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.
