The second day of stages at Sno*Drift brought about some interesting and unfortunate events. By mid day, fans were fairly confident that Travis Pastrana was going to take the overall win. He was enjoying a over a minute full lead with only a few stages left.

Then, in fitting fashion, some “hostile snowmobilers” with a bonfire refused to leave where they had staked out. The stage was called off and the sheriff was called. Hundreds of pissed off fans, who had hiked over a mile in and stood in the cold for two hours, echoed boos and threatened to chase after the snowmobilers. This marks the second time, in as many years, that snowmobilers have interfered and caused a stage to be canceled.

Going into the second to last stage, Travis Pastrana’s STI met up with a deer. Thus requiring him to have to retire from the race.
