    HayDays 2009

    This past Saturday I spent the day with Tony at HayDays in Lino Lakes, MN. HayDays is the largest snowmobile gathering / swap meet in the world. Here is a picture that gives some justice to the enormity. This pic is about half of HayDays.

    I did not, however, find any good deals on sled parts. My primary target was cylinders for my 800 motor. I actually only found one nice set, and it was overpriced compared to what I can get them for online. Tony scored a huge 1/2" Snap-On torque wrench for $40! It had a slight crack in it... hopefully he can get it warrantied. I found a 100,000 BTO torpedo heater for $50! She looks like new and will certainly keep the garage plenty warm.
    The freestyle show was pretty standard for HayDays. We saw Cody Borchers, Sam Rogers, and Burandt (although he wasn't freestyling). Pretty cool event and I didn't spend as much as I anticipated! Enjoy a picture of some of the freestyle madness. That is Borchers on the Ski-Doo there.

    wow, that's quite the gathering. you going to have your sled up and running in the next month? we're going north this weekend and they're forecasting snow already. not enough to ride i'm sure, but still too early for me.

    within a month? I'm not sure about that... but hopefully! I need to get a little lucky and have some parts deals work out... :-)
