Royal Distributing-Bourque Polaris Race Report - Bracebridge CSRA

Royal Distributing-Bourque Polaris Race Report // Muskoka Pro Snowcross
CSRA Race, Bracebridge, ON

BRACEBRIDGE, ON - 16 year old Stephanie Simard continued her strong campaign this season with yet another podium finish in the Pro Women's final on her Polaris IQ. Stephanie took home 2nd place behind WPSA champ Angela Vachino. Angela has proven to be the woman to beat on both sides of the border. Stephanie kept the race close all the way to the finish line for a very strong 2nd place. Simard continues to impress in her debut season in the Pro classes.

15 year old Semi Pro rider David Joanis went out and won all his semi-pro qualifiers in Semi-pro open. Dave dominated in the final and cruised to a win, again putting the sponsors up front. Dave's count on the season is 7 wins in 8 races in Semi pro, with one 2nd place. The Semi Pro Super Stock final was cancelled due to whiteout conditions, to be run later in the season.

Dave rode in the Pro Stock class again this week, riding with the top riders. Dave won a qualifier, followed closely by Royal Pro rider Lee Butler for a one-two finish. In his second qualifier, Dave ran very close with WPSA Pro Riders Iain Hayden and Brett Bender for a podium finish. Dave then ran 3rd in the Pro Stock final on Sunday, opening eyes further around the pits and in the stands that he is a talent here to stay!

#73 Pro Lee Butler, fresh off a win in Lindsay, was solid and near the front in all qualifiers, but due to some tough luck in the competitive Pro Stock final didn't find the podium this week . Lee continues to be solid in the points and looks for more wins this season.
