I bet he has his own room...at a minimum. If keeping those political optics up are that important....I'm making a Gnar-ass man cave and love shack in the basement. Oh...and the garage is mine!!! Sarah bought Todd his own house on Lake Lucille in Wasilla.. Right next door to hers. It has a 60'x60' hanger attached to the house. He can land on the lake and taxi up his driveway and right into his hanger. It's quite bad ass for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got pretty banged up a few years back in a sled accident, no? He must have healed right up if he’s back racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKIQPilot Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 About 150 miles to go before the finish line and it looks like several more Doo teams are having trouble. Team 6 appears to be towing. Team 20 also appears to be towing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it odd as I was sure seeing them want to get back on top of the podium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKIQPilot Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Well, the race leaders, Team 10 Mike Morgan and Chris Olds on Polaris are 100 miles from the finish line. They are about 30 minutes ahead of the second place team. Race rules state that both sleds must leave every checkpoint under it's own power. As soon as they move away from the checkpoint they can begin towing. There is only 1 checkpoint between Team 10 and the finish line. At this point they could tow in and still maintain their lead.

I think all but one team took the reflash. That team appears to be towing now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKIQPilot Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Another Doo team has scratched. Not sure of the reason but it's listed as mechanical. Team 20 had a good run going. Sad to see them drop out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKIQPilot Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 So that makes 4 doo teams that have thrown in the towel. 2 from Injury and 2 from mechanical issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKIQPilot Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Team 6 and 16 are running right together. Maybe 2 minutes apart through Nenana. Team 6 had to wait for 16 to finish refueling before they could fuel. A very close race for second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKIQPilot Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 From Team 20. Jayme Gueco is with Chad Gueco and 2 others. 8 mins · Unfortunately team #20 had to scratch in Tanana. Chads sled caught on fire multiple times and finally blew up. They are still in good spirits and most importantly...they are safe and healthy. Thank you everyone for your support. Better luck next year boys....but without this new mapping on the sleds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question always is, do you push the limits to try and overtake the lead and risk complete failure or, settle for second? Man, I always gotta go with option one of its close enough.

Well that 30 minute lead Team 10 had an hour ago is now down to about 15 minutes. Teams 6 and 16 are catching them quick. There is still about 45 miles left in the race. Teams 6 and 16 are going almost 20 MPH faster than the leaders right now. This could be a very close race in another 30 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
