The 3rd Annual VSCA National Champion

It is a 1973 Chaparral SSII owned by Dan Lewallen from Winona, Kansas. Dan traveled 1312 to attend this show and he is one happy person right now! Once again the voting was very close , with Dan edging out about five others by one point. Congrats Dan!

The show was held in the beautiful Coeur D'Alene, Idaho area at the Kootenai County Fair Grounds. There was a lot of inside display room, but being the weather was so great many decided to set up outside. The award ceremony was held on a Cruise ship on Lake Coeur D'Alene.

Some of the nice sleds at the 3rd Annual VSCA National that you do not see everyday!

PLUEDDEMAN AIMS FOR DEATH VALLEY REPEAT

"105 Miles Closer to a Cure for Diabetes"
 
OSHKOSH, WIS. (July 21, 2008) -- Charles Plueddeman has announced that he will participate in the 2008 JDRF Ride to Cure Diabetes, a 105-mile bicycle ride across the desert and salt flats of Death Valley. Last year, Plueddeman completed the ride with the 10-person team from the Northeast Wisconsin JDRF chapter, and personally raised more than $8,000 for JDRF. More than 250 riders completed last year's ride and raised more than $1 million.
 
"It was Death Valley, but nobody died," said Plueddeman of his 2007 Ride experience. "We battled temperatures in the mid-90s and 45 miles of 30-mph head winds. It was a tough physical challenge, but nothing compared to the challenges faced each day by people afflicted with Type 1 diabetes."
 
Plueddeman is again dedicating his ride and his fund-raising efforts to his nine-year-old daughter, Mabel, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when she was two years old. See the attached Ride Flyer PDF for more info and a cute picture of Mabel.
 
 
Plueddeman, still smiling, at the half-way point
of the 2007 Death Valley Ride to Cure Diabetes.
 
"Before the ride, I zip-tie an insulin syringe to my handlebars," said Plueddeman, who recently turned 50 and was disappointed to find out there is no "Vet" class in the Ride. "When my legs ache and my bum goes numb, I use that syringe as motivation. It's a reminder of the thousands of insulin injections Mabel has had to endure, and the sacrifices she's made, to live with this disease."

Jim Peterson was a good Friend

Jim Petersen was a very good friend of my uncle so that is how I knew him.  Many times he would be over at my uncles house chatting with him.  Jim was a very meticulous person in  that everything he owned he kept in perfect condition and spotless.  A few years back when I got the vintage bug, I picked up a 1969 Panther.  Jim is the one I bought all my parts from.  He was a guru of Arctic Cat sleds from 1971-1973.  Jim would travel around the Midwest visiting Arctic Cat dealers always looking for NOS parts of the early seventies.  Always on the lookout for the elusive EXT taillight.  He would then put them on E-Bay for others around the world looking for that one part they needed.  It was more of a hobby than to make money.  Listening to him was a great experience knowing that probably nobody else in the world knew these parts better than him.  He took a lot of pride in his Cats.  You can see that in the September 2006 issue of your magazine where Charles Plueddeman did a story on his "Daydream Cheetah".  Jim always like to get the newest and biggest Cat.  Recently though he had his 4-stroke touring, it was quiet, easy on gas, yet still fast.  I never rode with Jim but heard a lot of stories.  Jim was also big into Street Rods that is how my Uncle knew him.  Jim was very well liked by many many people. He was someone I looked up to.  I hope somebody out there knew him better than me to do a story on him.  I'm sure a lot of people will be saddened to hear of his passing.

2nd Annaul VSCA Show Championships

The 2nd Annual Show in Springfield, Mass. was another huge sucsess. The show was well run and the sleds were top notch. Howard Billington was the big winner of the weekend with his Viking taking the top honor as the "2nd Annual VSCA National Show Champion"

Here is a few more pictures of the show. Watch for full coverage in the December issue of the VSM.

More to come soon.

 

 

The 2nd Annual VSCA
National Show Championships

Ok Guys and Gals, only 13 days to go until the 2nd Annual "Vsca National Vintage Show Sled championships" in Springflield, Ma. This show is a two day indoor event. In order to show your sleds at this event all sleds need to be in the building on Friday before 9pm or Sat 7am to 9am - doors close to show sleds at 9am prompt. For more info go to: www.sledmass.com. Andy Holland and his crew have worked very hard on getting this show ready. Judy and I look forward to seeing you all in the east very soon.

Here is a slide show sent in by Andy Holland from MA. Take a few minutes and enjoy!

Start slide show

 

The Princeton Outlaw Grass Drags are coming up this weekend Aug. 25-26th. Judy and I will have the VSCA trailer centered on the east end of the track again. Stop by the VSCA booth and say Hi. You can also drop off any "Reader Rides" you may want to be in the magazine! Rumor has it there is already many more Vintage sleds than last year signed up.

See You all there!

 

 

Judy and I just returned from the Grantsburg, WI. World Water Cross Championships. It was another great show, besides the weather turning a little damp on Sunday. Ya, can you believe that, it really rained, that is not something you see much of in Central, MN right now. I believe Kevin and Evan hosted about 97 Vintage show Sleds. With the Hockey Association this year they have recruited Duke Tucker to head the event. I must say he is a very exciting person to talk with. He is looking at building all aspects of the show including the Vintage Part. The one thing Duke will be working hard on for next year? Vintage Watercross on Friday night! So any of you with the old 84 and older water sleds, drag them out and start polishing them up. This should be an excellent addition to the Vintage show.

(Left) Brett Miller had the find of the day. A guy stopped by his display and ask if he would like another one of those Z's. The price was really right! (Right) Those Arctic Cats are real Chick Magnets!

CJ Ramstad Dies in Car Crash

CJ Ramstad and his son, JJ, were both killed in a head-on car crash  in Minneapolis at 5:00 pm CST. Details of the accident are not  confirmed at this time. CJ leaves behind his wife Karla, daughter Marly and a host of  lifelong friends who respected and admired his love for and incredible insight into the snowmobile, motorcycle and ATV business. CJ was famous for his strong opinions and valuable perspective on the  industry. He published several books and volumes of magazine editorial since the early sixties. His work as a photo journalist was  unprecedented and his archive of pictures is a treasured legacy reaching back to the very beginning of the snowmobile industry. Most of all, he brought creative impetus to the business with magazines like Snow Week, Sno-Goer, Minnesota Snowmobiling, Supertrax, All-Terrain Vehicle and Minnesota Off-Road. Always on the watch for injustices and bad politics, CJ was an outspoken critic whose research was impeccable and his opinions immersed in truth. He will be sadly missed and long remembered.

Nice video of CJ on KARE 11 TV

Snowmobile Racing Returns to IA.

This weekend December 16th and 17th the Grandstands were full for the WPSA Pro Ice event. The weather was warm, near 60 degrees, but the track held up well. The WPSA allowed SLEDS racing circuit to run five Vintage classed. They were 340-440 super stock, 340-440 super mod, and IFS 440X class.

Two Scorpions battle for 3rd place!
Competition was close in the super stock classes

From the Snopro's to the Super Stock classes the racing was good and everyone had a wonderful time racing on this track. The track was very fast. For those that stayed home this year, you will not want to pass up this race next year. If the weather allows this may grow into one of the top places for snowmobile racing in the future.

HAYDAYS O6

Once again this year the Vintage sleds proved to be a big hit. The grass path around "Memory Lane" was worn to a dirt trail by the end of the weekend. The tent had some very nice sleds for spectators to look at. There was a lot of good stories of trail rides people were on with the old sleds. A lot of Vintage stuff in the swap meet. SRX's, RV's, Z's, EXT's, TX's and a good selection of trail stuff. It was not as hot this year as it has been in the past. This made it a lot more comfortable to walk the rows and look for treasures.

The stretched Panther is always a big hit, This year was also the year of the 67's. It was allot of fun watching the old sleds on the drag track, with Kevin Lehse's twin engine, YES, twin engine, not twin cylinder, Polaris, with Megaphones really tear up the track.

OUTLAW GRASS DRAGS, PRINCETON,MN

Brian Sutton and the Outlaw Grass Drag crew had there hands full with the large number of entries in the Vintage race classes. Not only were the sleds fast, but they were rare and very well presented. Like the Alluette Super (below left)

As the day went on the sled to beat was Tracy krugers, 76 Rupp Magnum (below left) with his sister Wendy Kruger as the driver. The Krugers took home $1000.00 for their efforts. Mike Johnson did a nice job of displaying his rare Scorpion racer (below right), along with many other great sleds in the Vintage area.

What would it take get a fair number of the Midwest sledheads to meet near Brainerd, Minnesota, in the back woods and stand in the rain for 4 hours????
Maybe it was this fine Polaris 500 limited, which sold for a mere $1,650.00?
Maybe it was a 72 EXT red tagged 440 triple Kohler Starburst engine, or a 73 ThunderJet. While the price of the motors is unknown, the T-Jet sold for just $1,600!

What about a 800 KK, with a never fired 793 sitting in it. Oh ya, the original 800 came along with the deal.Check out the 76 Arctic Snopro purchased by Tom Ische. Now this has not been 100% verified, but it appears this was the sled raced by Jim Dimmerman in 76. As you can see there are many other nice sleds in the back ground of these pictures, like a Allouette Super, 71 EXT, Speedways, TX's, and a Sno Pony. There was also a lot of engines and other parts on the pile.

What a way to spend a Saturday afternoon!

Where's all the old stuff? Archived, of course!
