It's wrench day on the Iron Dog trail!
NOME, Alaska - There are now just 15 Pro Class teams left in the 2023 Iron Dog snowmachine race after 10 scratches since the start in Big Lake on Friday morning.
“Our sleds are like showroom condition, they are just going good,” Nick Olstad said as his team 7 arrived in Nome.in first place, followed shortly after by team 14′s Casey Boylan and Bryan Leslie. “They’ve still got a lot of race to go, 1,100 miles,” Morgan said of his team. “They’ve already done the Kotzebue loop, weather is coming in hard on the coast though — you know, so mother nature always dictates this race — so she’s throwing in a wrench once again and they are going to have to navigate through this stuff.”
“I’m hearing the trail is really, really rough — mainly because of the amount of snow that we received through the McGrath area, Poorman and Ophir,” Iron Dog Executive Director Mike Vasser said. “With that happening and not having any cool weather to set it up, it doesn’t set up and so as the sleds go through it, it makes the bumps deeper and deeper and bigger and bigger. It’s been a challenge.”
