I'm sorry to report that none of my winners were actual (speed) winners but speed winners hardly matter in a race in which a few hundredths of a second separate the top spots, and only about a second separates first from last (of more than 400 teams). Creativity is much more rewarding.
I'm happy to report that the repeat winner of the Best Costume was a team from the Netherlands, which I guess makes the event an International Championship. See http://knox.villagesoup.com/news/story/toboggan-nationals-under-way-in-camden/380636 .

Jim, great article! I do however disagree with the placing of the 4 person team Best name contest.
I believe Grandma got run over by more than a reindeer was ultimately the greatest name of the year if not ever. This is just my opinion and felt I needed to share my feelings. Looking forward to reading more of One man's Maine.
