Makes sense. They ran Sun, Mon, Tues (Nome on Wed), run, Thur, Fri, Sat.
come on Todd.....
For those of us puzzled by what is going on in Nome, I decided to peruse the rules (funny how that helps, kinda like reading the instructions) and I learned a few things.
The Nome layover for the Pro Class (which Todd is) is 24 - 40 hours long.
The restart will begin Thursday at 0800 Alaska time (that is 1100CST).
The first five teams will be released with the same split times that they arrived in Nome. Thus, Palin and Quam will go second, three minutes and seventeen seconds after McKenna and Van Meter.
The teams are released in groups of five with breaks of varying length between groupings.
All racers and officials are required to attend the Nome Halfway Banquet. This follows a mandantory driver’s meeting.
One more rule of note, there will be a mandantory layover prior to Saturday in order to guarantee a daylight finish to the race in Fairbanks.
