heres my 1972 snojet thunderjet 340 mod factory built race sled. its actually a 1974 tjet with 72 body work, so it can race in the 1973 and older mod classes. this sled has never finished worse than 3rd in any final oval race. moter dynos at 82hp its a full mod 1974 reed valve yamaha free air moter. has 175psi comp. sled weights 275#. it hasnt raced since 2005, i mothballed it because my bad back couldnt take the pounding on the ice ovals anymore. i might be selling this sled this year.

i paid $6500 when i bought it. would sell for at least $5500. when snojet made these race only sleds they made 100 of each engine model each year. which means 1972 100/ 340. 100/ 440. 1973 100/340 and 100/440 and so on.1975 was the last year. since these were race only you can imagine how many are left. not many at all. they are very rare. and i think 1 of the coolest looking factory race built sleds ever. and definately 1 of the lightest. those tjets were feather light.
