Thanks paul. I'm thinking of bringing the 1200 down with the plow. Not sure if its in the budget yet. What's the cost for your average joe like myself to come and show off a cadet or two?

 

[pdyer]

Joseph, If you bring something to display (not sell), it's free. Otherwise there are some small fees charged for activities(such as the tractor pull) to cover insurance and sled cost. You can call the phone numbers provided for accurate information. I hope this helps.

Sounds good jeff. The 1200 isn't the prettiest, but its neat in red and way better looking than my 1450. Will you be bringing the 169?
