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.
