California's David Wagner to Tackle 2020 Iron Dog! World's Longest & Toughest Snowmobile Race!
Posted by: thepinetree on 08/21/2019 08:39 AM
Arnold, CA...On Sunday we had the pleasure to sit down with local snowmobiler David Wagner. He has been a fixture in the local snowmobile community for years. In February of 2020 he and a teammate will see if they can be the fastest to cover the Iron Dog's 2,409 miles. Actually those in Alaska are literally betting that anyone from the lower 48 and especially California isn't even tough enough to finish let alone win the Iron Dog. Wagner may be from California but one of the secrets in the snowmobile community is that some of the best, advanced terrain is in Northern California including the Ebbetts Pass Area. So while extended periods of extreme cold may be new to David, steep trails and deep snow will be a piece of cake.
