A legend on the sled, Iron Dog Hall of Famer Mark Carr died last week at the age of 63.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska -
When he strapped on the helmet, Carr was a fierce competitor, winning the Iron Dog — known as “the world’s toughest snowmachine race” — four times, including an unprecedented three-peat with Scott Davis from 1997-99.“Total domination,” Micah Huss, a longtime friend, and fellow Iron Dog competitor added. “Every time he got on the course, you were pretty much racing for second place. He’s a true champion, he is a legend.
”There was a sense of honor about him,” Huss said of Carr. “I feel that Mark’s impact on this state left us with all wanting to be more like him on the racetrack and off. They broke the mold with him, man, he exemplified greatness. That was mark, he was a great person.”“I think Iron Dog nation lost a chartered member,” Iron Dog Executive Director Mike Vasser said.”I think his contribution to the sport of snowmobiling and the Iron Dog is top shelf.
