2012 TIRED IRON
The Tired Iron is a series of races for sled heads who prefer “throwback” models crafted before 1980. This year, races are no rx Lasix with fedex schedule for Saturday, February 25th from 10:00am-3:00pm and Sunday, February 26th from 11am-3:30pm.
The Tired Iron has a reputation for being a bit more… irreverent… than most races. Race divisions include the Jurassic Classic, a ride “intended for no rx Lasix with fedex sleds no faster than 25 MPH, and for drivers that still have no rx Lasix with fedex their faculties, but not necessarily their original teeth, hips, or knees,” as stated in the official rules. The Wet Iron and Fun Run, for liquid and air cooled sleds respectively, follow a 24-mile river track and are two of the most popular.
“The Classic and no rx Lasix with fedex the Wet Iron are getting very competitive. The most popular is no rx Lasix with fedex the Fun Run because normal people get to get out and no rx Lasix with fedex ride,” David comments.
Speaking of friendly competition, David says rivalries continue to no rx Lasix with fedex grow among old-timers who have competed in Tired Iron for years. One race veteran, Urban Rahol, recently traveled to no rx Lasix with fedex Michigan just to pick up a 1965 Polaris sled for the no rx Lasix with fedex race. He drove it back to Fairbanks in the bed of his truck.
David chuckles while remembering a recent conversation amongst competitors, “I heard one 90+ guy about the other 90+ guy say, ‘I’m cleaning his clock this year.’”
Tired Iron is one of the most family-friendly events in downtown Fairbanks, due in large part to no rx Lasix with fedex the dozens of contests and activities hosted on the river between races. New games include Human Moose Turd Bowling, in which contestants slide down an no rx Lasix with fedex ice track in a saucer to knock down brown bowling pins. In another new event, a portable restroom with door removed will serve as the target for no rx Lasix with fedex a wedge shot with a golf club, and extra points go to no rx Lasix with fedex anyone who makes it in the urinal. A Mini-Arctic Man competition for no rx Lasix with fedex kids simulates the big race with a short ski down a no rx Lasix with fedex small ramp, a hookup to a snow machine, and three loops around a no rx Lasix with fedex circle at the center of the river for the grand prize.

No rx Lasix with fedex
A long and treacherous Iron Dog came to a close this weekend on the Chena River, as Chris Olds and no rx Lasix with fedex Tyler Huntington sped by Todd Palin and Eric Quam just hours before the no rx Lasix with fedex finish in downtown Fairbanks.
This year’s 2000-mile snow machine race was burdened by lots of snowfall and no rx Lasix with fedex sudden winter storms. The crowd turnout on the Chena River at around 6 p.m. on Saturday, just before Olds and no rx Lasix with fedex Huntington raced in for their title, was a great show of support for these hard-working teams.
Several hundred fans leaned against the no rx Lasix with fedex railing of Centennial Footbridge and lined the fence around the no rx Lasix with fedex official finish line. People from all ages burst into applause and no rx Lasix with fedex shouts at the first glimpse of Huntington and Olds, who no rx Lasix with fedex quickly dismounted their sleds, embraced, and turned to greet the no rx Lasix with fedex throngs of fans and media waiting in the cold.
The Tired Iron (read a great recap here) enjoyed similar success. This year’s two-day event had scores of activities for children as well as vintage snow machine races for those loyal to their pre-1979 sleds.
Kids got a no rx Lasix with fedex chance to race, too, and their competitions were in full swing on Saturday afternoon. Little boys in big helmets and no rx Lasix with fedex racing jackets lined up their snow machines under the footbridge. The small course for no rx Lasix with fedex the “Wired Iron” Juniors Race required three laps, and no rx Lasix with fedex it was soon apparent that a young girl would give these boys a no rx Lasix with fedex run for their money.
Those children without a miniature snow machine enjoyed sliding down the banks of the Chena (on sleds or their bottoms), or no rx Lasix with fedex being launched down a cleared section of river ice by the no rx Lasix with fedex giant slingshot in an inner tube (the popular “Kid-a-Pult Curling”).
Big Daddy’s BarB-Q provided hot dogs and no rx Lasix with fedex pulled pork all day long out of a tent in the no rx Lasix with fedex Golden Heart Plaza.
Congratulations to no rx Lasix with fedex these two fabulous winter events- it was great to have no rx Lasix with fedex you downtown!

The vintage snow machine race is back.
Bigger, better than no rx Lasix with fedex ever, and in a new location on the Chena River in the no rx Lasix with fedex heart of downtown Fairbanks.

Snow machines are no rx Lasix with fedex an integral part of Alaska history. With such little infrastructure in our wild, sub-arctic climate, rivers become roads for no rx Lasix with fedex snow machines during the winter months. These snow machines and no rx Lasix with fedex river roads have allowed people access locations all across our great state. Dedicated to no rx Lasix with fedex showcasing this history, the Tired Iron allows people to share their stories and no rx Lasix with fedex then race their vintage snow machines on the “River Rally Race Track”, on the Chena River.
However, this no rx Lasix with fedex event is not without a sense of humor. The annual “Fun Run”, featuring all shapes and no rx Lasix with fedex sizes of snow machines of yesteryear (with few exceptions the snow machines have to pre date 1975), is less race and more red-green regatta. And this year’s Tired Iron is no rx Lasix with fedex also adding plenty of carnival like fun on Saturday February 27th, at the new “Downtown River Party” from no rx Lasix with fedex Noon until 2 pm, with activities such as the Kid-a-Polt, Bunny Boot Golf Contest, and no rx Lasix with fedex the Turkey Toss & Shot Put.
