My old sled new old look.




Here's my chatmac sled ready for race season.
Walter made this wind breaker for me in 1999 and managed to make the cover of the winter addition of the Norland paper that year. I stopped using it when we needed full dog bags instead of the old seat bag.
I wanted you to see what I did with it Walter. I attached it right over my dog bag where the zipper broke. I even sewed on some good old Canadian stuff to Canadian it up. Click on the pics and you can get a better view. If you look at my Feb. 03, 2009 post you could see I could of used it there. My dog bag zipper is wide open and acting like a parachut. I could have shaved 10 seconds easy.
I love it. It was almost my daughters powwow dress this year but she felt it was to eskimo for her (her words).
See you soon my friend Walter I miss running with you.
2010 Southern/Central Ontario 3-4 dog championship

It's official-2010 title


The SHCC/ Kortright/Nutro Challenge-team challenge's name has officially become the

SHCC-KORTRIGHT CENTRE-NUTRO PRODUCTS
2010 SOUTHERN/CENTRAL ONTARIO
3-4 DOG CHAMPIONSHIP


It's a mouth ful but it's a pretty cool title to win I would think.

I wouldn't mind having that championship for my own dogs.

The trail will be the same as last year and it is challenging enough to have this areas race title given to it. I have worked hard over the years to get the Kortright Centre to get the trail to this point and I wouldn't want to change a thing now. It's a flat start, it gets tough and driver and team have to work together in the middle in-order to shave time and then it's a nice flat finish.


Hope to see you all there Jan.30/31,2010.

Kortright Centre/Nutro "2010" 3-4 dog championships


I have an artist working on a very unique t-shirt for the race this year. Wicked design on the front and sponsors/ vendors websites on the back. When the design is complete I will try and put it on the site. I was planning on having 2010 championship on it but with the weather here in Southern Ontario I might just get stuck with em if there's no snow.

RACE DATE: JAN.30-31, 2010.

Please put me on your schedule- this is a 3 and 4 dog "Siberian Event"

4 mile loop trail-no head on passing. Same trail as last year this is my Kortright trail.

Please send my blog to any sibe racers that maybe interested so they can keep informed.

Nutro back to sponsor Kortright race.




Well, I spoke with our Nutro Rep. Justin Howard and Nutro will be sponsoring our race once again. This will guarantee my $2500 between the Kortright Centre, SHCC fundraising/entries and Nutro. Having the reps at the race gives racers and spectators an opportunity to talk about the products and to get samples. They have always been very generious with prizes as well so a big thank you to Justin.

They have also agreed to help with some promotional $ that I plan to get shirts printed for the race. I will be selling them to the public and to racers that could also generate a profit towards the race. I remember racing at the Trillium Trail Race and buying a shirt from the event knowing that I was there and that competed at that event.

Things are really coming together and I am very pleased that Nutro will be apart of this event once again. Kortright will be supplying lunch for racers and handlers this year for sure. I made it clear to them how important that this is for racers so that they don't have to get in the spectators line, slam their food into them and get ready for the second event in the afternoon. Chilly one day sandwiches another. This has been a very nice benefit in the past.

I will be working on my vendors that have come from year to year especially the Pride gang who have been giving spectators rides every year.

If you have any questions or ideas please email me at dogsleddn@hotmail.com

Kortright Centre-SHCC and ? 2010 dogsled race




Well it's nearly September so I thought I should start thinking about the Kortright Race 2010.

So many things to do. Post the date with sleddogcentral.com-done,contact my race marshall,take a drive out to Kortright and walk my trail.

Oh yeah !!! Make sure I have a Major sponsor to co-sponsor the race with the Kortright Centre.

Lots to do but things will come together. I have many feelers out and I am confident in a contact.

Anyways, I wanted you to know I am getting ready. You get your dogs ready and I'll get the race together for 2010. The best Kortright Race ever....and last year was an incredible race.
18 teams of siberians in the 4 dog class and 10 teams in the 3 dog class.
That trail is a keeper-lots of fun and excitment for racers and dogs.
Great to see the Western Ontario members out, our friends from Ottawa and of course our friends from Central Ontario-oh yeah our Southern Ontario Racers as well.
Our BC friend is hit and miss-missed him last year (ALMOST MADE IT).
