Taylor- 1st Place, Canadian National !

Taylor finished 1st in the final Sunday afternoon in Sarnia Ontario!!!
The Canadian SkiDoo- Rockstar-Royal Distributing team asked Steve to fill in for one of their injured riders and pilot the SkiDoo Stock and Mod classes for the rest of the season. So his first race went very well, earning a victory on his new ride!

Taylor has 2 more national races left on the american series for Factory SkiDoo/ Warnert Racing and then he will return to Canada to race the last 2 Canadian Rounds for the SkiDoo/Rockstar/Royal Distributing team!

Milwaukee Mile and Sandy, Utah National Update!


Taylor made both finals at the Milwaukee Mile. He gained a good start in the stock class from the back row, where he passed up to third and held that position until 4 laps to go. Then some suspension issues caused him to drop back to a solid 5th place finish.
The Mod class final on Saturday night didn't last too long as Taylor got in to some other riders on the 3rd lap and broke a front arm of his sled, causing him to pull off and watch the rest of the race from the mechanics area.

In Sandy, Utah the weekend results were unexpected eventful. With names like Cory Davis not making one of the finals and Tucker Hibbert finishing 7th, it was a tough race for a lot of people. The track was tight inside a football stadium and the racing was super aggressive.
Steve qualified well for both finals! In the Stock he had an unfortunate start and worked his way to a 8th place finish. The Mod class was rough, as riders were all smashing bars on the small track to gain their positions and Steve was hit off course. By the time he got up and going he was in last place but managed to charge up to a top ten finish!
