2012 BOR Series

Note from BOR Series Owner

As a group, we hold events in Wendover and Jackpot Nevada and are working to hold events in Utah.  It takes a lot of patience and determination to work with  the BLM, Landowners, Cities and Counties as well as keep the day job happy.  We do this because we enjoy the outdoors, racing, and camping  and we want others to enjoy these activities as well.  Our friends in government and the extreme environmetalists are working hard to shut us down and keep us out of OUR land.  We support public use of public lands and we also support RESPONSIBLE use.  We only have so much land and it is being taken away every day so please, please stay on course, clean up after yourself, be nice to the BLM (they have been nice to us), put up gates, say hello to land owners and just be responsible citizens.  AND DONATE TO BLUE RIBBON OR USA-ALL or your other favorite land use group.  Thank You BONNEVILLE Off Road.

It takes a lot to put on these events and I would like to thank those that have put in much hard work to make this event and this year’s series happen.  Doug, Tina and Mickey,  Spanky and Jackie,  Clay, Julie, Kylie and Shelby.  Jim and Ruth.  Joe.  Dan.  Tom. And all the checkpoint, course sweepers, time keepers, ect.  I do not have room to mention all of these people.  Some people put in just one day or afternoon and it is appreciated.

Please give us input as to what changes you would like to see for 2012.  And we will see what we can do.  This organization is here for you, about you and put together with your help.

Thank You

Allen Gerber

BOR 2012

Welcome to BOR (Bonneville Off-Road Racing). We are a locally owned and run series for the intermountain west (Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Washington, California, Nevada and Arizona!) We bring racing to the locals by providing a way to volunteer and participate, all at once! Stick around and see what the fun is all about. We have classes for all racers, from Sportsman to Class 1. If it runs in the desert, and can handle a beatin', this is the place for you to bring your toys!
