The Aarons/L5Flyers Junior Racing Team (affectionately known as “The Cutters”), recorded a fist full of firsts at the 9.5 mile Tundra Time Trial at the Silver Comet Trail February 18, 2006.

First time trial for four of the juniors;
First junior overall, Joey Rosskopf, racing age 17; Second 15 year old, fifth junior overall, Ben Waldon (Ben was at a slight disadvantage because it was raining when it came to his turn to start);
