GNSS Regional Circuit finals were March 13 and 14.  Both rounds were actually run on Saturday because of the summer weather.  It was a good call as the derby track had a moat around it on Sunday.  The team finished with both Josh #133 and Abbie #171 going to the Nationals as affiliate riders.  Affiliate riders are the top three in regional classes that race together with the other regional top riders.  Josh will be racing Pro Open and Abbie her Stock 120.

JOSH is the GNSS PRO OPEN and PRO STOCK CHAMPION!

ABBIE is 3rd PLACE IN STOCK 120 and 6th PLACE in 120 CHAMP CLASS!

Ella was in Eagle River excited with all the "Bo Bo's" ... she loves the vroom of the snowmobiles and already reaches for the throttle!  Possibly the future of High-Octane Racing.  Kevin continued his announcing career taking the mic and keeping the crowd going most of the day.  Of course Scotty B pumped him full of NOS Energy drink.  Watch out Colorado Rob.

We ended a fantastic regional season with a banquet full of laughs, trophies and motivation for the 2010-11 season.

Friday the 19th of March we wrap up the entire race season at the Lake Geneva Grand Finale!  Three days of racing excitement and close to home!  We welcome our fans to come and enjoy.

Heading to Eagle River end of the month of February, for a GNSS double header - watch for updates. 

This Valentine weekend was Weyauwega under the lights...  Something new with racing going late into the night.  Our racers were in great form.  With only a few pro riders Josh #133 ran heats and finals with semi-pro racers.  Josh and the other pros had a delayed start but ran in the midst of the semi-pro mayhem.  He scored first in the final on his stock; he took a lap in the final on the open final as the other sled blew his engine before the race. Josh's sled suffered damage too, but at least he could take the green.  Work to be done before the next races! Abbie #171 hit the track and went full throttle into a 2nd in her stock final and 4th in the Champ final.  Dad's tuning in that sled so that pink sled does more than look pretty.  Kevin #121 continues to support the team, and his buddies, giving words of encouragement in the pits.  Race day is great - on and off the track.

Heading home from the 47th running of the Eagle River World Championship Derby!  What a fantastic weekend.  The derby is typically the frozen tundra and we enjoyed weather in the high 20s and sunshine.  Josh #133 was the only member of the team represented this year.  We should see Abbie back in action in Kaukauna, and hopefully Kevin is well enough to travel and cheer on the team.  Thanks to all of our racing family and friends for the many well wishes for Kevin.  We are thankful  for this side of racing ~ friendship ~ as much as the sport itself. 

This was a regional for GNSS so Josh was racing in the Pro class, and lined up with Malinowski, Turcotte and Johnstadt ... very exciting.  Josh was at the top of his game!  He qualified for the finals in all classes, including the exciting Pro Carlisle Friday Night Thunder.  Unofficial results are Josh in 1oth place in the Pro Stock Final on Sunday.  Unfortunately the scissor suspension let loose during the Pro Open final while landing over the table top into his 4th lap on the mod, so he had to settle for watching his final on the side of the track.  That means there is work to do before we hit the track in Kaukauna at the end of the month.

Watch for some new pics as I try to upload this week.  Look for Ella getting comfortable on the infamous Pink Tink 120 stocker calling for cousin Abbie!!!

The first GNSS regional in Plymouth was bittersweet.  Josh #133 and Abbie #171 had good runs.  Abbie finished second on the stock 120 and is still reving and riding that Champ sled.  Josh's first appearance on the regional Pro level brought in a sixth place in stock and fourteen in the mod.  The snocross and ice oval races made for an interesting race day.

It was a rough day for Kevin #121.  Durig practice on the 550 he took a nasty digger in the woops.  It knocked the wind out of him, but we originally thought he would be okay.  Even with pain he did his first heats, but then was done.  Good thing he knew the pain was too much.  Sunday he was in the ER and admitted in the afternoon.  A CT scan revealed a laceration to his spleen and two small ones on his left kidney.  Good news is he should heal with no surgery!  He's down and out for the week, and it will be a slow recovery.  Snocross appears to be unlikely for this season, but we are all happy that Kevin will recover. 

High-Octane is a family team and we are all in this together!

Duluth and Milwaukee Mile - two Nationals already complete in the 2009-2010 sno-x season! 

 Abbie #171 is mixing snow and pixie dust running the legendary Champ sled!  She's learning the tricks of the track!

 01/31/09 We're at the half-way point of the season and the team is smokin!  We are all pleased with the great job in the Great Northern SnoX Series!  The circuit is in its first year and really a great group dedicated to those who love snoX racing, and a little frustrated with ISOC regionals.  The tream has participated and done well at ISOC National races in Duluth, Ironwood, and this year the "boyz" went to Shakopee.  It was a great venue and they all made the finals!  We're looking forward to Hayward and Lake Geneva.

As for the regional circuit, here's where we stand:

      Josh - Semi-pro Stock 204 points - running 2nd   Semi-pro Mod 197 points - running 1st

      Kevin - 550 fan 240 points - running 2nd       300 Freestyle 300 points - running 1st

      Abbie - 120 Champ 131 points - running 5th     120 Stock 270 points - running 1st

We all braved the sub-zero temperatures at the Eagle River World Championship Derby, but no matter the temperature, we would never miss that event.  This year Abbie rode the Champ under the lights during Friday Night Thunder!  Again, everyone made the finals in their classes, and Kevin proudly took the checkered flag around the track riding his 300!

 11/25/08 Let's Go Racing!  The team will be traveling to Duluth, MN for the Amsoil Duluth National.  The team is excited to face this year's challenge.  Josh (#133) will be banking the corners and hitting the jumps on his 2009 Polaris 600 IQ Race Sled.  Kevin will be vying the holeshot again this year on his Ski-Doo 300 Freestyle.  #121 (Kevin) will also be tackling the woops and looking to conquer the coarse with his 550 Fan.  Abbie is getting serious ... you'll see #171 taking the bars of the 120 Champ Sled this year in addition to her stock.  Good luck racers ~ Be Tough ... Be Safe !!!

 9/5/08 The "unofficial" start of race season, Hay Days.  The annual trek to Forest Lake, MN is the largest snowmobiile swap meet - and a great time.  The team is headed up with friends to see the unveiling of the new sleds and catch up with the racing crowd.

7/25/08 The team was blessed with our newest member. Ella Kathleen Kuklinski was born today.  Ella, her daddy Josh (#133) and mom Breanne are doing good!  Cousins Kevin (#121) and Abbie (#171) can't wait to get her on a 120!

Coming up this weekend, we have our first Regional Race of the year.  We will be in Ironwood, Michigan.  Throughout this weekend, we will be gathering portraits of each member as well as many other pictures throughout the weekend.  Check back on Monday for more information and many more pictures.

On Monday when we add information about the past weekend, we will also be adding the results from the first National Race in Duluth, Minnesota.  Watch for those to be posted.

In addition, we will also be looking into a better method for the pictures to aid in the pages loading faster.  We apologize for the delay in the pictures loading, but appreciate your patience.
