Andyman Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 It was a beautiful day and a great start to the race. However we had a serious meltdown over night and 7 teams have scratched to this point. Here is a pic of Bobler at the line. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markusvt Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Labrador City, NL – It is day 4 of Cain’s Quest Snowmobile Endurance Race and 12 teams have checked in to Kuujjuaq (Checkpoint #11) for their 16 hour layover. It was a good day for most teams today with only 1 team scratching this morning at Wedge Hills (Checkpoint #10) Edward Watkins and Simeon Berthe from Kuujjuaq ran into some bad luck this morning with a blown motor and could not continue. This year for the first time, Cain’s Quest has cash prizes on the mandatory checkpoints for the first three teams into those checkpoints. So far the teams that placed in the money include: Goose Bay, Checkpoint #4 (Prize Purse – $3000) 1st – Team #22 (Gardner/Milley) at an unofficial time of 03:04 ($1800) 2nd – Team #44 (Jones/Lemieux) at an unofficial time of 03:06 ($900) 3rd – Team #25 (AuCoin/Girard) at an unofficial time of 03:21 ($300) Nain, Checkpoint #9 (Prize Purse – $5000) 1st – Team #29 (Nui/Nui) at an unofficial time of 02:22 ($3000) 2nd – Team #25 (AuCoin/Girard) at an unofficial time of 02:28 ($1500) 3rd – Team # 22 (Gardner/Milley) at an unofficial time of 03:04 ($500) Kuujjuaq, Checkpoint # 11 (Prize Purse – ($7000) 1st – Team # 25 (AuCoin/Girard) at an unofficial time of 12:16 ($4200) 2nd – Team #22 (Gardner/Milley) at an unofficial time of 12:29 ($2100) 3rd – Team # 31 (Lessard/Hall) at an unofficial time of 12:46 ($700) All official times will be confirmed prior to March 24th Awards Ceremony. Following the Cain’s Quest tracking system it was apparent that at various times Spot Units were not transmitting. After reviewing the tracking patterns and discussing questionable interruptions along the route, the Cain’s Quest Race Marshall has issued Teams 22 (Gardner/Milley) and 25 (AuCoin/Girard) a time penalty of 45 minutes each for breaches of rule 4.4 section 15 “Any attempts to disconnect these locators or obstruct the signal will result in a penalty or disqualification”.
