Mountain West Racing is the new name for the Rocky Mountain Circuit. With great help from Norris and Layne Brown of Bondurant, the February 12-13 date was rescheduled for a new course put in on their property just off Hwy 191 in ‘downtown’ Bondurant (population 100). While Washington, Idaho and Montana have lost the majority of their snow, Wyoming still is looking good for snow depth in many areas. MWR organizers began seriously searching for new locations with adequate snow so races could be held. That event, and the following weekend scheduled in Haugan, Montana for the Snow Boss SnoCross, both had to be cancelled at the last minute in late January due to lack of snow. The February 12-13 date was originally scheduled for the Northwest SnoCross near Leavenworth, Washington. The scheduling for snocross snowmobile racing events this season has been frustrating for the Mountain West Racing organizers due to the lack of snow in the northern states. The race was sponsored by the Jackson Hole Snowmobile Club, with help from the Pinedale Snow Explorers Snowmobile Club. These were counted as official point races for the Mountain West Racing (MWR) circuit. The Bondurant SnoCross races were held on the Norris and Layne Brown property, across from the Bondurant Elementary School off Hwy 191 between Pinedale and Jackson. Heavy snowfall early on didn’t dampen spirits one bit as men, women and junior racers from all over the Rocky Mountain west competed in the two days of races during the event. With spectacular aerial leaps and the roar of powerful snowmobile engines, beautiful Bondurant was the setting for the latest sanctioned SnoCross snowmobile race in Wyoming over the weekend of February 12-13.
