KSR Racers Enjoy a Successful Weekend Despite Challenging Conditions
Oakwood, ON (March 24, 2021) – This past Sunday marked the third and fourth rounds of the CSRA Regional Snowcross championship races in Lindsay, Ontario. Initial icy conditions led to rider and team trepidations in hitting the track. However, event organizers were able to take team concerns into consideration which led to postponement of the first race for an hour in order to provide some time for the sun to shine, resulting in warmer temperatures. This allowed for the ice on the track to break up a bit, and for KSR to then make the final decision to go racing.
And race they did! In what turned out to be a successful track challenging KSR racers Dakota and Zoe, they were able to adjust their riding style and conquer what was described by Dad as a “late 90’s style snowcross track”. It was unlike any track they have previously raced on.
Zoe #502
Zoe raced hard and fast with changing track conditions, saying she “needed wipers on her helmet” for wet roost aimed her way as she was charging and making efforts to pass other riders. Zoe ended up with 2nd overall in transition girls R1 and R2 for the day. In Transition 2 (11-13), Zoe was able to achieve 8th in R1 from backrow and 6th in R2.
Dakota #501
Dakota was excited to race regardless of the track conditions! She was exceptionally pleased after coming off the track after her first junior girls race of the day stating “it was like a whole new track” after the one hour start delay. She was happy to model her new Fly Racing jersey (which happens to include her favorite colour purple) and could be seen posing for the camera in the pits to show her enthusiasm for the gear. Dakota came away with the wins in R1 and R2 of Junior girls and battled very hard in the Junior 14-17 class achieving top spot R1 and second in R2. With no large jumps or doubles which traditionally tends to separate the field a bit, Dakota had to summon all her strength and endurance in order to stay top 3 in the Junior class.
Karkoulas Sisters Racing is looking forward to the next race on Easter Weekend (April 2-4th), at Horseshoe Resort, in Barrie, ON.
