That is really nice! I used to watch Gilles race snowmobiles when he was the head of the Skiroule (Quebec) factory team. He designed and built these rear engine racing sleds that looked like an F1 car, but with skis in the front and tracks in the rear. Very creative engineer! I was fortunate to be present in Peterborough Ontario when he won his first and only SnoPro race with the rear engine sled. The sled was about twice as heavy as a conventional sled, but it was so much better in the turns. SnoPro was an oval track series back then...
