February 8, 2021 (Winnpeg, MB) – The weather outside was frightful but not nearly as terrifying as Elias Ishoel’s crushing performance at rounds seven and eight of the ISOC national snocross tour in Fargo, North Dakota. Ishoel rocketed his West Coast Customs/Jimmy John’s Ski-Doo to runaway victories each night, extending his streak to three in a row and six total for the season.Ishoel has had his issues in qualifying rounds early in the season, however, the big fast track in Fargo favored our Jayme Cheney-tuned Rotax motors and Elias was able to finish first or second in three of his four heat races. Elias Ishoel – “I’m feeling really good on my sled,” said Ishoel. This Ski-Doo is awesome out there. It’s just so much fun to be out there. After getting taken out in the first heat on Saturday, it was nice to get a win in the second one and then the final.” |
Pro Lite rider Jordan Lebel made a successful return to the track in Fargo, after sitting out the past month of the season to recovery from internal injuries sustained at the opening weekend of the season. Amazingly, Lebel came out of the box swinging with strong qualifying rounds and a massive 10 second victory in the main event, the rookie’s first-ever in the heavily contend class. Lebel wrapped up the weekend with another solid performance finishing sixth in the round eight main event. |
The team will have the next two weeks to reload during this arctic freeze and prepare for the tour’s first stop at a new venue in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. |
