        We think so, but will confirm it with Howard tomorrow.

          Excellent. Thanks, Mr. Gerber. I hope we'll be seeing you guys at Ashtabula in June so I can pick your brain and shoot the breeze if you don't mind.

              Sounds great! I'll be bringing my 1974 Wild Wolf to show you guys. It was a one owner machine and barely ever used. It's like brand new and all original, tires, upholstery, drive train, etc. She's even prettier in person. I'd be honored if we could take some pics of you guys and myself by it.

                  Awesome thread! Thanks so much for sharing all the cool old Attex stuff, Bill. I had no idea this stuff existed! You guys experimented with all kinds of interesting ideas. Thanks again, and keep the historic pics coming!

                        Yes Wagzee another American company that should have went on to greatness and as you may or may not remember it was the threat of out of site oil prices and shortages that put many of these company,s on the pink sheets,Mickey invented three and four wheelers thankyou very much and that snow dragster was a classic.N.C.T

                          NO Not trackster tracks.
                          Gates rubber supplied two sets of extra long snowmomile tracks for R&D reasons.
                          Attex built the rest.

                            No, Howard says they were made by Gates Rubber for Attex. There were only two sets ever made, both went with the machine when it was sold in the 90's.

                              Wow! amazing! Wonder if reversing the lower body would have any effect on a racer? Looks more like a wing.
