The guys doing last minute wrenching before the start of the 2000-mile long Iron Dog race tomorrow! And taking a break to "fuel up" on (the usual) moose chili and blueberry pie.
Supposed to give a url for watching online, but nothing yet .... somebody asked them if they had “obamacare people working on it”! [snicker]
I kinda wish I could just post from my TV to here, but cannot do, I will just try to describe, last riders gave their kids a hug and kisses and off they went.
Team #30 about to leave next.
The only “Yamacats” are getting ready to leave, my money is on them, Team Vasser
So the Yamacats are Yamaha water cooled 4 stroke motors in an Arctic Cat chassis, they are heavier, not quite so high RPMs but considering the trail conditions this year they have the edge in longevity.
Team 36 about to leave.
Team 22 (1st to start) 14+ miles down course already, going almost 40 mph. :-)
Team 7 Scott Davis just left.
Team 37 is about to leave. More SkiDoos than Polaris this year.
If they stay on schedule, Todd/Tyler should go around 11:56
27 is up now, looks like a Polaris Indy.
11:40 right now.
father son team Shaefer about to leave.
All last winter all I did was to prep cross country snowmachines for my clients, extra fuel, pouches, snow jacks and such. Nothing this year, instead I have my 95 Goldwing in the house repainting it.
Todd & Tyler’s individual GPS:

Love that windshield!!
Go Todd, go!
Team 6 just left, another father son team I think.
Team 2 on the line.
Well, all right!!!
Is that their windshield?
LOL
