And the winner is...

Ummm now that the first rookie has passed under the arch we can do the tally of the CVIB Iditarod picks contest. We have a three way tie for first place and custodian of that world famous trophy between Tommy Tom, Tom and Amanda. To break this tie, those 3 will make picks for the upcoming Kobuk 440. Pick top 5 spots. 10 points for correct fisrt place, 5 points for correct 2-5 place and 2 points for a pick in the top 5 in the wrong position. The tie-breaker will be the pick for the finishing time of the winner. last year's winner was John Baker with a time of 40 hrs 6 minutes. We don't know who the racers are yet since they have until March 28 to sign up. The race begins April 14th, so the picks will have to be in by that time.
