 | | With his wife, Mary Ann, Jim created Prairie Bilt Sleds in 2000, translating a lifetime of experience with motorcycle and car racing into the equally fast-paced world of dog sledding. |
 | | When the approximately 80 mushers hit the trail in the biggest of dog sled races, the Iditarod, in Alaska Saturday, 25 to 30 Prairie Bilt sleds will be in the race, up from just two five years ago. |
 | | They're hoping a Prairie Bilt will be the first to cross the finish line in the 1,150-mile race, which takes more than a week to complete in often grueling conditions. |
