PINKHAM NOTCH — Running his way through the drizzle and fog as if he were out for a jog, Joseph Gray, 39 of Colorado Springs, Colo., won the Delta Dental Mt. Washington Road Race easily a seventh time, tying record wins in the 62nd running of the race last Saturday.
Gray finished with a time of 1:00:24, a minute and a half faster than the second-place finisher. Gray is now in a tie for all-time wins with Kim Dobson and Bob Hodge
