Oakwood, ON (February 3, 2020) – Team KSR brought in the month of February racing in their Hometown of Lindsay, Ontario, for the Canadian Snowcross Racing Association (CSRA) National Series season opener. The Lindsay Exhibition was the location of the FXR Kawartha Cup, which saw the stands full of excited spectators, including many of the team’s family and friends.  

Saturday was an important race day as many of the specialty class races completed before the Pro show and evening program.  Unfortunately, time wasn’t on their side as KSR racers ran out of time to complete the finals, pushing them to Sunday. Despite that though, KSR racers won several qualifiers, and Dakota #501 was able to compete in her second moto of Jr  14-17 and score top spot on the box.  With racing completed the day, the girls joined their friends up in the stands to watch team mate Ryan Hunt #729, of Bailey Motorsports, battle in the Pro class claiming third spot on the podium! Of note, Ryan also raced in the Pro Snow Bike class this same afternoon and claimed second place in that class.  The grit and endurance displayed to not only attempt but succeed in two Pro classes is commendable. 

Brooklyn #500

Sunday was an early start for the team with the drivers meeting at 7:30 am and the green light promptly at 8:00 am.  Brooklyn #500 was the first of the team’s racers to take to the line in the Pro/Am Women class. She was able to set the tone of the morning with a win which she would repeat in that same class later in the morning going 1:1 for Sunday’s program. 

Brooklyn also left her comfort zone and lined up in the Sport 600 class as not only the sole female on the line but one of the youngest racer against a class of high flying men.   She held her own and gained valuable experience. She even found herself qualifying front row for the final on Sunday which is a huge accomplishment, and she rounded out the top ten in the final (awaiting official results). 

Dakota #501

Dakota #501 repeated Brooklyn’s Pro/Am Women results in the Junior Girls class taking the checkered for Saturday’s final and repeating it in Sunday’s motos, finishing 1:1 for the weekend.  In Junior 14-17 she found herself placing first on Saturday, and back on the podium with a combined moto finish of 3rd on Sunday. 

Zoe #502

Zoe #502 battled all weekend long showing she has the determination and competitiveness to move up the snowcross ranks.  Zoe was a rocket off the starting line in Transition girls class and finished up second on Saturday. She is awaiting official results for Sundays final after leading the entire race right to the transponder line with a hard charging teammate Hailey Belanger #574 challenging her the entire moto 2.  It’s great to see them both on the podium 1:2.  In her Transition 1 class, Zoe had strong qualifiers and was able to achieve a 3rd in Saturday’s final and rounded out top 5 on Sunday.  Well done Zoe!

While the team enjoyed a race only 8 minutes from home, they will now spend the next few days getting packed and loaded up to travel to Valcourt, Quebec, for the Ski-Doo Grand Prix, an event that promises to be full of exciting, action packed racing of all sorts.
