First Dude Places 6th in Iron Dog

Todd Palin and his teammate finished 6th in the Tesoro Iron Dog, a 2000 mile snowmobile race through the heart of Alaska. He didn't win, but consolation prize is still pretty good..... he knows he'll be sleepin with the Cuda tonight! The guy drives an Arctic Cat...how could you not cheer for that?

Hilary Clinton ...Foot in Mouth #761

Hold onto your seats because I have some shocking news! Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has put her foot in her mouth and said something she regrets. Shocking, I know.
Hillary mentioned to a local rag in South Dakota that having the campaign go into June would be okay as both her husband's and Robert Kennedy's campaign went into June. That would be the same Robert Kennedy who was assassinated and the DNC in 1968. The web is buzzing, as are the MSM talking heads, over the hidden message that she is sticking around incase Obama (PBUH) gets whacked.

This rare lapse in judgment has Clinton stating she's not worried about the nomination for the Democrats because of the threat of an Assassination attempt on alleged front-runner Barack Obama. So yes, she's staying in the race because she believes her chance of winning rests on a crazy persons bullet. Or knife. Or poison. There's really so many choices.

Bikers Classics Returns to Spa, Belgium

If you want a hard core trip down racing nostalgic pit lane then the legendary race Belgium race circuit of Spa Francorchamps is the place to be over the long weekend of June 29-July 1 for the fifth running of Bikers Classics.
This year, the cast is headed by 15 times World Champion Giacomo Agostini, along with American Steve Baker. "King" Kenny the elder (if can make it from MotoGP) at Assen and a host of British and European stars.

But the best part of the weekend for me, and for hundreds of others, is that you can ride the track on a classic bike - race or road - in very relaxed track sessions. This means that you will see literally hundreds of superb - and not so superb - classic race and road machines hammering round a full blown GP circuit with all the joie de vivre of true enthusiasts. And, being Belgium, none of the track sessions is speed controlled so you can see some really committed riding.

28,000 take part in 20 km race in Brussels

Normally, only 25,000 can take part but organisers allowed extra participants as many were running for a good cause. Some participated only to guide blind athletes or athletes with a poor view.
