From today's ADN letters to the editor:

Move Iron Dog to Arizona to please people who can't handle Alaska

What is this? Alaska's Iron Dog race is canceled due to mild winter
conditions that may cause "safety concerns for the racers"?

This, after the race board of directors voted to increase the snowmachine
engine limit to 1000 cc, thus allowing machines that travel at 130 mph.

This, after 19 years of running this rugged, uniquely Alaskan event where
rookies and veterans willingly accept the inherent challenges in the world's
longest snowmachine race.

This, just two weeks before the start of this internationally known event
that helps put Alaska on the map.

This decision was made by those who say they're now worried about injuries,
possible environmental damage and potential lawsuits resulting from
less-than-perfect winter conditions along the demanding route.

This is Alaska, and this is the Iron Dog! It's not supposed to be easy, and
conditions aren't supposed to be perfect! If organizers are looking for a
perfect trail, then let's move the thing to a pretty, groomed trail in a
state like Arizona where more bureaucratic, politically correct, cautionary
rules and regulations will create the risk-free environment some are
evidently seeking.

Just when you think you've seen it all, Alaska's Iron Dog gets canceled
because it's concluded it's now too challenging, even for the experienced
racers who are willing and raring to go.

I wonder if bothers wearing a seatbelt? Maybe I should hope that she
doesn't, for everyone's sake.
