Update May 2010: I've added a few things to the Tips section and the Viewers Sleds section.
I've also made some progress on my 650 Thunder Jet. Take a look at the photo below. I've just got some minor things to do and it'll be ready to race next winter!
I'm also considering starting a registry for the 1971 Thunder Jets.
It would be great to know how many are out there still. I'm looking for ideas and feedback.
If it works out, I'd consider doing the same for the other years.
Update March 2010: I've added some new stuff to the Viewers Sleds section, including this one below.
Update January 2010: Here's another little treat. Take a look at the Sno*Jet Parts Warehouse back in the day...
Update November 11th 2009: I've got a real treat for you all. Take a look in the Sno*Jet Research, Development and Prototypes Section
Update November 10th 2009: Here are a few of the sleds that were in the 2009 show in Regina. Doug Ruf did an incredible job on these ones.

Update November 1st 2009: I've been fixing up the site a little at a time. I've also added new stuff in the Tips section, as well as some new Vintage Racing Pictures.
Update October 2009: My 650 is running and almost ready for the snow. More updates coming soon.
Here is Don Lawrence's 1972 Tjet 440. It's got AAEN drag pipes, 40mm mikini's and modern Polaris clutches.
The spindles and steering are all billet aluminum and a chrome molly steering shaft.
The sled weighs 268 lbs. More work is currently happening on the sled.
