YQ 300 2016
The 300 starts six hours after the Quest to separate the two races, but the fastest 300 teams, like Aliy, will often pass the slowest Quest teams.
Out of Fairbanks this was the start order, but with a 3 minute separation between teams Aliy is going to spend more than an extra hour at the mandatory stop at at Central.
