{"product_id":"vintage-snowmobiles-1968-1982-snowmobile-racing","title":"Vintage Snowmobiles 1968-1982 \u0026 Snowmobile Racing","description":"The Golden Age of snowmobile manufacturing was from 1968-1976 with a \ngradual slow down leading to 1982. During this time literally hundreds \nof snowmobile manufacturers sprung up and then disappeared.\n\nThis book is a look at all the most interesting, rare, or collectible \nsnowmobiles from that time period. The big names like Arctic Cat, \nPolaris, Ski-Doo, Yamaha, John Deere, Scorpion, Snow-Jet, Mercury, Rupp, \nMoto-Ski, to the many small-company brands like Allied, Boa Ski, \nChaparral, Evinrude, Harley Davidson, Johnson, Polaron, Sears, Skiroule, \nSno Prince, Viking, and even includes a chapter of collectible racing \nsnowmobiles in the hobby, like the 1977 Arctic Cat Z that turned Arctic \nCats racing program around, and treasures like a 1973 Chaparral grass \ndrag sled or a 1974 Roll-O-Flex called The Wild One.\n\nThis book would be a benefit to anyone interested in sleds from this \ntime period or looking to buy a more collectible sled from this era.\n\nTo the tops of mountains, over water, sand and grass, and of course on snow and ice, snowmobile racers have traversed the toughest terrain to push their sleds to maximum speeds. Competing since the second sled was built, vintage cross country, drag, and ice oval racing have paved the way for today's extreme competition racing at events such as the X-Games Snocross. This book traces the development of how snowmobile racing got to where it is today with influence from sanctioning bodies and organizations like the USSA, ISR, and WPSA and milestone moments in sled-racing history.","brand":"MidlifeClassicCars.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45132750422296,"sku":"KITB05346\/9781583881705","price":96.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/9813\/3831\/files\/kitb053469781583881705_3d0a7568-c580-4ed5-8ce1-f5a9a8630a3d.jpg?v=1772251591","url":"https:\/\/www.midlifeclassiccars.com\/ar\/products\/vintage-snowmobiles-1968-1982-snowmobile-racing","provider":"MidlifeClassicCars.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
