I enjoyed this author's article and agree with everything he has brought up.  Question for us:  "Is this Race about the vitality and effort of the dog team  "together as a whole team" making it to Nome.... or is it a Race about a Human that now hauls part of the dog team in the sled to cross the finish line and win $$$ and a Truck at the fastest speed?
Personally I do not like the direction the Race Officials are allowing.
Shall the original intentions and guidelines of the Race be followed?
