Chris Brooks

Chris Brooks averaged 106 mph to win the 45th Alcan 200 Saturday, becoming the first resident to win the title in 23 years.

Former Chilkat Snowburners president Dennis Miles won in 1991 with an average speed of 85 mph.

“It’s great for Chris to bring the trophy home this year,” said race director Zack Ferrin, who said the event came off “without a hitch.” Fifteen of 24 riders who started the race finished.
