BUD SNO-KING II looked more like a top-fuel dragster. Groth raced it from 1988 to 1992.
A machinist by trade, Paul Groth has a passion for going fast on ice.

His passion has led him to build some of the most exciting speed sleds ever to run on a shaved ice surface. He takes great pride in his creations, the workmanship is always of the highest standard, and the sleds are pieces of high-speed art.
