How does a chick from small town Saskatchewan get involved in racing?  All I gotta say is THANX DAD!

When I was 6(ish) years old I learned how to ride a little red and white YZR-50 my dad bought.  Technically he purchased it for himself, but his little girl had more "seat time" than he ever did.

"Pull in the clutch, push down one, give it a little gas, and let the clutch out!"  A few stalls, and many wheelies later I came back into the yard slowing down near dad.

"Dad, does this go any faster?"  Dad giggles, and says, "Well all you gotta do is pull in the clutch again, pull up on the shifter and let the clutch out again!"

Off I went for around 2 minutes before I came back.... "How many times can I pull up...?"

That is the beginning of the end.  The little YZR went though hell, but thankfully I got all the BIG mistakes out on that little bike.  The plastics tell the story!

I learned how to ride the "big bikes" at the track at Race City, in Calgary, AB.  Yearly from the age of 15-18 my dad and I would attend the FAST racing school out of Shannonville for 2 days of fast and furious FUN!!  I was HOOKED!!

Riding through the summer I was lucky enough meet Mike Zottmann #1, a pro racer with the CMRA.  I'm sure he thought I was kidding when I told him I wanted to race!  The joke at the beginning of our relationship was that you couldn't have 2 racers in the house.  Thankfully he kept me around until next season, humored me by bringing me  to the track, and we are still going strong!

BIOGRAPHY
Bonnie has always enjoyed life to the maximum! It all started at six years of age when she started the family’s old Laser 440+ snowmobile with a pulled cord. Next few years she rode dirt bikes, ATVs and motorcycles. At 16 she passed her motorcycle license and rode a Kawasaki ZX6R 1994. Almost twelve years later is now competition. Which comes naturally to her. Her first time on a track was at Shannonville in October 2006 since that day she has become passionate about motorcycling racing. Working  hard at 2-3 jobs at a time to ensure as much participation in the series as possible. With help from her loyal and valued sponsors. It paid off in her third race of the season, she won first place and had the best lap time of the WCC Pro & Novice racers. Motorcycle racing is her new way of life now!

With the snow melting her enthusiasm is growing each day. She wants to race more than ever and someday hopes to take part in several famous championships. Including the mixed RACE series, Parts Canada National, the Women’s Cup Challenge and maybe even races in the United States or overseas.

GOALS
Her main goals are; winning, to better herself and never stop learning. She seeks the adrenaline rush and thrills to the fullest! Once she's on the track, nothing can stop her! She is grateful to all those people for having shared her passion over this past year.As always, Bonnie will give her best to reach victory!

Kristy’s interest in motorcycles was sparked by a summer spent flagging motocross races with her father at the age of 16, but it wasn’t until 10 years later that Kristy rode a motorcycle for the first time.  In August of 2004, Kristy took a motorcycle training course and was instantly hooked.  She bought her first bike, a 2003 Kawasaki 250 and has been riding ever since. 

In 2005, Kristy took the FAST riding course at Shannonville and in 2006, she began doing track days. Her roadracing career began in April 2007 onboard her 2003 Honda RC51 at Shannonville's R.A.C.E. Superseries, as well as the Pro Honda Oils Women's Cup Challenge.

Her 2007 season saw her race at Mont Tremblant, Mosport and Shannonville at the Novice level with her best finish being 4th at Shannonville.  Kristy's season was cut short by a turn 8 crash at Mosport that left her with a broken vertebra.

Kristy plans to return for 2008 onboard her 2003 Yamaha R6 to compete in the Pro Honda Oils Women's Cup Challenge as well as RACE Novice 600 and RACE Women's Open at Shannonville.
