Hi. Im new to this forum and have been reading quite a few posts, stories and 'best finds' so I thought I would tell this story. I grew up in the Cuyuna Iron range, which was no place to grow up, but at that time the 2 main industries were of course, the Iron mines and Scorpion snowmobile corp. The company has since folded but before that happened I heard a story from at least 2 people who worked there- that in the mid to late sixties the company was having some difficulties so for what ever reason upper management decided to make an entire tractor-trailor full of bubblehoods (1966 bubblehood/stinger sleds, I believe?) disapear. The story goes that this entire trailor was buried somewhere out of Crosby, and the insurance money was collected. When I asked more questions they got tight lipped real fast. Just a story? Who knows- just thought I would tell it.

If I remember right that was a rumor going around,  I don't know if it's correct,  but , I do know that the snowmobile had about a 107 M.P.H. top speed from the factory.  I think the gov.  made them pull them from the market,  to many deaths attributed to the high speed.

Wow, it wouldn't take a very big coil to pick up that. Grin

That is very interesting, I haven't heard that one before.  I'm sure there's some truth behind it.
