Hundreds of trailers could be found in the pits at Spirit Mountain, the site for the Amsoil Snocross National presented by Kwik Trip. The BAILEY MOTORSPORTS team, which races in the Canadian Snowcross Racing Association (CSRA) series, used this opportunity to find some snow early in the season and get the sleds dialed in before the start of the CSRA circuit which kicks off on December 16 in Bracebridge, Ontario.

This year marked the second consecutive year that KSR rider, Brooklyn #500, joined the Bailey Motorsports team and made the trip for the esteemed ISOC season opener. After a long off-season, Brooklyn was fortunate to have several practice days to become reacquainted with her 2018 Ski-Doo RS before competing in the event. Each practice lap saw the young rider gaining comfort and speed to prepare her for the weekend.

On Friday, Brooklyn kicked off her race season going 2-2 in her qualifiers, landing her on the podium with a second place finish in the Junior Girls final. The excitement of the podium and interview had the young rider at a loss for words but she was able to take the opportunity to thank some important sponsors and supporters.

Saturday had the rider racing multiple qualifiers in the mixed classes, Transition 9-13 and Junior 10-13, making it straight into the main event in the Transition class after an impressive qualifier win. During this race, Brooklyn lead from start to finish which supported the Laps for Muscular Dystrophy program.

Brooklyn had to race the LCQ for Junior 10-13 but had no problems making it into the final. The Junior was the first final up and saw Brooklyn getting faster and faster each lap earning a sixth place finish from back row! With pure excitement Brooklyn pulled up to the line after a quick clutch change for the Transition final but unfortunately got tangled in an unavoidable mishap in the first corner which put her out of the race. When asked about the overall experience, Brooklyn said, “it felt great to be back on the race track again and I’m super pumped for the start of the CSRA series back at home.”

KSR would like to give a huge congratulations to Bailey Motorsports Snow Bike rider, Yanick Boucher #53, whose skill and manipulation of his Yeti Snow bike lap after lap saw the rider have top finishes in qualifiers and earned a second place podium on Sunday in the final. Well-earned Yanick!

Bailey Motorsports’ Pro rider Ryan Hunt #729 gave a sneak peek on Saturday of what can be expected this season, demonstrating his speed, soaring and ability to ride with the best.
