Event to feature Snocross, Hill Climbs, RaveX Freestyle Show
PRESQUE ISLE, Maine (Nov. 21, 2024) — Officials at X Racing and Spud Speedway have announced plans for a major snowmobile racing event this coming winter. The third annual Snow Bowl is slated for February 26 through March 2 at the Aroostook Center Mall in Maine’s beautiful Aroostook County.
The Snow Bowl is much more than a weekend of racing. The racing portion of the event will feature snocross, hill climbs, a huge Freestyle show, but the week will also include a Groomer Rodeo, a special Friday Night under the Lights gathering at Spud Speedway, and a scenic Guided Ride around the area.
“I am super excited to be part of this amazing event in northern Maine,” X Racing’s Joe Duncan said. “Troy Haney and Jim Gamage have worked hard to make their annual Snow Bowl a big success. They strive to promote the sport as a whole and help draw folks to the area. I really love the entire concept.
“We’re teaming up to grow the sport of snowmobiling as a whole; hence the scenic Guided Ride during the week. The County has been known nationally to have some of the finest trails and scenery in all of North America. We want to deliver some great racing, while also drawing interest to a beautiful area.”
The Aroostook Center Mall features an indoor trampoline park for kids, and makes an ideal facility for Snow Bowl vendors and spectators. Two tracks (snocross and Vintage) will be built using snow from the parking lots. The Hill Climb competition will take place at the Mars Hill Mountain ski area.
Haney and Gamage are Maine natives and share Duncan’s excitement for the Snow Bowl.
“Jim came to me with the idea for the Snow Bowl,” Haney said. “He moved up here from Rockland, and loves to ride our beautiful trails. He wanted to promote the entire region, and we’ll take folks to see some of the sights on our Guided Ride. There will be plenty to see and do during Snow Bowl week.
“This gives us the opportunity to not only promote our race, but the sport and area itself. The big draw up here is our extensive, nationally-renowned trail system. So we want folks to come up, plan a nice ride, and enjoy some great racing. We think if they do, they’ll want to come back year after year.”
Spud Speedway has developed some of the top racers in New England with its door-to-door action. Maine Motorsports Hall of Fame inductees Bob Alexander, Mark Jones, the ‘Flying Frenchman’ Ernie Levesque, and former ARCA National champion Austin Theriault all competed here in their careers.
Much more than just a facility for racing, Spud Speedway also hosts large concerts, a carnival with a midway, and even weddings. With their sprawling 48-acre facility, they can host events on any scale. From small private parties to major corporate gatherings, this is the venue of choice for 2025.
X Racing officials would like to thank our valued marketing partners HK Powersports and Southside Sales for their continued support.
