I'm just going as a spectator.  Do you have a spot in the swap?

yes, going to have a swap spot.  Our buddies big sled trailer works good for warm up shack and indoor bar if the weather gets sketchy!   ;D

Will be bringing along a real nice Drifter track if anyone needs one.

I traveled light this year and left all my sleds at home.   Had a busy day Friday selling parts, rather slow on Saturday.    Always a great time, got to visit with a lot of good friends.

I have been going every year for the last 10 years or so.  This year was the biggest swap yet.  It was also the busiest I have seen.  I was only there on Saturday, it was a great time!

I was sent a picture of Interceptor #456 which was at A-1 changing between shippers on it's way to Maine.  The claim was that this was the sled used in the 1982 Shoot out.  It will be interesting to hear of anyone else having info on this sled.

I saw it there early Saturday morning.  Looked to be all there and a good candidate for restore.  Come to find out it was going to Tory Rau.  Tory is restoring it for a gentleman.

I heard this rumor at the show as well.  It was incorrect...I chatted with Tory about this.  He said that it was the sled used in the SnoWEEK (not Sno Goer) magazine, and was the Aaen test sled.
