Oscar's Electric RESULTS!

A chilly -33'C (and some sun, but that didn't appear to warm anything: Snowpig's dog truck still died in the dog lot - but then that's the point of these local races - find out what's going wrong near to home, rather than a Sunday afternoon in Tok, for example) greeted the hardy mushers on Sunday. The snow packed trail was a little sticky. almost gritty at times with the temp but the times were great:

Thanks to everyone for turning out including of course the volunteers who had to stand around in the cold, pointing everyone in the right direction and OSCAR'S ELECTRIC for the $$$, and First Mate Dogfood, Yukon Grain Farm ($7 a bale straw), Yukon Honda, C&D Feeds, Muktuk Adventures, Aurora Booties and of course host Icy Waters Ltd.

That wraps up Jon's organising of 4 seasons of Hot Hounds and 4.4 seasons for the CHT - thanks everyone, in the words of Vinnie Jones "It's been emotional" (first to tell me the movie that comes from, I'll buy a beer: Yukon Brewing of course, unless somehow that violates some Lotteries/Liquor Bd regulation).

Next Race, Next Year - January 16th: Duffy's Pets and Tanzilla Harness Supply Race Day, kindly organised by Claudia Wickert & Fabian Schmit, live at Icy Waters Ltd.

Anyone care to step up and organise the February Race? Everything is in place except an organiser, and Jon's written out the "how to do it" checklist.

Keep watching the blog (I'm not giving that up!), Cheers, Merry Christmas and Happy Training!
