SPOT ON! Oscar's Electric Race Day looking good

The CHT is helping out the Yukon Quest this Sunday - all you lucky mushers will be testing out the SPOT system by having a genuine to-be-used-on-the-Quest Spot thingy affixed to your sled to ensure the rigours of the trail can't rip it off, and it will actually work - just think you may be handling something that in a few short weeks may be handled by such famous mushers as Hans Gatt, Lance Mackay, Jocelynn LeBlanc, the list goes on - treat them with care - or not, they have to last 8 miles on Sunday, 1000 in the Quest, so actually give them a good thrashing (erm, perhaps should that be "testing"?). As Skijorers don't really have much hardware to attach stuff too, I am afraid they will have a few grams advantage on Sunday.

To the Oscar's Electric Race, the weather looks good at a predicted -13 to -16, nice for the volunteers, and the trail has plenty of snow that Jon, the KSA and the public are keeping packed down. Possible soft spot at the top with the big view to Lake Laberge, just stay on the obvious trail.

8 mile Twister - sleds, this is your biggie, you have 2-6 dogs; skis 2-4 dogs;

5km Kid's Race - sleds 2-4 dogs, skis 1-3 dogs
