Secrets of the 79 Scorpion SnoPro with Jeff Biddescombe!

SnoPro driver Jeff Biddescombe details his 1979 Scorpion SnoPro at a Western show in July of 2009. This is one of few remaining original 1979 Scorpion factory SnoPros. Jeff bought it from Scorpion and raced it very successfully in 1980. Great information on the 79's that only Jeff and the original Scorpion crew would have ever known.

@kvnnagel Ok that makes sense, i was wondering if it was because they blew apart at high speeds or something, thanks for clearing it up

[kvnnagel]

Good to see this, All the years in the sport, and Jeff was always such a nice guy. He never had the big head of some of the heavy hitter factory guys.

@Arcticcatfan1892 They were specifically for the Polaris Team , they werent for sale to the general public back then. It was part of the R& D of the time.

Im digging that blue sled in the background, what is that? looks like an early 80's Polaris 400, but I'm pretty new to sleds
