[QUOTE="3Roosters, post: 363103, member: 1351"] I believe Dallas is taking a year off. Mitch is like 62ish yrs old so I believe he is letting/sponsoring a protege run his "A" team this year. Like the old saying goes, you are only as strong as your weakest link, and quite often the weakest link in a dog team is the musher, so perhaps he is bowing out to see how his "A" dog team can do with a younger driver. Not sure. If any of you folks feel the urge to REALLY follow the race, consider burning $50 bucks and signing up for the INSIDER on [URL='http://www.iditarod.com']www.iditarod.com[/URL]. They have GPS units on all dog sleds so a person can track where everyone is at throughout the 8-10 days of the 1000 mile race to Nome. Kinda addicting. The actual number of teams is down this year..about 40 mushers. First weekend of March. My prediction on the top 5 finishers are..defending champ Brent Sass( who doesnt like to stay in the checkpoints too long..but rather grab a straw bale and camp out after going thru a check point...stating he would rather not him or his dogs deal with the commotion of the activity at checkpoints). Richie Diehl, Pete Kaiser, and my darkhorse to win it all is Jessie Royer. She seems to have what it takes to win the thing. She has a couple 3rd place finishes. Can't wait for the start early March.
