[POST RACE RECAP]
Oakwood, ON (March 7, 2022) – Karkoulas Sisters Racing (KSR) travelled North to Sudbury, Ontario for what was expected to be rounds 8 and 9 of competitive snowcross racing. Unfortunately, inclement weather warnings for Sunday cut the weekend short. Given weather predictions for high rainfall with anticipated negative impacts to the track, race officials cancelled Sunday giving the team a long, full race day for Saturday only. Making the best of the day they had, all KSR team members found themselves achieving podium finishes.
Brooklyn #500
Brooklyn described the track as “different than most tracks we have raced on.” She really enjoyed how it was longer with different features such as a split lane portion. After achieving hole shots for both motos of Pro Woman, Brooklyn was able to secure some solid moto finishes and achieved a third-place podium for the day. Brooklyn expressed disappointment in the cancellation of races Sunday stating, “I wish I had more time on this track to try some new things and see what we could have accomplished, but I am grateful that CSRA made the necessary call to keep all of the race teams safe.” She is looking forward to a quick turn around back to Timmins this weekend!
Dakota #501
Feeling good after practice on Saturday, Dakota unfortunately took a hard hit in her first race (Junior 14-17), which left her quite sore and put her on edge for the rest of the day. Pro women Moto 1 was a battle, falling off the track twice, coming to a complete stop per the rules, and starting from the back of the pack. Pushing herself in that race, she was able to work her way back up to 2nd. Second heats of each class were postponed until after the Pro Show so teams were racing in near dark making it slightly more challenging. Overall ended the day with overall 2nd in Junior 14-17 and 1st in Pro Women.
Zoe #502
Zoe loved the track and was very excited to be racing on it. She had two great heats in Transition Girls class going 1-1, achieving a first place over all! Solid heats for Transition 2 going 5-4 saw her front row for the final. Unfortunately, at the first corner Zoe tipped her sled and had difficulties getting the sled back up. Once she was up and going, other racers were about a lap ahead, but she was undeterred and able to make up some time to finish 10th.
The team would like to extend a special thank you to Pit Boss Doug and Cathy for all of their efforts and support to keep the team fed and encouraged.
