Word reached me via cell phone in St. Germain that none other than Strathcona Minnesota’s own NATHAN WESTLUND won this years Hetteen cup in Sauk Centre Minnesota last weekend. Nathan runs a mod Polaris 340, a stock Polaris 340, a 250 Z, and a 292 Yamaha. Nathan joins past winners Jim Dimmerman, Brad Hulings, Larry Rugland, Doug Hayes and Mike Meahger, among others.
Joining Nathan in the celebration was Jeff Karrow (Ski-Doo) who won the Roger Ebert Memorial award for sportsmanship. Jeff had a rough weekend last weekend, being involved in 2 really tough crashes. This past weekend, I’m told mechanical problems plagued his fleet of Ski-Doo racers, leaving him to attempt to win the Hetteen cup with the only running sled in the fleet – a 250 RV. Undaunted, Jeff jumped the sled up into every class he’d entered and just kept racing all day.
Congratulations to both!
