RACE HIGHLIGHTS

The Tesoro Iron Dog™ is the longest snowmobile race on the planet. Racers reach speeds in excess of 110 miles per hour as they speed over Alaska’s frozen tundra, enduring wind-chills which plummet down to a bone-chilling 50 below zero! The Iron Dog runs between Wasilla, Nome and Fairbanks! Witness the extreme conditions, tough equipment, and cunning strategy needed to be a winner.
 

This is the first time the entire 2000 mile race has been documented from start to finish. Enjoy first hand interviews with racers and visit their rugged training sites. See the many checkpoints along the course of this treacherous icebound Alaskan race. The Iron Dog is an experience that should not be missed! On this DVD, you’ll get 30 minutes of pure excitement where both rider and machine get pushed to the extreme.
