Serving Proudly As The Voice Of Valley County Since 1913

MRM Event Attracts Mud Boggers

The sand drags and mud bogs held at the Valley County Fairgrounds this past weekend drew a respectable number of drivers and spectators.

The Sunday mud bogs was the most popular event, with nearly 300 spectators on hand to watch the competitors try to make their way through several feet of muck and mire.

In addition to local drivers, some of the 20 entrants came from Billings, Plentywood, Raymond, Crane, Great Falls, and as far as Conrad to compete in the races.

Curt Stordahl of Conrad made the trip worth his while, finishing second in the super-modified category with his run, while Glasgow's Bryce Lawrence clinched the first-place win in the same event. Another Glasgow resident, Cody Dix, finished in third place with his run.

Josh Dix earned second place with his run in the modified category.

By the end of the weekend, nearly $5,000 had been paid out to several winners.

Up next for motorsports fans is the demolition derby at the Northeast Montana Fair. The derby will be held at the fairgrounds on Saturday July 30, and will include a “chain and bang” derby and a herby derby. Rules for the event can be found on the Milk River Motorsports Facebook page.
