Karkoulas Sisters Race in front of Hometown Crowd

Snowcross Team Brings Home Multiple Top Finishes at Lindsay Fairgrounds

Oakwood, ON (February 23, 2016) – Karkoulas Sisters Racing (KSR) just finished a successful weekend of hometown racing at the Lindsay Exhibition Fairgrounds. The Amsoil Kawartha Cup National Snowcross event marked the third race weekend for KSR, and was the fourth event in the Canadian Snowcross Racing Association 2016 season schedule. 

Supported by family and friends, Brooklyn (11), Dakota (10) and Zoe (9) had a great weekend of fun and competition. They had many top finishes in their motos including a few first place finishes. Track conditions were not ideal, but the team persevered and made the best of the less than favourable weather and track conditions over the weekend. 

ZOE #502

Zoe had a breakout weekend in the Stock 2 class, earning her first-ever first place final in that category.  She had two successful motos on Sunday with first place finishes in both, earning top spot on the podium.  Stock 1 just didn’t seem to get off the line as fast as she would like but she definitely made up time and positions once in the thick of the race.  See below for full weekend results.

DAKOTA #501

Dakota was thrilled to get a podium finish of third place in Transition Girls class on Saturday.  She was particularly happy about some air time she was getting on a certain part of the track, putting her new shocks to the test! Dakota’s goal is to continue to gain confidence and not be intimidated off the line in Novice A, aiming for a quicker hole shot.

BROOKLYN #500

Brooklyn had a very fast weekend pulling off some of her best lap times and finishes in both her classes.  Her highlights of the weekend were her first two races on Sunday.  She started the day with a first place finish in Transition Girls with a little cushion of time.  Next she had her best finish to date in the Transition 10-13 class with a second in moto 1 and some very impressive lap times.  She rode smooth and hard and looked great on the track.

Georgian Downs Race Weekend

[TEAM RELEASE]

Action Packed Weekend for Karkoulas Sisters Racing at Georgian Downs

Oakwood, ON (February 1, 2016) – The Royal Distributing Cup National Snowcross Race at Georgian Downs in Barrie, ON marked the second race weekend for Karkoulas Sisters Racing (KSR) fans, racers and partners.

The windy weather on Saturday morning seemed to blow Zoe (age 6) right off her No. 502 Polaris Indy 120 in a few heats and feature races.  Even after bouncing off and rolling her sled, she impressed fans by quickly flipping her sled back in the upright position. Unfortunately, the tether pulled out so she was unable to re-start her own sled which resulted in her dropping back from top three in one heat.  In the end, she pulled off an impressive third place finish in the final Stock 1 and secured a third place finish in her second heat of Stock 2.  

On Sunday, Zoe’s goal was to stay on her sled and the team is happy to report she achieved this goal.  Zoe finished all her heats and qualifiers in top five positions and was on the podium in both of her classes after securing a fifth place finish in Stock 1 and an impressive second in Stock 2.

Dakota (age 9) continues to get accustomed to riding a full size sled, the No. 501 Ski-Doo MXZ 600 Sport. In her Novice A heats, she easily made front row finals with second to fourth place qualifiers.  The finals saw her placing seventh and eighth.  Saturday marked Dakota’s first podium finish with a third overall in the Transition Girls class.

Brooklyn (age 11) was excited on Saturday to get her second race weekend started. She raced well in all her categories, but the highlight of her day was definitely taking the win in Transition Girls class.  She battled the wet, rough and sloppy track conditions Sunday on her No. 500 Ski-Doo 600RS with a goal of improving her 13th place finish in Transition 10-13.  She placed well in qualifiers, securing her spot on front row of the final and achieved her goal with an 11th place finish.  She slipped to third in Transition Girls but is determined to bounce back.
