Found Audio: Lance Mackey on his snowmobile accident

Josh Rogers — Fri, 02 May 2008 21:25:36 +0000

Right before Lance Mackey’s 2008 All Alaska Sweepstakes 3rd place finish in Nome, Lance was hit by a snow machine. The machine was traveling at a high rate of speed behind Lance. He flashed his lights and yelled at the driver, but says it didn’t seem to matter. Mackey jumped off the sled just before the snowmachine hit the sled from the rear and ran it over.

The day after the accident Lance went on local Nome radio station KNOM and talked about his story.

We know things have improved quite a bit since then, but its still chilling to hear Lance tell this story.

Broadcast of Seavey & Kings AAS arrival into Nome

Josh Rogers — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 11:23:00 +0000

Attached is a recording of the live KICY broadcast. I co-hosted this broadcast with Nate Hobbs, Josh Remer was the mobile unit out at Fort Davis, and General Manager Dennis Weidler was back at the studio running the board.

Mitch arrived at 23:29, King arrived at 23:39

Keep looking for more fun things posted over the next few hours.

Short Video of Mitch Seavey Winning the AAS

Josh Rogers — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 11:10:44 +0000

This quick little clip was taken by Mr. Tom Mute of Nome, AK.

It does a good job of giving you a real feel of the craziness that was happening.

Interview with Dr. Phil

Josh Rogers — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 07:43:28 +0000

In tonight’s podcast we sit down with Dr. Phil Schobert, the Executive Race Director and talk with him about how the race is going so far, when we might expect a first place musher into Nome, and briefly speaks about the first scratch of the race, and I try to get some information about all the confusion that is going on with the starting time differentials.

Right now the race leaders are on their way back from Candle – Lance Mackey was the first musher to arrive into First Chance at 19:56, and according to ham traffic stayed and rested there while King and Seavey were behind resting in Gold Run. King arrived into First Chance at 22:58, and Seavey at 23:40.

I’ll have much more news in the morning, and will have a new podcast posted mid-morning. There should be some interesting developments overnight and word on the street is that there is an airplane coming into Nome that contains a second scratched musher’s dogs, can’t mention who yet…..although nothing has been reported officially, I’m sure we’ll know more soon.

Speaking of scratching, many folks have been wondering about Hugh Neff, and wanting to make sure that he and his dogs were ok. As Dr. Phil says in the podcast, Hugh scratched on his own accord… however rumors are that he had issues with his support team, and it just came across the radio a few minutes ago that Hugh has mushed himself back and is in Council right now awaiting further instruction from the Lead Judge.
