[POST RACE UPDATE]

Teammates Demonstrate Perseverance and Positivity to Bring Home Top Finishes

Oakwood, ON (March 29, 2017) – Karkoulas Sisters Racing (KSR) donned their rain coats and geared up for a great weekend of racing in the rain at Chicopee Ski Resort in Kitchener, ON. This past weekend marked the second last race of the Canadian Snowcross Racing Association (CSRA) championship, with finals scheduled for next weekend at Horseshoe Valley Resort in Barrie.

ZOE #502

Despite a very small, relatively flat 120 track, Zoe was all smiles racing in the Stock 2 and Briggs 6-8 races. Mom and Dad were especially proud of Zoe’s quick maneuvering around a 180 degree turn at the start of the track that saw multiple riders in many races tangled and at a standstill.

DAKOTA #501

Dakota demonstrated solid racing in the Transition mixed, Novice A and Transition Girls classes and continues to amaze her friends and family with her ability to adjust and persevere. With this particular track, there was a blind spot behind the trees that blocked riders from view. Dakota was missing for a short time during a race leaving her teammates wondering what occurred. After the checkered flag flew, Dakota got off her sled with a big smile on her face. When asked why she had disappeared, she explained that she fell off and her sled started rolling down a hill. When asked what she did, she nonchalantly stated, “I ran after it and it rolled back over”. The team was so proud that she was able to get her sled started, back on the track, and finish the race.

BROOKLYN #500

Brooklyn was her usual determined self this weekend. The rain and soggy weather did nothing to dampen her drive for the checkered flag. While this was not her favorite track, she rose to the challenge of a technical track with many top five motos and solid finals. She took the win overall in the Transition Girls class on Sunday which was a great boost to her confidence.

Brooklyn’s highlight of the weekend was having the opportunity to race in the Junior Girls 14-17 class in the afternoon program. With a packed morning race schedule consisting of Novice B, Transition mixed, and Transition Girls, adding Junior Girls was difficult for racers. However, as soon as Brooklyn heard Junior Girls was running Sunday afternoon, she gave her dad “the look” and it wasn’t long before she was signed up. That race was certainly an experience! Brooklyn raced hard and fast all the way to the podium with a third place finish and was included in the podium awards at the end of the day.
