Notice the engine is backward.




Jeff Biddiscombe looks over the sled he, built, raced & won the 1978 World Series
at West Yellowstone, Montana that year.   Jeff raced this sled for two seasons.
Brent Duryba from Saskatchewan Canada purchased this Mercury
in July 2007.  Brent spent 9 months restoring this race relic.


Brent Duryba and Jeff Biddiscombe stand behind
1 of 6 of the Mercury Factory Race Sleds from 1976.


Brent Duryba is the current owner of the Merc Sno Twister and restored
it back to the fashion that it was raced by Stan Hayes who raced this sled prior
to Jeff Biddiscombe.  Stan raced the sled as #55.


Jeff Biddiscombe raced this sled as #12 also known as "The Mad Merc".
Brent placed #55 on the left side and #12 with the Mad Merc title on the right side.
This sled clearly illustrates it's race history by Stan Hayes and Jeff Biddiscombe.
Great Vintage Snowmobile Restoration !
