Royal Skidoo Factory Recreation Race Report - Owen Sound

Royal Distributing-Factory Recreation Ski-Doo Race Report

Georgian Cup, Owen Sound, ON: Royal Pro Rider Joey Sagan is running as fast as he has ever been! Joey doesn’t really believe in luck, but will almost admit he is due some good luck soon.  After some blistering fast qualifiers, and some tough final luck at Searchmount, Joey was ready to prove he is a contender on this year’s circuit. 

On Saturday, Joey did just that.  Sagan’s # 202 XP ran 2nd in his Saturday Stock heat, and got a win and a 2nd place in his Mod heats.  The Factory Recreation Skidoo’s spent the day on the box-on the podium, right where Joey wanted them.  Everything was shaping up well for Sundays finals.

On Sunday Sagan got a poor start on the tight Owen Sound starting line, but fought hard to finish in 4th spot, and awesome drive up through the competitive pack in the short 10 lap final.

In the final race, the Pro Open final, Joey nailed an awesome start, as seen in the attached picture, as he came into the first corner in almost a dead heat for the lead.  Unfortunately a sled came up and knocked into the XP and took Sagan off the sled, in the melee he became trapped under another riders sled .  Joey remounted and charged back, shotgun on the field, Sagan fought back to an 8th place result. 

The team knows they are super fast and are looking forward to Lindsay this weekend.

Cally Ann Sagan on her Pink #502c Skidoo XP had a strong weekend with solid wins in Sport 600 Women, in both Saturday and Sundays finals!

Also, coming out of retirement, our own Jason Smith piloted the 75x to a victory in Vintage 2 leaf/slide and a 3rd in Vintage 1 leaf/bogie classes!

See you this weekend in Lindsay ON, for the Kawartha Cup Round 1!
