They have Ski-Doo SnoPros for oval racing, but they also built and raced snowmobiles on grass, ice and asphalt.

LOOKING FOR A SMITH-ROLES SNOWMOBILE

Maybe some one out there can help this person. His email address is:  [phpitz@hotmail.com]
Here is what he wrote me about a month ago.

Larry,

I was browsing through your blog this morning and thought that perhaps you may be able to help me.  I am an avid, but amateur, snowmobile historian for western made sleds.  I was the one who posted the info on the Smith-Roles prototype that I found.  I am trying to eventually restore all three sleds originally built in the province of Sask.  I have been searching for a yellow Smith Roles snowmobile for quite some time and cannot find one around here (yet).  Since they were also sold in SD and ND i was wondering if you have ever seen one in your neck of the woods?

JASON RAMSAY'S JOHN DEERE SPITFIRE

This is a 1978 John Deere Spitfire that  Jason Ramsay from  O’Leary, Prince Edward Island, Canada restored about 8 years ago. It was one of those restorations that you go down to every single nut and bolt.  Jason had one of these when he was 12 years old and always wanted to have another but could never find a presentable one so he built one.  An interesting story on how he got the main donor sleds.  A customer of his (Potato Grower) had one on these on the farm years ago and had sold it.  The sled had miles and miles on it and was well worn out.  He relocated the sled and bought it.  Then he come to find out that the original owner "his customer", still had the original tunnel and hood that was warrentied by John Deere after one year of use.  They were mint with 1 minor crack in the belly.  So Jason had a great base to a project and ended up with a back to numbers matching sled. 

1982 SKI-DOO EVEREST 500

JAYSON CHALE SCORPION STINGER

Jason Chale from Winnipeg, Canada restored this 1970 Scorpion Stinger. His dad bought this sled for him when it was only 6 months old.
It has a Sachs 340SS engine. He may still need several parts to make it perfect.  I have his contact information if someone knows of parts for this sled.
