Congrats Steve!  That’s awesome!!!
 

I was coming up the hill on the power lines on 345 just as you were leaving “the view”. Saw you pull away so just missed you... 

This event is only a week away!  Here is an updated announcement with a little more info than the first one...
The Andover Snowmobile Club will be hosting our 16th Annual Highland Lake SnoFest on Saturday February 16th, 2019 at the East Andover Fish and Game Clubhouse located on Snowmobile Corridor 2 (Railbed) and Highway Rt. 11. Event will be held from 9am - 2pm. Event is open to all antique and vintage snowmobiles and is FREE to register and attend. Trophies will be awarded to 4 different categories, People's Choice Antique (pre-1969), People's Choice Vintage (1970-1994), People's Choice Most Unique (Any year snowmobile), and our chairman's award, The George Burdick Memorial Award (Any year Snowmobile). We also have a trail permit to allow trail riding to snowmobiles 25 years and older with no state registration. 
NEW THIS YEAR will be a snowmobile poker run. The poker run will be approximately 10 miles and is open to snowmobiles new and old! Cost of the poker run will be $5 per hand and prizes will be awarded to the winning hand. We will also be doing a 50/50 raffle throughout the event. Winners for the poker run and 50/50 will be announced before the trophies are awarded at 2pm. Winners do not need to be present.
We will have hot food, drinks, and a warm clubhouse to relax and enjoy vintage snowmobile videos and stories. Food and drinks are Donation Only. Dig out those old snowmobiles or just swing by to check out some awesome snowmobiles from yesteryear! We hope to see you all there!!!

Great vid...love the camera angle!

I was wondering if that was you

How about a video???  This was Saturday in Andover.  
 
 

My new(ish) sled hasn’t even left my yard yet.  With working 12 hour days, club activities, dealing with a flooded basement thanks to Mother Nature, etc, etc, I just havent’t had time.  But I did have about an hour of “free” time today, so with conditions the way they are locally, I decided to ride my ‘72 Olympique up to Andover and back.  It has bogie wheels, so no worries about melting sliders with the icy conditions.  Here’s what it looked like when I got back.  So much fun...
 

Yup!  That was me!

The Andover Snowmobile Club would like to thank everyone who came out and supported our annual Italian Buffet last night, and to AEMS for allowing us to use the school for the event.  We had a great turnout, with well over 200 guests!  The dinner was a great fundraiser for our club, and the raffle tables made a record amount of money for Easter Seals Camp Sno-Mo which will be delivered to the Easter Seals Ride-In next weekend.
Also, thank you to all of the volunteers that helped make everything happen. This event wouldn’t be possible without all of your support.
 

Steve,
The plate on my TNT is mounted on the dash behind the windshield, and is held on by a few small strips of 3M hook and loop tape (the "Velcro" type stuff).  It works great.
My Olympique plate had already been drilled and bolted on to the trunk by the previous owner, otherwise I would have used the 3M tape for that too.
 

Awesome pics Steve!  Brings back memories of my daughter riding her Formula S 380 around the house for the first time, and also of myself riding my Elan around my parents house when I was a kid for hours and hours on end.  Good stuff... 

Wow!  Nice ride!  I tried to make it to Old Hill Village on Thursday night but turned around for lack of snow.  Should be in real good shape now after yesterday’s storm though.

Come on out and enjoy the day with us. Hope to see you there!

Here's a video from last year's event...
 
 
 

LOL.  No, but somehow I don’t think she would appreciate the 2” of suspension on the Elan considering the sled she rides now has M-10 suspension.  The 12 horsepower engine would be perfect for her though. 
 

Love the old pics everyone!  Here is one of me sitting on my Elan taking the safety course in 1982. (yes, I think my grandmother made my hat. lol)
 

Well I tried to go today but wish I hadn’t. Made it almost there, but with 2 miles left we hit bumper to bumper traffic. After a half hour of barely moving we still had 1.5 miles to go, so at that rate it was going to take 2 hours just to go the 2 miles. Decided I wasn’t willing to wait that long and turned around. Can’t even imagine what the crowd must have been like there with traffic like that.
That was a waste of 3 hours of my time and $20 of gas. Don’t think I’ll be doing that again. 

Looks great Steve!  I knew that windshield would clean up nice!  Nice job!
 
 

I was going to cut a piece off an old dipstick I have (which should be the same type of material I would think) to use like a welding rod, and melt it into the crack.
Definitely gonna order the grommets and fittings for the new tank tonight, and as long as they fit properly in the existing hole that's in the new tank, I'll go ahead and drill the second hole.
Thanks.

Looks awesome Steve!  That will be a great project for you and your son!  And it looks like you've already given it the WD-40 treatment.  That's always the first step. 
If the windshield isn't cracked (it looks complete from the pics) then you might be able to clean it up with plastic polish.  I've had pretty good luck with this stuff:  
https://www.amazon.com/Novus-7100-Plastic-Polish-Kit/dp/B002UCYRZU/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1533582870&sr=8-4&keywords=plastic+polish
And if you can't find a hood in time, you can always do the "frankenstein repair" - holes drilled on either sides of the crack and then stitched together with zip ties.  I know that wouldn't really be up to snorander standards, but it would get you by until you could find one.
