Mushers Promoting Classic
Expecting the most spectacular
. ace of all time, members of the
Alaska Sled Dog Mushers Associ
ation have come up with a novel
idea for financing as well as pro
moting spectator interest and par
ticipation in this year's North Amer
ican Championships.
Headed by Buck Landru, a group
of association members are selling
Tickets on the All Alaska Sled Dog
Classic. Actually what this classic
boils down to is an Irish Sweep
stake on the championship races
.scheduled for March 15, 16, and 17.
For one dollar a person can pur
chase a numbered ticket and the
stub will be dumped into a pool.
When the starting field has been de
termined. each musher, in the order
of starting position, will draw a
number out of the pool and that
ticket holder will receive a prize
based on his or her team's showing
in the championship derby.
Every ticket drawn will earn a
prize for its holder regardless in
what place the musher and his team
finishes.
The association has adopted the
slogan "Mush A Winner" for the
All-Alaska classic.
Cash taken in by the classic will
be split four ways with 50 per cent
going for prizes for the lucky ticket
holders, 30 per cent to the Mushers
Association out of which must come
the mushers* prizes. 10 per cent for
commissions to ticket sellers, and 10
per cent> f«r promotional expenses.
Already 44 Fairbanks business
houses have bought blocks of 100
classic tickets and many more are
t xpected to follow suit as race time
draws near.
Before many years association of
ficials hope that the All-Alaska Sled
Dog Classic will rival the Nenana
Ice Pool in popularity.
