Tesoro Iron Dog 2008 Videos

Here are a couple of videos from the morning of February 10, 2008. We are watching the guys and hoping for the best for Team 21 and 23. Team 21 is having mechanical problems but Team 23 is running good!

Enjoy these videos now.

Team 23 - Niver/Whitstine

Mark called to give me the URL to their website. Visit Mark, Jeff and their families at their own website, Team 23.

This is the snowmachine that they will be racing - Yamaha Nytro RTX.

4-Stroke Team 23

I am sponsoring a four-stroke team racing in the 2008 Tesoro Iron Dog too! Meet Team 23. Jeff Whitstine replaces Ron Zugg. Jeff ran his last races in 97 and 99 and completed both times. Mark and Jeff will be riding Yamaha Nytro's.

Both teams Doug's Synthetic Lubricants will be sponsoring are leaving nearly at the same time! Team 21 got 11th position at the Start Line and right after them will be Mark Niver and Jeff Whitstine in 12th. Mark and Jeff are two guys I've known from my job on the North Slope.

Mark and Jeff will be using AMSOIL's Formula 4-Stroke® PowerSports
0W-40 Synthetic Motor Oil

and also AMSOIL's Synthetic Water Resistant Lithium Complex Grease.

The Iron Dog's Starting line on Sunday February 10th is coming fast and I am stoked for watching how well these guys will be doing on the trail.

Good luck guys!

Tesoro Iron Dog 2008

Here are some pictures from the 2008 Iron Dog Safety Festival that happened on Saturday in Wasilla, Alaska. All the guys that will be racing in the Iron Dog were there with their machines for a safety check.

I set up a table and displayed some AMSOIL products. Last year and this year I sold the most Sno-go toys - more than anything else! Sold out actually! (You know those kids got a lot of clout with Dad and Mom.) The picture below shows Kaylynn working on her toy snow machine. This little toy comes with a few tools to take off the skiis and then put them on again. She was busy for hours! Good job Kaylynn.

I am sponsoring a snowmachine team this year! Team 21, Randy and Dave, two guys from Big Lake where we live, thats how my wife and I decided to sponsor them. Read more about them at the Iron Dog website. We are expecting to see excellent and fast riding guys!

I am sponsoring them with AMSOIL's Dominator Synthetic 2-Cycle Racing Oil for both of their machines. They will be racing 1,971 miles from Big Lake to Nome then back down to Fairbanks!

Go to my AMSOIL Dealer Site: Doug's Synthetic Lubricants to purchase AMSOIL products. If you become a Preferred Customer you can purchase at wholesale prices. You can also Contact me via email for more information.

I am looking forward to the beginning of the race on Sunday and anticipating a great race from Dave and Randy too.
