Are those homemade lifts?

Just tables, they sit in holes we poured into the concrete that will allow real lifts to sit flush with the floor when lowered in the future.

We put the sleds on the with a 4000# Cat forklift with 8' fork extensions.

This is a 25x35 space inside my friends 50x100, should have the inside of the shop insulated and finished this winter.

Only reason I asked was because the Indy trail in the background looked like it was on a lowered version

We built two tables and filled a third hole flush using what wood we had around, tables ended up different heights but it works out well for working on the different styles of sleds.

Man, you guys have some pretty serious machines! But then, you're probably more serious riders than I am. I was given my machine, in all it's barn-find glory, complete with mouse nests, non-running engine, and bungeed on seat. I have yet to have it in my current shop, but I have a couple pics from when I used to live at home and use my parents overcrowded garage.

It's a 79 Ski Doo Citation, boasting 300 fire breathing CC's! (strictly speaking, 297, but who's counting)

Couple pictures of my attached garage when I was using it as my race shop.

It wasn't insulated so often it was colder in the garage than it was outside, basically just a spot to get out of the wind.

The following winter the landlord gave us a small budget and we insulated the garage and put up OSB on the walls.

Made working on the sleds much more comfortable.

Pulled the rope on my sled after putting it together and didn't expect it to fire up right away, filled the garage with the best smell in the world, 2 stroke smoke!

I had a 1979 7500 plus, one of my all time favorite sleds I ever owned. I went to Polaris in the late 80s.

My sled shed is getting built tomorrow, can't wait! Sleds have been sitting outside all summer and I hate that!
