AKIQPilot Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I was just texted a picture of Team 8's muffler side panel. Plastic is melted off. Seems that hot reflash they got from Valcourt was really hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKIQPilot Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Team 10 has slowed way down. They have no idea that two teams are closing on them fast. This is a very close race still. any of the three, Team 10, 16 or 6 could win this thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKIQPilot Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Team 6 is going to win this thing. They are only about 4 miles back with about 30 miles to the finish line. This is crazy. Team 16 is probably going to pass them too. I'm sitting here watching an incredible Jet Ski race on Lake Havana. We have a perfect beach side spot, watching the whole thing. IT's a 300 mile race. 30, ten mile laps. Some bad ass supercharged KAwi's here. Some of these boats are pushing over 400HP. Life is very good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may pull this off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoughnut Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 1 hour ago, AKIQPilot said: The Doo teams are definitely having fuel/motor problems. No way to know whats happening at this moment in the race with the teams towing but almost all the doo teams have been having runability problems all week. The Polaris teams have been having Jackshaft problems. The leaders had to change a jackshaft this morning. Took 20 minutes. Looks like the girls have scratched also. They replaced a jackshaft going north. Not sure what took them out. In this day and age how difficult can it be to make a durable jackshaft? smh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The XCR's had a known jackshaft issue. All the teams got an updated shaft. They still failed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKIQPilot Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Well what complete BS. The top 3 teams are within minutes of one another and 20 minutes from the finish line and the GPS tracker hasn't updated for 15 minutes. I can't believe this.

AKIQPilot Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Well it's over. Team 10 Mike Morgan and Chris Olds have won the 2018 Iron Dog. Chris has won a few times before but I'm pretty sure this is Mikes first win. Congratulations to Team 10 and Polaris for the great win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redheaded Stepchild Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Does anybody know if the winning team used a clutch kit from a guy by the name of Northstar Rick? He brags that some of the Polaris guys racing the Iron Dog are using his clutch kit. You'd think that these guys racing the Iron Dog would have clutching figured out as they are seasoned veterans in this race and wouldn't need a kit.

I don't see anything on Team 10's sleds that say NorthStar or anything on their website saying NorthStar sponsors them.
