[POST RACE REPORT]
Oakwood, ON (March 9, 2020) – Timmins, Ontario was the location for the latest round of the Canadian Snowcross Racing Association (CSRA) on March 7-8, 2020. Karkoulas Sisters Racing loaded up their Ski-Doo 600 RS’s early Friday morning and made the seven-hour trip North, excited to see what this round of racing had in store. Arriving under a veil of sunshine, the girls quickly headed for a track walk. Impressed with many line options and a steep drop start, team KSR completed registration and settled in for a good night rest before a full weekend of competition.
Zoe #502
Zoe had consistent, successful races all weekend long, even having a post moto win opportunity for an interview. True to Zoe’s personality, loving any chance to talk, she was not short on things to say about her race, the track and her sponsors. Overall, for the weekend, she achieved a 3rd place on Saturday in Transition girls, and a 2nd place finish on Sunday. In her mixed class, Transition 1, she was thrilled to have to report to tech both days accomplishing a 4th and 5th respectively in a competitive class of over 15 riders.
Dakota #501
Dakota pulled off similar results that we’ve seen throughout the season on both racing days. On Sunday, after somehow saving a huge bobble off a double and finding her body over the front of the sled, Dakota had to work a little harder to capture the checkered flag in Junior girls, and continue her green streak. Once she had the sled up and running there was no turning back. In fact, she was so “in the zone” she missed the checkered flag and did a victory lap, later meeting up with BAILEY MOTORSPORTS teammate Hailey Belanger who accomplished 2nd place in the same race. In Junior 1 Dakota continued to race hard and skillfully earned a 3rd on Saturday and 4th on Sunday. Congratulations to Dakota for winning the hole shot award, and seventy dollars, in her Junior Girls final Sunday.
Brooklyn #500
Brooklyn lined her 2020 Ski-Doo 600RS in the Pro-Am Women’s class each day intent on continuing her winning streak in the class, and was successful in this endeavor. Starts continue to be an area of challenge for the young rider, with her having to maneuver and power her sled to take the top spot. However, once there, she has been able to pull away a little and ride her preferred lines. Brooklyn was able to sweep all motos giving her plenty of time to thank all the sponsors who have made this dream of hers possible.
Bailey Motorsports
Congratulations to Yannick Boucher #53 for his victory both days in the Pro Snow Bike class, joined on the podium by teammate Ryan Hunt #729 in 3rd Saturday and 5th Sunday.
Up next for the team is a couple weeks off racing to hone in on mastering and perfecting some skills through practice at The Compound – Muskoka. After that, the team will travel to Kitchener, Ontario to put the sleds to the test on the ski hills.
