New locations for ISOC Snocross series
Two new venues are on the docket for the 2016-17 Snocross season. Racers will head west of South Dakota’s Black Hills for Rounds 3 and 4, to be held in Winter Park, Colo. (Dec. 16-17). It’s the first time the series will be at the base of the Rockies since the 2010-11 season, when Sandy, Utah, hosted a weekend of racing.
Also new to the schedule this year is Dubuque, Iowa, hosting Rounds 15 and 16 (March 3-4, 2017). This will be the first
ISOC Snocross event hosted by the state of Iowa, and both the state and the series are equally excited.
When asked about the two new venues, ISOC Social Media Coordinator Miranda Hopp said, “The motivation was really because both of the locations are snowmobile markets, and as a series we have always wanted to spread farther out west and further our footprint. So far, both locations have been well received.”
The two new locations replace Route 66 Raceway (just outside of Chicago) and Glyndon, Minn., on the schedule.
New team, new approach
Three is considered a crowd many places, but the race course is not one of those places – at least not for the boys in the Shepherd Racing trailer.
Toby Shepherd, Cody Bahny and Riley Sprunger all met while racing independently in the
RMSHA hillclimb circuit four years ago. They competed against each other in many of the same classes. People who race against one another often end up forming a bond, and that happened for these three guys. The bond they share has manifested itself in the form of a new race team for the 2017 hillclimb season.
