    In 1976 I raced the Artic cat Z 250 for 1 race at the USSA east opener in Jackman Maine. We had our butts handed to us by the Merc Snow twister. My dad took the 2 Z's he bought back to the dealer because they promised it to be the fastest new sleds to race in Juinor 1 and J2. My brother and I had new Mercs the following week, as did all the other teams. Man it was great to see that 1976 Cat Z one more time at the beginning of the video. Thanks for that snippet and the rest of the memories in this video.

    • @mattsws
      @mattsws  Před 8 měsíci

      Yeah I think Bombardier invented them in the late 60s but only made them for a couple years… Then they brought them back in the 80s! Thanks for watching!!!

    1973 Cat EXT oval sleds are real rare. Most were run into the ground racing. Twin plug Kawasaki motors. That sound they made is in my dna.

    Nice video Matt. I'm hoping to get to the 24 show. I had to choke down some sorrow when I didn't see any John Deere machines. I wondered if there were any, or if the rain just caused you to run out of time, to get to those. Over here in Saint Albans Vt. John Deere was an iconic brand for our family. My first sled when I was about 14, was a 1974 JDX4 Special. The "Special" meant that it had sliders instead of boggie wheels. I think they may have only made that specific sled for one year. Keep up the good work.

      If you make it to the 2024 show, come say hi if you see me! I don’t remember specifically if there were any JDs this year. I know in 2022 they were a couple. Thanks for the comment and see you this summer!!!!

    Matt, appreciate you posting another terrific vlog about this vintage snowmobile event. Recognized many sleds from my era on the trails. A 'vintage Sea Doos, cool! Our local dealer had one in '69, but I don't remember any follow on years and few know anything about them.

    • @mattsws
      @mattsws  Před 8 měsíci +1

      I am really glad you enjoyed the video and that it brought back some nice memories! I am not a Seadoo expert, but I think they only made them in 68-69, then they stopped until bringing them back in the 80s… I was fun to see! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching! Take care!
