For those who have an interest in REAL snowmobile racing, www.cainsquest.com

This is one tough race.

When checking the 'rael time race tracking' (they are using satelite
trackers) you can switch between map and sat view to see the terrain they
will be travelling over.

For me, I prefer to watch this, not take part !!

Yeah, it's slow. But the story about Team New Hampshire members who are 61
and 69 does give hope. Can you imagine; 1250 miles breaking trail through
the boondocks at 69 years old?

I will mention the concerns to the guy doing the web site.
It seems he is relaoding ALL the graphics every time you go there.
There are also a lot of people hitting the site.
This is the site to the actual map that uses satelite tracking

http://www.maprace.com/course/carte_cain_p2.php

It is a Google map so you can use the map or an satelite image.
It is awesome about Mr Davis. I met him and it was hard to believe his age.
Spry guy full of piss & vinegar.
