Its Friday…I like to keep things fun. So Ill share a ZR440 story from the Scheeles…
Rewind earlier this winter to a visit I made to Aaron Scheele’s shop. Aaron showed me a 94 ZR440 he literally saved from the scrapyard. Someone had dropped it off and it was destined for the crusher. It was dirtier than appeared here, but didnt have a seat or skis. Aaron struck a deal and took it home, gave it a bath and couldnt believe how great of shape it was in.
A few weeks later, Aaron sent me a photo of the ZR sitting in the Christian Brothers Race shop. He had a seat cover made at Rox Speed FX and was messing with the tuning in his spare time when not wrenching on his son Anson’s Pro Lite snocross ZR.
Recently, Aaron calls and explains a video he had just sent of the ZR440 back on the race track. He had been reliving his own Pro snocross stories from the 90s with Anson and said something to the point of, “You kids couldn’t handle half these big jumps on old ZRs like we raced with.”
What ensued next on Anson’s behalf is pure awesomeness! The 94 ZR440 that was set to be crushed, took flight, proving dad wrong…
Enjoy your weekend. You can catch Anson racing in Eagle River, WI tonight and tomorrow via the National Snocross Livestream at this Link: EAGLE RIVER SNOCROSS.
