I am trying to get some vintage pics together so that phazerhater can make a new picture page. Please post all of your vintage pics here so that he can put them on the site. Thanks. :D

Do you REALLY want a picture of what I pass off as a snowmobile? :0:

I've got one! Mint 1962 Polaris. 10HP Kohler mounted in the back. Awesome! But need to e-mail it to someone as I'm not set up to post them myself yet.

I tried e-mailing them to DanR, but my JPG files won't paste to the e-mail on this forum.

So, if anyone can give me a real e-mail address, I'll forward them on and then they can post them for me.

A couple of bouus pics also.

Thanks,

Kirk

my vintage sled :D

Hi all,
Well for my first post heres a '81 SRX 440. Does this qualify as vintage? I picked this up a few months ago. It's been repainted, I like it better than the original black. It's a little rocket in the grass, hope we get to find out what it will do in the snow this year. If I get a chance, I get a pick of the '80 blizzard 550 as well.

:D here is my yammi!!

Thanks for posting those pics for me permafrost.

One of these days I'll figure out how to do it myself. Any help from anyone
would be appreciated.

Cap. Kirk-do you have the photo's in you're puter already,in docs or something?

Permafrost, how come you never see girls like that up at Lake St. Peter? :(

I'll post some pics from when we were kids.

At Flame Lake Lodge south of Chapleau, they have a Polaris similiar to that red one, but it is a light silverish blue colour. I'll try to find it & send it in too.

I just set up my new computer at my house and haven't gotten that far. What a change from my old 1996 puter!

They pics are all on floppy disks. (Older camera, but top of the line back then, a sony 1.3 mega pixels mpegmovie/16X zoom, got it from my dad a couple months ago.

I normally post from work. I'm at home now. And I don't have the disks right now.

I'm pretty computer literate, so.....? Just haven't gotten that far, as far as pics go. From what I understand, you have to send the pics to a site, and then post them from there?

I think,or at least it works for me that you can upload right from you're Documents.
I go to file attachments at the bottom of the post page,click browse,click my doc's,click open,find the photo and click open.
Seems to work for me,other sites I have to upload to a msn site first.

Captain, all I can say is WOW! The sled looks good too. ha ha :devil:

Thanks NHS, I'll try that!

And Arcticzrt600, what's up with the arm?

Hope it's not the throttle arm!

Great pics guys!
I have one of my 1980 Scorpion Whip, but no color scanner. I'll have to scan it at my in-laws next time we're there, but not sure when that will be.

Nice pics everyone. Pretty funny stuff Revrnd, Who is the guy Guzzling out of the green bottle, and what is he drinking? :0: ;)

:withstupid:

I was wondering the same thing.

I'll have to see if I can dig up some pics of my old 68' doo.

But they won't be as nice as Captain Kirk's.

Great pics guys! I will add the new Vintage category and pics shortly. ;)

Some pics of my 76 SRX, now Canadian SRX 440.

It's red reflector on the side went off from the flash

Great pics 'doc. They are added as well. Keep 'em coming guys! :thumbsup:

Here's a couple of vintage racing pics. Not real old, but interesting from who's in them.

This one was taken in January of '83 in Peterborough Ontario. You thought last season was horrible check out the lack of snow in the background. It was cold enough to make ice but that was about it.

The class racing here is Pro Stock

#71 Tim Bender
#72 Ken Avann
#73 Gord Avann (standing to Ken's right)

Next year the weather was back to normal. Here Lee Falck #14 talks to Gerard Karpik #57 in Peterborough. I think the fellow standing behind the sled is former Ski-doo Race manager Gaetan "Chester" Duvall.

Those pics are classics Rev, I'm sure PH will be putting them in the hall of fame.

I've got all sorts of pics from the early 80s of the races in Peterborough. Unfortunately, I never saw them race there in the days of the single trackers during or after they raced the banks. :(

If there are any racers you want to see (Jocko, the Vessairs, Van Dolders, Goodwins, Gingras brothers or Riemenchneiders) let me know & I'll see what I can do.

Just added them. Definite Hall of Famers there!! :D

toydoc, now if Yamaha would support racing now like they did back in the 70s you blue guys would have somthing top smile about :D

Cool pics revrnd. Post all you have and see if we can find area for them.

Some pictures of my 1978 SSR 440 IFS sno-pro.

(I had to delete my post above and edit my pic, it was way big :) )

Even back then they only had a hand full (under 5) true factory racers.

My friends nicknamed it the ground mole chaser :)

A look at the 78 IFS

The 1973 SR 643 twin

All stock

My '72 Moto-Ski 292 Capri

Hey Toydoc, you have any pictures of the engine in that Vmax4?

That snopro is a little different from today's standards, isn't it? The IFS is impressive though for that time.

Wolfman, some pics of the engine thats in it now

And the next one up for a big bore

Thanx. looks awesome. I like unique sleds, and the Vmax 4 is definitely one of 'em with that engine. I'd love to pick one up and have as a "collector" sled - to be driven at every opportunity of course. :thumbsup:

found this one, somewhere

notice the sign??

Bombi' sign eh? Possibly a 1930 mach Z??LOL

There's several of these things lumbering around Yellowstone every winter. They are beasts!

Go to North Bay Ontario. they use them taking ice fishermen out to the huts.

There are some really cool sled pics here.
Here's a pick of my 72 Lynx 292. It is all original and has not been restored. Only has around 500 original miles on it. Factory dealer installed electric start and hand warmers.

I have some rare pictures of some Sno-Pro racers and their sleds that were snapped in 1974 at the races in West Yellowstone Montana. You can see them on Vintagesleds.com in the left hand column under Sno-Pros.

Here's Brad Hulings at Peterborough for the Kawartha Cup 1984. I'm not sure if that was the year he crashed & broke his arm there or not.

Before Bill Bickford grass dragged he raced ovals. Here he is getting ready to come to the line at Peterborough on a Moto-Ski twin track in '84
