The Fujita Scale Defined
Their Version:
Used to rate the intensity of a tornado by examining the damage caused by the tornado after
it has passed over a man-made structure.
Our Version:
In the case of the Mercury Twister line of snowmobiles, this same scale is used to rate the intensity of a twister by
examining the damage caused after it has passed over a phenomenom created by Mother Nature, snow.
The Mighty Kitty Cat Racer Returns to the Racing Scene!
Sunday March 08, 2009
After an eight year hiatus from the (kitty cat) racing scene, Brittany gives racing another try, this time on a 340 Trail-Twister at Lily, WI.
Before
After
This image was taken a couple seconds before the "After" shot. Apparently her memories of racing the Mini-Twister were still strongly embedded as she neglected to let off the throttle with the bigger sled. Her comment after getting off the track was, "Where is the next race?".
FEELS LIKE ITS BEEN A YEAR OR MORE
Sunday November 23, 2008
I told the wife I was going grocery shopping and then I slipped out into the shop. I used a nifty lil homemade sheet metal brake (that #111 left in my shop) to bend up an enclosure for the pan. The parts for one side have been cut, bent and fit. Maybe I'll tell her I'll do some clothes shopping and get out and finish the other side shortly.

BABY STEPS
Monday May 28, 2007
A little bit of progress has been made. Rear torsion springs have been changed to suit a lighter rider and make the ride height and looks of the sled more level. The engine will be changed to a piston port style so I can bring the engine back and give more shock clearance up front.
Small drive cogs for your studding pleasure.
Monday September 19, 2005 Don't tear up that tunnel/gas tank on your F/A or T/T, order a set of small drivers for your Merc for $65 a set plus shipping. These drivers are used on many of the oval and drag sleds in the winners circle across the country. Send me your hex shaft and I'll press them on for free and ship them back right away.

A Mercury/Ski Doo reunion of sorts
Friday August 15, 2003 I was lucky enough to get to rub elbows with the crew from the days of racing that fascinates me the most.
