aksheephuntress Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 ....How many of you all have heard of THE IRON DOG race, up here?? ....it's a 2000 mi snowmobile race to Nome??(it has almost as big a following as the dog race).Pretty grueling, and they ride in teams.

aksheephuntress Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Well, I could't figure out yet how to "paste " a link for you all, yet, on this ...but it is the biggest thing going on, RIGHT NOW, up here.....It's a 2000 mi.snowmachine race from Big Lake to Nome, them back up to Fairbanks....this year is the biggest pro class for the Irondog(sponsored by Tesoro)...the winning team takes between $10,000 and $20,000....They race between 50 and 90 mph... :Breaking news:...the governor's husband Todd Palin (he goes by "First Dude")crashed right after one of the fueling stops...and was thrown 70 feet from his machine. He was ok, I guess...don't know if he got up and got back on his machine, or not...all racers are required to wear helmets and body armor.... ...I'll keep you all posted, if you want...or, you can just type in "Alaskan Irondog race". It's our "NASCAR OF THE NORTH"!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
