NWSDA Dryland Challenge & PNC Championship

We just returned from our trip to Washington to attend NWSDA's Dryland Challenge at "Camp K".
As always, we had a great time catching up with old friends, making new ones and participating in the races. "Team Arctis" only placed 6th in our class, but all other teams ahead of us were genuine racing teams, as opposed to our "working pet Siberians", so overall, we didn't do too bad.
Plus, we won the award for "Best Kept Small Team", yay!


We had a few carts on hand and several teams ran them in the 6-mid and 6-sprint classes.





Coming up October 23 & 24, it's the first race for the Pacific Northwest Championship (PNC). Just like last weekend, this race is a dryland event and will be held at Camp K in Cle Elum WA.
For race information, please click here.
While we won't be there this time, a couple of our carts are going to be on site and one of them (the red one shown in the pictures) will be available to test and for purchase.
Please contact us if you have any questions in regards to our carts.

Coming up November 12th -14th, the annual La Pine mushing weekend in La Pine, OR.
We're going to attend this fun event once again and will bring carts with us.
As always, while on the road, we'll be happy to deliver a cart free of charge along the way, so if you're interested and live anywhere between southern CA and central OR, please contact us, and we'll make arrangements.

The North Wapiti experience

We just returned from a spectacular trip that took us from southern California all the way up to northern Alberta, Canada, to visit Karen Ramstead and her North Wapiti kennel of Siberian Huskies, aka the "Pretty Sled Dogs".
We spent several days with Karen's team, be it at the kennel or out on the trails and were also able to run the cart with her dogs, have Karen run it, and even put our little clown Silver on a team with 5 North Wapiti dogs. He initially seemed a bit intimidated, but after the run pranced around his girls like a hot shot, showing off.






The cart ride with 6 Siberians through the wooded, rutted and rooted trails was a pure blast, not only for us, but even Karen had a great time as she posted on facebook:




The red cart shown here is available and ready to go without waiting period:




If you're interested, please contact us with your location, and we'll provide a shipping quote.
Local pick-up and delivery as also available, of course, and if you are located in Oregon or Washington, please contact us for details about our upcoming road trips, so we can possibly deliver the cart in person.

On our way back, we took the scenic route through Jasper, Banff, Kootenay, Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. What beautiful places to see and experience. We can't wait to get back on the road again, soon, but in the meantime, we need to get some carts done.

Big Sky Roadtrip

Finally!
We're all done, almost packed and one good night's sleep away from our "Big Sky Roadtrip" to Karen Ramstead's North Wapiti Kennel in Alberta, Canada.
It's been a long, long week, with several carts finding their way to new homes here in southern CA and two more on their way to the wide open spaces of central Alberta.
Our trip north will take us along I-15 from southern CA to the Montana/Alberta border and then past Edmonton to Perryvale, AB.
One of the carts will be delivered along the way and the other will be tried and tested at Karen's ranch and may possibly find a new home in the area.
If things go as planned, the trip back will take a little longer to explore some of spectacular scenery along the way.
We'll post updates on our facebook page.
If you are interested in one of our carts, feel free to contact us. We'll do our best to keep in touch along the way.

Reflectra Candy Purple Twilight

Yes, that's what the color is called which our latest customer chose for her cart.
Our friends at Embee Performance outdid themselves with this one.
Outstanding job once again, turning a steel frame into a piece of art.


Our fall travel schedule is filling up.
We're going to make the long trek up north to visit the "Pretty Sled Dogs" of Karen Ramstead's North Wapiti Kennel in Alberta, Canada from September 10th - 12th.

In October, we're going to attend NWSDA's opening race of the season in Cle Elum, WA. This is going to be the weekend of October 9th - 10th.

And in November it's an annual tradition to attend Karen Yeargain's La Pine Mushing Weekend on Veteran's Day, November 12th - 14th.

As always, we can deliver a cart in person if you're located anywhere along the way, which in these cases is mostly I-15, I-5 and US-97.

Just make sure you place your order early enough for us to have it finished in time for the trip.

Any questions? Contact us for details.
