Who got me into snowmobiles?
My Dad, Patrick Siler. We never raced snowmobiles but he bought a 1978 TX 340 identical to what his dad had my grandpa John H Siler and I rode that sled until there were no cleats left on the track. “Wish I would have bought that sled.” Fast forward 15 years my brother In-law Rory Brower and I pulled 2 sleds out of a barn from my grandpa Harv Bekins. 1969 Johnson wide track and a 1972 Yamaha Sl 292. My cousin Nick Siler said “you have one of the fastest production single cylinder sleds of the era you should come race the TC250.” And that is how Brothers racing started that has since turned into Siler Racing. My brother in-law Rory Brower and I wrenched daily to make a bullet proof sled for the TC250. To this day we are the only team to finish 4 races consecutively, top ten all four races.
With out my Uncle Mike Siler aka the king of Polaris sleds we would have never qualified for the race. My Uncle Mike walked over and handed me a set of 10” competition carbides and said “put these on your skis, but I need them back after qualifying.” We did exactly that with drilling new holes in the skis and that sled handled like it was on rails! No matter how much I begged to keep the carbides my Uncle Mike was set in stone on his word. We ended up buying 3 different sets of carbides and tested them. The day before the race we put the sled through the pond in a soft spot and it was 6ft under water. We had one choice to make get the sled out, dry it out, and drive 3 hours to the race In the morning. Zero hours of sleep, 6 monsters later we raced and finished 6th in our first ever race let alone an “enduro.” Little did we know we entered the gauntlet and thought this was snowmobile racing. We then learned about fair races and found Bevra.
My brother in-law Rory Brower and I won every single cylinder class in the state while hauling the sled in the back of a truck… that’s when we met Ryan Wolfe and Ron Wolfe. We as a team decided to join together and race under the name Wolfe Motorsports. I raced their 440 Fanner in every class possible and learned along the way. Again won every class possible in the state of Michigan except for MIRA. I won 2 championships at Bevra, won the Bevra cup in 2021 and won at Eagle River in 2021 in the liquid class with a Fanner. I then bought the war ridden sled from Ron Wolfe and started Siler Racing. Now the one bucket yet to be filled was MIRA. I Put my nose to the grind stone and won the championship 2 years in a row. If it wasn’t for everyone that has been there for me along the way I wouldn’t be where I am now. Thank you Ron Wolfe, Steve Kirklin, Randy Hazard, Rob Brownlee, Eric Cope. Jason Bridget, Todd Krikkie, Zach and Troy Dewald, Ryan Wolfe, Annette Fleis and of course my beautiful bride Kaylee Siler.
I am now focused on being a top enduro driver and my goals are winning the I-500 and a MIRA enduro championship. My only goal as a team owner of Siler Racing is watching my daughter absolutely destroy grown men in the vintage 440 class this year at Mira.
My goals as a team owner.
Continuing to progress the youth of this sport as they are the future. Khloe has the reigns now as she will be racing the 440 not in the Junior classes. •

Who got me into racing?
My Dad, Chad Siler, I grew up watching my dad race and wanted to race like he did. My first race was on a 120 mod sled that Nick Siler built, I was 9 and from that point on I was hooked! I took a year off until I was able to race the Enticer 250. I love that sled but it’s now slow to me… when my dad let me race his 440 I was scared but confident that I knew how to handle the sled. It’s fast and I am excited that the sled is mine now. I have always looked up to Haven Bouverette and have wanted to achieve her level of success in this sport “she’s a bad ass!” And she has helped me a lot with giving advice at the races. I have raced for multiple teams and am so grateful for the opportunity, Mark Haven, and Tucker Haven I raced their 250 at eagle river, Jason Bridget with JB performance I have raced his 340 and Arron Giles who has made sure his F440 is ready every weekend for me. I can not thank all of these people enough, you have trusted me to race your sleds and even unfortunately crash them…. Thank you!
My goals as a driver.
Be as fast as my Dad! I get to race Silers Racing Polaris TXC440 in the adult classes this year as my dad is focusing on enduro racing. I knew the time would come I just didn’t think it would be this soon.
I am nervous but excited for the opportunity! I am going to try and keep the Fanner on the podium this year!
Lastly thank you for everyone that has helped me. Nick Siler, Arron Giles, Dustin Fierek, Mark Haven, Tucker Haven, Haven Bouverette, my Uncle Rory Brower, Ryan Wolfe, Ron Wolfe, Rob Brownlee, Eric Cope, Jason Bridget, Jarron Bridget. My Mom and Dad Kaylee and Chad Siler and last but not least Funcle Chris Reames!
Biggest achievements.
Winning multiple season championships in the youth classes. From Bevra, to Mira , to Raber Bay I have won championships.
The biggest win weekend I had was at Raber Bay I won $490 through class wins. No it wasn’t a championship but the $490 was awesome! The memorable championship wins would be the 7 from Bevra and the 2 from Mira. I am really looking forward to the 2026 season as I am advancing from the youth classes and entering the adult division. •
