Claws on Ice - Postponed

Unfortunately, the organisers have simply run out of time to, erm, organise this innovative race. Despite a purse of $900 and counting ($250 Copper Haul Twister Org.; $100 Icy Waters Ltd; $200 Sky High Wilderness Ranch: $350 Yukon Brewing Ltd), the actual organising following 2 weekends at the Arctic Winter Games, followed by the Tok races and the Icy Waters Ltd CHT (Mar 29th) was just stretching things too far. 

However, good contact has been made with the Whitehorse Ice Racing (cars/trucks) Group, who are quite pleased dog racers have used/want to use their track and they are keen to have the competition in November + December 2008: Dog racing in the morning, followed by Truck racing in the afternoon with an Arctic Charr BBQ courtesy of IWL and Sky High. So, with all summer to plan, perhaps we'll have an even bigger purse!!

Don't forget the season finale Yukon Brewing CHT Race - March 29th, Icy Waters Ltd Race Day, sleds 2-5 dogs, skis 2-3 dogs. Brian McDougall returns as Guest Race Marshmallow.
