So.....we’ve all shot our mouth off a time or two about doing it, but who’s done it? Let’s keep it real deal and not get wrapped up in the hype, I know I’m not the only one who’s won and felt like a king or lost and been ready to set the world on fire so let’s hear it....who has really and truly ran a pink slip race?

Been racing a while, never seen or heard of anyone doing it.

Raced a local hotshot years back who thought the Silver Bullet he was riding was faster than my Blizzard 9500 for pink slips. When I hit 80 mph I looked back and he had already given up and headed back to town. When I confronted him he said it was his uncles (Which I knew it was) and said he couldn't because it wasn't his so I just let him off. A couple years later I got challenged again with his Dodge car that he had done a bunch of improvements to for a $100. He was on the road and I had a packed trail in the field. He paid this time.

Well I lost a Crossfire 800 with a can and no crazy mods to a Polaris XCR 800. Smoked me. Lac La Nonne in 2008. I was so pissed off I could have punched him in the face. His sled looked like it was drug out of a barn... I’d still punch him if I saw him again.

No, he lived on RR13 beside the Depews’, where the people that now have the black bear ranch or whatever it’s called. He was friends with Dennis that talks with the voice box and is always perch fishing at Nakamun.

Thats pretty humorous, I guess you should have been much more prepared, or maybe kept you mouth shut. You probably would have still owned the sleigh at the end of the day.

What he said except I'm not sure who he is. lol

But I remember you Craig. The shop you owned... Craggars Auto, which I hired to cage my car, which didn't even come close to passing at the next annual certification held a Y welding. Hard to have anything done when the place closes the doors and the guy disappears. Only cost another 15 hundy to have the job done right.

Hmmm, sorry to hear that but you are the first I heard had a problem with the work that was done there by Dave or Chris who were both doing for a long time and as far as I know they still are. And I never disappeared just went in a different direction.
