The West Yellowstone round of the WPSA National Tour was all about the weather.

The area has enjoyed above average amounts of snowfall and on this weekend, the snow continued to fall, with accumulations of 12 inches over Saturday and Sunday. It snowed so heavily on Sunday that racing had to be stopped part way through the program and continued on Monday morning.

Sunday morning’s first race was the Pro Stock final and BMRT riders Kaufman and Turcotte rode hard in the poor visibility to 8th and 13th positions.

The poor visibility caused havoc in pro open qualifying, with the riders not being able to see the bumps on the challenging course, many found themselves un-expectantly upside down. Race officials wisely post-phoned Sunday’s racing until Monday morning.

Clear skies greeted the racers Monday morning, but it was also very cold, which caused heavy snow dust conditions. The visibility was still extremely poor but with racers and officials eager to leave West Yellowstone with the races complete and the x-games competitors wanting to get to Aspen to prepare the races went on.

Tucker Hibbert added the Pro Open win to his Pro Stock victory from Sunday. BMRT riders Kaufman, Morgan and Turcotte finished up 9th, 10th and 11th.

All the x-games racers quickly packed up and a caravan of Featherlite transporters headed south for Aspen, where BMRT expects big things from its four qualified riders!
