I've seen a picture or two of some Ski-Whiz's in cross country racing action. Just curious.

Reply #1 - 12/29/07 at 5:44pm SRV DAVE; I have a friend that raced his Massey in the I-500. I know he got the sled from Massey set-up for the race. He still has the machine and I think its still in good shape. I don't know if he got the parts free or not. I'll check with him next time I see him. Later---Dick

SRV DAVE;

I have a friend that raced his Massey in the I-500. I know he got the sled from Massey set-up for the race. He still has the machine and I think its still in good shape. I don't know if he got the parts free or not. I'll check with him next time I see him.

Dick, In the book "Snowmobile Racing's Early years 1967-1973 there is a picture of a Ski-Whiz in the I-500. Looks like a 73 Whiz and it's # 196. There is about 4 extra belts attached to the machine and it appears to have a tuned pipe (or something) hanging out the right side of the machine. Maybe it's your friend

Reply #4 - 01/06/08 at 9:33pm I just talked to my friend that races a Ski Whiz in the I-500. He still has the machine and its in great shape. It just needs a good cleaning job. Its sat in a shed for many years. The year he races was 1974. The model was a 304 he said, and it had a 292 JLO engine. I will find out more from him later. later---dick

Reply #5 - 01/08/08 at 6:54pm Yes, please have him tell you more about the machine and the race. Very interesting. Photos would be excellant. I am curious why they would have raced a single cylinder machine. I thought that the fastest machines in each segment were allowed to continue while the stragglers were sent home. Speed was the key to starting the next day.
