I've seen pictures of racing sleds with the right ski offset while the left ski is at its stock location. This was eventually banned.Any pictures of Rupp Magnums built this way? When was this trick outlawed?

mark,.... i dont know for sure if in the u.s.s.a. race sanction if that was ever outlawed or not. in today vintage racing world, i think around the mid 2000's it was put into to rule that no off set front end's aloud.
in todays vintage super mod rules you can widen the front to have 40 inch ski stance just no offset.
my 295 jay sperry ddi sled came that way wide on the right side only.

Thanks,guys. I've seen a SnoPro Cat done that way, almost sure I saw a picture of a Rupp,too. They look so radical, I'm tempted to build one or look for one.
