Snowmachine Racing
In 2007, Todd and his copilot Scott Davis won the Tesoro Iron Dog championship, a 2,000 mile snowmachine race across Alaska. The race traces the path of the Iditarod with an extra several hundred miles to Fairbanks added. Todd first entered the race in 1993, and has been the champion four times. Around 40 teams usually compete in the race, which is the longest snowmachine race in the world. The contest lasts six to seven days and contestants reach speeds as high as 100 mph.News articles:

- Well, don't let this get around..but I think she will be VP Palin soon. I was aware of Todd's roots because I am very active and vocal about Native American (particularly Lakota) Tradition, cultures, and arts. I keep up on their Current Events. Good job on the lens! Good luck at squidoo, you are off to a great start!
