Husqvarna Canada and Bowridge Sports sponsored rider, Lexi Pechout, wrote this update on how her 2011 CMA Oval Ice Provincial and National season is going.

Last weekend, Feb.6th at Cow Lake near Rocky Mountain House, was the 3rd round of the CMA oval ice racing provincial series and round one of the National series. The weather was great and the ice was perfect! My WR250 Husqvarna worked fantastic, especially after Dad finished jetting it to deal with the -20 degree weather. My starts are getting better as Matt Coonfer was helping me.
