| Hello! My name is Don. I am a confirmed Arctic Cat Vintage Addict and I am a lifetime member of V.S.R.A. (Vintage Snowmobile Restoration Anonymous) I first started showing symptoms of this very contagious disease in 1989 when I became the owner of a 1975 Arctic Cat 340Z. This sled was restored over the next two years and then I purchased a 1975 Trail Cat, restored it, and then a 1971 EXT. By this time it became quite evident that I was severely infected with this disease, with very little hope of being cured. To date I have restored 18 sleds and have another 6 sleds in various stages of restoration. All of the sleds, both restored and unrestored run and are driven 2 or 3 times each winter. The restored sleds are shown at various shows and displays both in Canada and the U.S. My King Kat 800 and 1970 Puma Mod were on display at Thief River Falls Cats Pride Home Town Tour in January 2001. I am a retired City of Winnipeg employee so have a little extra time to spend restoring my sleds. I did some racing in the early 70's, such as the I-500 in 1970, 1971 and 1974. I still enjoy entering some of my vintage sleds in local vintage drag races and have been known to participate in One Lunger 100 races with my son as well. I still own and ride newer sleds (2004 model) and particularly enjoy packing my saddle bags and taking off on longer tours. My first Arctic Cat sled was a 1969 Panther 372 JLO, purchased new in November 1968. This sled replaced a "brand X" sled purchased earlier. Since then I have owned about 70-80 new and used Arctic Cat sleds. I hope you enjoy my web site. |
