I talked to John Z. and he said in 2015 will be Waconia's 25th anniversary!!! This will be a big one!!!
Here is a list so far of all who are going to build a Sled for the Waconia Rupp Build off.
mcruppin
rupprat
jonsbadcats
bankruppt
hoots
Jim Nykolayko
Jessie Bilitic
Jerry Greene
I don't think I missed anyone. If I did let me know.
John and I talked more on this build and have desided to open it up to as many guys or Gals (hint hint Glenda)that want to get on board with entering this event can. Everyone will still have to go through me and send pictures of the bare tunnel and Vin number. GOOD LUCK!!!!

Yup....but since we have good snow here in Three Lakes, it's time to ride. Days when it's too cold to ride, it's down in the basement. I've got my entire sled disassembled and in the basement where it's warm. Can't wait to get this one done....with the exception of the normal tunnel cracks at the back the tunnel is pretty clean. I am a bit concerned about finding replacement parts for my 440SR. We lost my dad January 2nd so my progress came to a screeching halt for a bit. Getting back at it now.

I live in central IA. Is there anyone doing the Rupp Buildoff within 2 hour drive from Ames, IA. I'd like to learn and help if I can. I'm a fan of vintage sleds. I recently got a '76 Rupp Rally. I have a lot to learn about Rupps. I recently did my own Kawasaki Invader restoration on two sleds. So, I'm pretty handy around a shop, eh.

For all of the Build off guy's. I would like to see some pictures of the sleds if you have started on them.
