I remember the Rupp snowmachines.They won a few races if my memory is correct. Werent around long though-I think they were gone by the late 70's. Late 60's early 70's there were a ton of different companys making snowmachines.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

My family had the 340 sport, 340 nitro, and the 440 nitro. Lots of great memories made on the river here and surrounding hills.
Long live the MAGA King

I had a rupp and a speedway,rupps were faster. My dad sold mickey rupp the steel to make those things. Main company was in mansfield ohio. They also had gorman rupp that made pumps. Still in business I think. Mickey Rupp last I knew(a few yrs ago)lived in Florida and was always into racing. Just found this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mickey_Rupp
