My best friend in the 90s had one of these. I remember many a Friday night on the Salt River, ripping up and down on the ice. Good times... Simpler times...

In '82 in SW Illinois, we had a blizzard , dad just got me a Spitfire. Man, I rode that little baby day and night. Still have it today, all original. Great little machine.

I had the 1977 spitfire I could ride wheelies on it I rebuilt it up to be a mean machine. Took it to the Gresham radar runs in Gresham, Wisconsin a few years back just to show it off . Love that machine .

My grandpa had a John Deere liquifire ran fine until the 1990s when the engine broke but by then the only replacement parts we're from other snowmobiles.

Never had a problem with any of the ones I rode. On many occasions I was able to exceed 80mph. And to be honest, 60 mph on a sled is plenty. Look how many of today's riders can't control them at 50 mph.

I could go 60 on a straightaway if it would start.
