Hello my Twin Loving friend I also have a 1997 XCR 440 I have owned it since new and will never sell it The original Red Rocket I'm a Canadian and was in the Race Program in Canada from 1992 to 1997 I raced cross country and Snow Cross all on XCR 440's it was my last race sled Myself and Racing buddy Ken couldn't be beat on Polaris XCR 440's You have a Gem there Hang on to it

Had the 2000.5 xc440 racer. Very cool you guys show this one. I always wanted the 98. When that 00.5 xc popped up I jumped on it immediately.

Eyeing up that '88 400 around the corner. Got one of those sitting in the garage waiting for some love & attention.... What I really want though, is the '89 400. Polaris really got the look right on the 400s and 650s that yr.

Dam that brings back memories. The dealer I delt with back in 2000 had a 99 440 full race sled. Rated at 100hp and he let me use it for a weekend. The clutch engaged at 5500 rpm. The harder you pounded that sled the better it liked it. Good memories.

Just subscribed. Most interesting content on your videos. Love the antique sleds and racing sleds from back in the day! Individual expansion chambers and mic. Carb’s start my heart thumping! Love to hear them cackling! Keep up the great work sir and thank you for your work. 📕

Nice sled as you said they were quick for what they were. I worked for a dealership and we built one as a pro stock drag sled. Wahl Bros. built the engine as they ran a lot of them on the oval back then. Larry Rugland custom pipes. It was sick turned like 10 or 10,200rpm I believe. Obnoxiously loud lol. Cool find
