Well, after a sketchy Big Lake TSD this morning, and certainly groggy from the bar last night, we hit our stride and won both runs on the ice slalom outside of Whitehorse and put about 7 seconds on Car 1 and 6 on Car 2 and helped improve our position there. As long as we did not pooch the TSD, we should be looking pretty good after points go up tonight.
I did a 119.1 and a 120.1 on the ice race and the other teams did about 121 followed by 125 or 126 as the conditions deteriorated (ice gets POLISHED). Gord tied me on the first run and I beat him by several seconds on the 2nd runs.
The FORESTER XT was freakin' awesome and the Cooper WeatherMaster tires kicked ass on all others! (again and as usual). Anyone not running COOPER TIRES on the ice is just a fool. They rock!!!
Kala set solid backup times (first time racing on the ice in 4 years for her).
So we made it up the Alcan to DAWSON today and are WAY UP NORTH, with a bit more to go, but the weather is unseasonably MILD and we saw 40 degrees on the transit, but it is gonna be about 10 degrees tonight... Still bikini and t-shirt weather. Tomorrow it is up the DEMPSTER and Inuvik.... Can't see the lunar eclipse, just a bit too cloudy...
