| Here is Daren's pride and joy! This sled is the only one that Daren is willing to be seen riding regularly, it is also the only one he has given a name. Yes, it is known by vintage sledders around the area as Krusty. Seriously, Krusty is Daren's 'Daily Driver' and although she's not cosmetically perfect, the sled is in very good tune. In this photo, Daren warms her up after starting her with one pull.

| I was given the honor of zooming around in Daren's yard on Krusty, and I found that she handled very well. I was very impressed with the power and torque. Although the decals indicate a 340, look out! Krusty has a Kohler K440 2AS installed. Again, Mercury fans will recognize it as the engine in their Trail Twisters.

| Here Daren negotiates the transition between yard and driveway. My opinion is that Krusty is a very well taken care of sled. It only looks bad when parked in Daren's stable with his other sleds. Krusty has the honor of actually being ridden frequently. The others are too nice to risk riding very often. Krusty enjoys her own special place of honor in Daren's garage, very close to the door!
