with the gigantic opening to feed the monster J-Lo motor. Megaphone out the side. Sinister black. These machines where unlike any others out there. With Roger "the bullet" Jannsen blowing away the field Arctic went on to also take 2nd, 3rd 4th and 5th. This changed everything and really made the competition take notice and increase there race efforts. Not every Mod Panther is the monster 744 I am currently restoring a 300 Hirth Mod Panther. But that is not the reason its on list at number one. I have wanted one for a long time. Unfortunately Mod Panthers are probably the 2nd most cloned sleds next to the 71 EXT.

With there sinister good looks, undisputed racing heritage and limited availability the 1969 Mod Panther is my all-time # 1 sled.

Random Vintage Snomachines Thoughts

Why is it easier to stay motivated and restore a sled in the summer instead of winter? Right now is the best time in years to purchase a vintage sled. There are great deals where ever you look. Still working on the "judging guidelines" turns out it's a LOT MORE work than I had originally thought. If everyone hates e-bay so much why does everyone use it? Summer show in Cold Spring July 31 Come out and have a good time. It's free! Just got the new VSCA magazine, great coverage of CSM Thanks Mike. Still need a motor plate for my 1969 Panther. Winter is less than 6 months away. Why is it everyone wants a Puma but you can't give away a Cheetah? Next CSM meeting at my house July 26, free beer! Confirmed a 1972 Panther 440 for sale in St Joe.....hope you are sitting down $1200 I heard it is really nice but lets face it there isn't a 72 Panther on the planet worth $1200! I have a really nice one and paid $350 for it. Old doesn't always equal valuable. Why is easier to write when you drink a glass of wine? Well that's enough for one night and my glass is empty.

Rare Skiroule to be at 2010 Rally

A Minnesota Skiroule collector has agreed to bring part of his collection to this years rally including a ultra rare RT-800 This is considered by most to be one of the most desirably of all Skiroules. Sporting the 793 Hirth triple the most unbelieve part about this sled is it's all original! This sled is incrediable rare and believed to be the ONLY unrestored RT-800 on the planet according to the owner. But don't let this beast scare you we want any type of green machine from the one bangers all the way up to the 793 for this years show.
