Alexander Vintage Sled Show

[RuppParts]

Great turn out of red sleds and ALL are some great looking machines

[Dave]

Here is the Limo in action. You deserved to take 1st ! Way to go man ! That is one sharp machine. Drop me a line if you want to talk about the parts you may be looking for. It was great to meet you along with Jesse and Bob Saap. I think there was more red than the featured green. Wonder if that upset the "Featured Sled" boys Red came out on top again !

Hey Ruppers: It was great to meet you at the show - your Nitro looked fantastic, congrats on the trophy!! I think we had a better showing of Rupp guys there than any other manufacturer, it was really an awesome display of some wonderful Rupp iron!! THE RUPPS WERE HOT!!! Also great to meet Bob Sapp and Jesse Bilicic - WOW, what sleds! Jesse wants to host RuppFest 2009 - he is in Ohio, a nice central point right off of I-90. More details of that to follow. Here are a few shots I took of the Rupps at the show:

[ruppersons]

Hi All,
Thanks for all the pics Wig! Yes, there had to be close to 20 Rupps on display. I've never been to a show with that many Rupps. You would have thought Rupp was the featured sled.
That Skidaddler with the pipes belongs to Mark Elwell. He sold me my Nitro last June. He's one of the top friendly guys in this hobby. And, he's got the bug as much as anyone I know. What's cool about Mark is that he's not a one brand guy. He loves all vintage sleds and has plenty of each brand. I hope you all get to meet him.
Bill Stull... thanks for the compliments. We have never talked, but I understand you're THE Rupp-man. You would have loved the turnout of Rupps at this show! You would love Bob Sapp's Rupp collection too, if you don't know him.
Steve

[wigman25]

One other perrson I know watches the Board but doesn't participate much is Jerry Kelly, MagnumAl's nephew - he also took home a trophy for 'Unrestored Vintage Muscle' with his beautiful 400 Magnum. Congrats to Jerry!! Wig

[magnumforce]

Thanks for your efforts, I can't believe the sleds there and LOTS of 'em! I agree Dave, we can't let these pics get lost and forgotton so we'll ad another sub-board dedicated to sled show event pictures like these, thanks again guys, your efforts are really appreciated These are really nice, hi-quality pictures and in high detail, you don't see that too often. Kudos to you guys for all these pictures for everyone else to enjoy that weren't able to be there!!
