So what happened to "Rarebear" and Furious? They are not listed on the site for being registered.

If you mean 'Furias', it hasn't raced for quite a number of years now, and has been up for sale.

'Rare Bear' is very much registered to race this year, under the new ownership of Rod Lewis (also 'Glacier Girl's owner)

Yeah the owner of the furias didn't seem to me as very interested in racing to win, just show. Actually helped clean it a bit years ago.

Skipping this year because I blew all my money on my trip to Germany last month . It sucks and I keep thinking about it. I'm really going to miss it, but I'll be back next year.
