With less than 150 kilometers to go for the leader of the Cain's Quest snowmobile race the excitement in Northern Labrador must be palpable.

Palpable because teams from Natuashish [160] and Hopedale [168] are in second and third.

Judging by Facebook many have stayed up all night watching the progress of the racers.

It should be all over by mid day to early afternoon.

The finish line has been relocated due to flooding in some parts of Lab City.

No thanks to CBC NL television for the atrocious coverage of the race. Some people are calling for cuts to CBC NL, but that would only cut our nose off to spite our face. You know who will get cut, and it aint the center of the universe down on the Avalon.
