1 trophy and 2 medals

We had a great weekend in Searchmont. The weather was great with sunshine both days. The trip over was a little exciting with the trailer swaying in the gail force winds around Lake Huron.

Rebecca had her 1st race weekend on the Freestyle. It went well Saturday until she missed a corner in her last race and went over a 10 foot embankment - she was fine but the sled needs a little love. New skis and a kill switch as well as straightening out the steering.

Patrick really loved racing his 380. He had a 3rd and a 4th place finish on it. We're hoping for a top three overall in that class.

Rebecca was the one to beat on the Mini. On Saturday she led from start to finish. On Sunday she got a poor start and was in fourth place for the first 1 1/2 laps. On the second lap the leaders were swapping paint on a corner - Rebecca saw that they were all wide and snuck by on the inside and held the lead for the rest of the race. This was the first weekend that she has won both days.

Alexie Berthelette won both of her 120 races as well. These girls were a force that could not be reckoned with.

We've got quite a break now until the race in Owen Sound in mid-January

Sault Ste Marie rescheduled

Because of the disgustingly warm weather in November there was no snow at Searchmont last week when the CSRA had to call the 1st race of the season.

Friday at around noon they listed that the race is a go for the 2nd weekend of December. I'm not really all that disappointed that the race was postponed because the sleds weren't ready. Patrick's slipper gear needed more parts and neither of them are properly decalled. Everything should be in place by Wednesday so we can take off at the crack of dawn on Friday.

The new trailer is working great once we figured to reduce the tongue weight. It is now around 10% of the total trailer weight.

The mini is all tuned up and ready to race. Hopefully this will be Rebecca's year to shine.

I wonder if we can talk Mom into using the 380 in Trail Sport Women?
