[POST RACE UPDATE]
Action Packed Weekend of Snowcross Racing in Timmins
Oakwood, ON (March 15, 2016) – Karkoulas Sisters Racing (KSR) started off the March break in the best possible way, under bright sun with a twenty foot base of soft white powder! This past weekend, the team traveled to Timmins, Ontario, for the Eclipse Financial Snowcross Pro Challenge. The event marked the fifth race weekend of the Canadian Snowcross Racing Association 2016 season schedule. With consistent riding and goals set, the team composed of Brooklyn (11), Dakota (10) and Zoe (9), delivered once again with excellent individual and team results. See below for team results.
ZOE #502
Zoe returned home with her arms full of awards after pushing her 120 Polaris snowmobile to the max. She is testing the limits and manoeuvering her sled better each race weekend. Rarely letting off the throttle, she is powering in and out of corners and choosing wise lines for passing opportunities. It is wonderful to see her developing a true racers mind. Moving forward, she wants to work on getting around lap traffic so she isn’t held up during the race.
DAKOTA #501
Dakota has found her flare for air time. Each time she hits the track she becomes more and more comfortable, and less reserved approaching table top jumps. This weekend her goal was to improve her starts off the line. She is learning the art of keeping her RPM’s up and pinning it on the green. She definitely made leaps and bounds on this goal and will continue to work on not getting intimidated when she is ski to ski off the line with other competitors. Her biggest achievements were in the Novice A class with top qualifying finishes.
BROOKLYN #500
Brooklyn entered the weekend with moto specific goals. Since the points system is set up to weight second motos higher, she focused on clearing her mind and working through some of the pressures of competition to achieve improved second moto finishes. The competition in transition girls is intense with the top three racers nose to nose during races, so the team was thrilled when Brooklyn was able to meet her goal of advancing in the class this past weekend. The highlight of her weekend was earning the Kids Holeshot award, presented by Eclipse Financial.
