Kirkland Lake and Kitchener and New Liskeard.

We have now had the races that start with "K". The kids had a great race in KL. Rebecca had her first win in Novice Girls on Saturday. She had a second on Sunday as well. Her mini racing was okay with a 6th and a 3rd.

Patrick also had a great weekend. He had a 2nd and a third in Novice 1. He really is racing well on the 380.

After KL we were looking forward to 3 weekends of riding at the cottage and practicing.

Rebecca raced at the mini race in New Liskeard. She was 2nd behind Micah. Mr. Mik Mak seems to have really gotten that old Ski-Doo a rockin'. Patrick got to be the finish line flag man. Just like Johhny Adams.

The snow ran out about 1/2 way through March Break so we found a 550 in the Auto Trader and went down and got it for Patrick for next year. He'll likely give it a try at Horseshoe.

To everyone's surprise Kitchener was not cancelled. There was enough snow. The pits were a little rough though since they were just gravel.

Saturday in Kitchener wasn't great. Rebecca was 5th on the mini and 4th in Novice Girls. Patrick was 6th in Novice 1.

On Sunday Rebecca was 3rd on the mini after a hard fought battle with Alexie. She was 4th again in a photo finish in Novice Girls.

Right now Rebecca is still in the lead in the 120 Improved Stock by about 6 points. Patrick is in third in Novice 1. He is 6 points out of 2nd. It's going to be interesting to see how things work out at Horseshoe the weekend after Easter. That is, if there's any snow left for the event.
