Our club is proud to announce that we had members on two of the top three finishing teams in this years prestigious Cain's Quest Snowmobile Race. Cain's Quest is Canada's longest endurance snowmobile race at approximately 1600 cross country miles through Quebec and Labrador. 47 two man teams participated in this years event and the winning pair included fellow Cochnewagan Trailblazer Dr. Richard Knipping. Dr. Knipping's team (Team #22 Maine Racing) finished 2 minutes ahead of the second place team. That was after 102.5 hours of riding, during which they only had 16 hrs of sleep. The team used approximately $6,000 in fuel during the race.
Placing 3rd just 14 minutes behind the 2nd place team and approximately 1 hour and 49 minutes ahead of the next closest team was Team Grip-N-Rip Racing which included fellow Cochnewagan Trailblazer Tim Lassard. Tim was part of the team that won the 2009 Cain's Quest Race.
Congratulations to both riders, you made the Cochnewagan Trailblazers proud!
