I know what you mean Breeze .. I fired up the computer at 3 AM and have been scrambling with dial up to catch up ever since. Without nearly enough inoculatte infusion to clear the fog from my brain.
Things are changing so fast ... am posting in one thread, recheck stats or another AAS website for info and then recheck standings to discover stunning changes .. trying to assimulate ... brain is still reeling from info overload
Things have been changing so fast I didn't even get a chance to mention the decision about the historic 24 hour rule or other cool stuff Dr Phil said about the special banquet .. menu will be based on the historic 1908 menu that was served and there will also be family members of the 1908 and 1983 races doing some special memorial presentations .. Jason Russell and Peter MacManus (grandsons of the late PeterMacManus), and John Hegnes' great granddaughter, were mentioned

so cool they doing that dilli,
i fired off a thank you email to dr phil this am and to ask him if they would consider putting it on as a regualr or bi annual race seeing as its so exciting and there is now through the internet a huge following world wide..and coudl we help in some way?

they had 22,000 hits yesterday and 16,000 the day before on their websites, so are really pleased to have fans checking in!

would love to see this as a year roudn event and im sure more mushers would sign up if they did it again next year

I personally don't want this to become an annual race ... if it did, I think this singularly unique race would lose is special historic significance and become trite. Just my worthless two cents opinion.
