Just checking in from Calgary, Alberta!

Just got my spark, its a 2up, tuned with Vtech. I even got her' out for a rip on a local lake and towed it with my old (fresh restore) 1971 chevy!. They both ran great!

I have a weeks vacation coming up on the shuswaps and hope to put a bunch of hours on it!

Love the resto on the chevy. it would have been a great match if you got the orange spark

How are you liking the spark so far?

Cool! Welcome to the forums! I am in Ontario so if we both leave now we can meet in the middle sometime around September!

Enjoy the sled! I'm having a blast and pick up Spark #2 on Wednesday!

Thanks guys!

. I really wanted the orange spark, but it was pretty slim pickings up here, my choices were pink or yellow! Haha

Net'. That sounds like a plan, the water might be getting hard be then though! Lol

So far the spark has been great, if it's nice in the Shuswaps I imagine I'll put on 10+ hrs so we'll get a good idea then.

It's alright I would have made the same choice between the two.

Anymore pics of the truck

Great to have another Canadian here on the forum. Didn't really know that they had water in Alberta though,

Just you who will be riding it, or it it fun for the whole family?

Just me, there isn't a whole bunch of water here, but I frequent the bigger lakes in BC like Shuswaps and Koocanusa, ect.. Plus I am interested in building a mini jet boat for our rivers with spark drive train in the near future.

Headman 69830's (69230's are the same but painted black)

I'll see if I can get a clip up of her running, until about 3,000 rpm she rumbles nice then to 6K it really screams. Surprises kids around the local town at red lights
