Aurora, Minn. (December 12, 2017) – The AMSOIL Championship Snocross tour made it’s rst visit to the resort town of Jackson Hole, Wyoming where the team faced the challenge of unfamiliar elevation and a fast and demanding course on Snow King Mountain.
New fuel specs and an all-new Skl-Doo race sled meant throwing the old notebook out the window. The team spent a good part of the week testing at elevation in West Yellowstone, Montana and gradually made progress throughout race weekend.
Tim Tremblay had a strong run in Friday night’s final advancing a total of five positions from the start and finishing fifth. Lincoln Lemieux struggled with small mistakes and crashes, starting fifth before dropping three spots and racing back to sixth behind Tremblay.
On Saturday Lemieux improved his qualifying efforts going 4-2 in heat races giving him what appeared to be a good starting spot in the main event. Unfortunately, he was involved in a tangle on the first lap and had to race from the very back of the 14 rider field. Lemieux rapidly made his way through traffic and secured the seventh position with a pass on the last lap.
The night did not go so well for Tim Tremblay, who was injured at the start of his first heat race. Tim was landed on by another rider as they crested a high-speed triple jump going up the ski hill. Although he was shaken up considerably, the ISOC mobile medical unit found no major cuts or broken bones and it is expected that Tim will be 100% for rounds five and six in Minnesota after the holiday break.
Joining us for the weekend was Maj. Gen. Garrett Harencak, Commander of Air Force recruiting. While in Jackson, the team made a visit to Jackson High School to visit with students in the auto and small engines department where we presented a Race to the the Future Scholarship in conjunction with local recruiters.
Up next is the Canterbury Park National in Shakopee, Minnesota on January 5-6, 2018.
