COURSE INFO: Jerry Hines & Jim Breazeale leave Kirkland December 15 for final survey, more on 2004 changes when it's over. We're planning 5 ice slalom events, probably starting on Day #1. Just spoke with the ElDorado Hotel in Dawson City, they've confirmed we'll be there while the Yukon Quest is in town (this also means Diamond Tooth Gerties will be open, and the bars in full swing...). REGULATIONS: A draft is at http://www.alcan5000.com/2004regs.html, to be finalized by early January. Changes at this point will be small, but some form of DIY sections will be added (with wording quite similar to an existing major series). FINISH: Thursday February 26 at the Millennium Hotel (former Regal Alaskan). The first night here is included, plus good room rates if you want to stay a few days for Fur Rendezvous or other activities (http://www.furrondy.net/). STILL NEED A VEHICLE? Here are 2 options, sell it in Anchorage or take it home afterward... 1) The 2000 Alcan winner: R Dale Kraushaar is offering his well-prepared 1998 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS, complete with lights, CD changer, and many good rally parts. $8900 delivered at the start (or you can pick it up in Phoenix at your leisure).
