Northwest Colorado’s own Wagner family recently competed in the Rocky Mountain Snowmobile Racing event Roost the Butte in Crested Butte in early January.

Tallyn Wagner, 9, placed first in the 500 Fan SnowOval, as well as taking second in the 500 Liquid Snocross for both the age brackets of 8 to 13 and 10 to 16.

“He’s been racing since he was a year-and-a-half old,” said his father, Jay.

Jay’s older son, Steve, 22, took second in the 500 Fan SnowOval, while Jay was second himself in the 500 SnowOval.

The Wagners also recently competed in Deadwood, South Dakota, where Tallyn placed fourth in the second run and eighth in the third, the youngest competitor there. Additionally, at Grand Lake’s Winter Carnival in early February, Steve was fourth in the 500 Liquid event, and Jay took first place in the 800 Liquid.
