Title: Vintage sled racing
Post by: thirsty on February 20, 2011, 04:44:55 pm
Here in NH this has become really popular. Thought you guys might enjoy it since these old sleds probably were in the back of some squarebodies back in the day. I know I had a few. We had four races in our local area with a great turn out for each. My brother took pics for his website.

     Have you ever watched the cars race on a snow covered track ?  I think that would be hilarious.

Oh ya it's hilarious bake! And alot of fun too.
We were involved with the Pre-Hangover 150 a few times. This year one of the local race teams we are hooked up with got a used up dodge neon for the race. Sitting in the seat was a 16yr old that had more miles under his belt on the track than he did driving in snow. He may have won the track championship last summer but he didn't do so well on the track in the snow...ha ha It was all great fun though.

Here is a link to the Pre-Hanger 150. The black #99 neon was our entry.

That looks like wicked fun! I've always wanted to do the 24 Hours of Lemons, that also looks like fun!

     I WANT TO DO THAT.  Just so I can legally smash into other peoples cars.  All day I want to run these idoits over out here in California.

The freeways in Sacramento are second only to LA as far as idiotic Cali drivers! Makes you wanna start a demolition derby on the 80... ;D
