Jeff has been a huge support  to all Vintage enthusiasts on  the legislation that has been passed. His leadership has helped to correct some things and improve some things for us all. The fact that he has become a well respected leader  as a AWSC Director has helped most other Directors understand and agree with what Jeff proposes to help all us Vintage enthusiasts. Here is a big  to Jeff.

About the same as last year. Had a few new people show up, had a few from last year not show up.

For me, not such a good ride. I rode my '99 ZR 20 miles to join the ride, then switched sleds with my wife. She took the ZR and I took the '79 Trailfire. We made it about 3/4 of a mile and the ZR lost spark. Towed it back and took it home. We met all the rest with the truck. I think it's a stator. The John Deere ran fine.  The next day while I'm working on the ZR to see whats wrong, the '78 Kitty Kat died, hole in the piston.   :banghead:It has not been a great winter for my sleds.

Oh well, at least it's not July or August. Hot weather sucks. I love winter, even when the sleds don't.

Member Builds / What are you working on this summer?

« on: April 19, 2014, 01:32:25 PM »

I have finally started working on my Scorpion Sidewinder. It's not going to be a restoration. Just want to make it a rider for next seasons rides. It needs a bunch of work just to ride it, but I have all summer.

This sled was given to me by my dad. He bought it from a Scorpion sales Rep. from northern Wisconsin when I was in high school. So I am the 3rd owner. I remember test driving it before he bought it, I thought that thing was awesome. Well over the years Dad must have really put it to the test, because the rear suspension is broke for the 2nd time and the front end hangs lower on one side. I am looking for parts and I think I have the front figured out. After fixing those and doing some fuel system and carb work, I think we will be able to ride the old girl next season. I had one of my own that I should have kept. It sure would have been neat to have a pair of them. When my boys got old enough I traded mine for a pair of Kitty Kats and some cash. That was a mistake. 

What are you guys working on this summer?

The AWSC recommends that each club have a CAP/STEP expert. That way members can go to that person for answers instead of bombarding the office with calls. It looks like we have the expert here already. Thanks for the posting, keep up the good work.

Nice picture, Autolube. I'd keep them handy for those hot, miserable summer days when you can't wait for the snow to come.

It will be interesting to see what the SRC does with the money. I sure hope that most of the money goes to trails, and not to go overboard on funding bridges. We'll have to wait and see..............

I know, everyone like pictures. But, I am not computer smart enough to reduce their size to load them here, I tried. I have pics and a short video on our Facebook page (Poniatowski Dare Devils Snowmobile Club). Thanks for the kind words, Jeff. See ya in a month.

OK, our first Vintage ride is over and it was a mild success. I think that the cold and wind kept a few away. In the end of things we ended up with 12 vintage sleds, 1 teenager sled and 2 new ones ( they were the designated tow sleds). Everyone invovled was very happy and excited about the next one. It was a little cold, but a really nice ride. No break downs and only one stuck, and that was one of the new sleds.

I know most, if not all, of you are far away from me. But, I sure hope for a good turn-out for our first ride. There is already talk of starting a Vintage club, as an off-shoot of our main club. I definately have some mutual interest in this, it's great to hear.
