[POST RACE RECAP]
5 TOP FINISHES FOR KSR RACERS
Oakwood, ON (February 23, 2022) – Family day weekend was packed full of speed, blistering winds and the sounds and smells of sleds competing. This past weekend marked round three of the Canadian Snowcross Racing (CSRA) Championship. For the KSR team, what better way to celebrate the importance of family than a father loading up his three teenage daughters for a three-day race weekend at the track. Nothing promotes togetherness more than a family sleeping in a gooseneck race rig for three nights!
Rolling into Sauble Beach Speedway was met with excitement but also trepidation about track conditions due to rain. CSRA worked tirelessly to put together the best possible track with what they had to work with thanks to rapidly declining snow conditions. Although track conditions saw the afternoon feature classes sitting these rounds out due to safety concerns, KSR was able to compete in the morning programs all three days. KSR racers attacked a challenging track that had rapidly changing conditions throughout the weekend with perseverance and optimism. 
Brooklyn #500
For Brooklyn, the weekend was filled with both highs and lows. The Pro/am women rider started the weekend off pretty rough on Saturday, having a pretty big off and bending both steering posts and an a-arm. It was the fast, competent mechanical skills of dad and mechanics from other teams that were able to get Brooklyn’s Ski-Doo track ready for her second race of the day. With combined moto points, Brooklyn achieved a 4th overall for the day.
Capitalizing off of frustration from the day prior, she was set to go green on Sunday. After two solid motos, taking second in both resulted in a second over all for the day. Monday did not come without challenges. Starts were not where the young rider would have liked them to be seeing her fight her way through the field a bit with a third overall for the day. Brooklyn looks forward to getting some more practice time in during the off weekend and going into Sudbury stronger than ever.
Dakota #501
As if going 1:1 in Junior 14-17 and Pro/Am women both Saturday and Sunday weren’t enough, Dakota jumped at the opportunity to sign up for CSRA’s first “Dominator” of the season. This challenge sees 2 competitors line up for a 1-on-1 battle to the checkered, with the winner advancing and loser eliminated. Eliminated on her third round, the young rider was all smiles being the last female rider standing. Earning a little monetary reward was also a welcomed bonus. Monday saw Dakota clean sweep the weekend in Pro/Am women and second place overall for the day in Jr 14-17.
Zoe #502
Zoe’s weekend didn’t quite go as she had hoped for. The Transition Girls class didn’t run due to low entries leaving the Transition 2 class as the only race she entered for the weekend. Describing the track as “a challenging tight track” saw her down on her luck in the finals finishing 9:7:9 but she had some solid qualifiers. Overall, Zoe left the speedway happy to be able to race the weekend and she is looking forward to Sudbury in 2 weeks!
