This weekend’s event format is the same as the first two events this year with open practice Saturday

We also got our new piece of equipment which we have been trying out with great success at the last two local club events.

Montreal Supercross Uunveils It's 2009 Track Layoutsfor MX, ATV, Freestyle And Endurocross

The Great Annual Fall Extravaganza on Saturday October 3 at the Olympic Stadium

Montreal, September 8, 2009 - The organizers of the 32nd Montreal Supermotocross, presented by Coors Light and Parts Canada, unveiled Thursday the new track layouts to be used by each of the four series riders invited for this year's competition on October 3 at the Montreal Olympic Stadium. The layout for the motocross (MX) and ATV riders will include 12 turns and several spectacular jump points. The freestyle motocross aces (FMX) will launch from three successive ramps laid out in a triangular shape (a kind of X Games set up) to maximized air time. Finally, the thrilling EnduroCross (EX) competition, a new series added to this year's competition, will run on a layout that includes 10 turns where riders will battle boulders, logs, tires and will be challenged by a one hundred-foot long pool. MX, ATV and EX riders will also have to deal with a sand trap pit on the track.

"The layouts will be quite demanding for all riders, and that should please the crowd as it will surely tighten up the field and set up close competition among the riders at different portions of the track," said Pierre Corbeil, promoter of the event. "Fans will also get an eyeful from the MX and ATV riders entering the funnel-shape straight that leads from the starting gate to the first of the three hairpin turns. For EnduroCross riders, a combination of tight turns and gnarly obstacles will require a high level of mental focus. As for the Freestyle contest, it will be our most spectacular in years with three jump ramps and three stunt flying zones."


Pierre Corbeil admits that the design of the 2009 track layouts is a collective work. Jean-Sébastien Roy, the newly appointed technical director of the Montreal Supermotocross, worked closely with renowned motocross track designer Maxime Sylvestre on the MX and ATV track designs. As for the EnduroCross section, the contribution of Jimmy Bérard from Granby, Quebec was essential in mapping out the course. Finally, the promoter made sure that the Freestyle ramp layout, set among all the other tracks, is to be world class.


"Once more, our overall layout will offer fans, regardless of where they are sitting, a splendid view of the on-track action of every corner of the Stadium surface. Our goal remains the same year after year: to make sure that fans go home after the show, knowing that they did not miss a moment of the thrilling race action," concluded Pierre Corbeil.


The organizers of the Montreal Supermotocross also announced on Thursday the addition of a novel race event at the beginning of the evening's activities. The race will feature Supermotocross participating motorcycle dealers, where fans can purchase their tickets for the October 3 event at the Olympic Stadium, in a 160cc-14-inch wheel Pit Bike competition. With a month to go prior to the Supermotocross, participating dealers are urged to get in shape for this memorable event.


The Montreal Supermotocross is one of the most popular events of the year presented at the Olympic Stadium, drawing more than 50,000 fans from Quebec, Eastern Ontario, and the bordering States. Since the inaugural event in 1977, 1,618,720 spectators have crossed the turnstiles at the Olympic Stadium to witness the amazing feats of Rod Pederson, Carl Vaillancourt, Jean-Sébastien Roy and many other great riders from Canada and abroad. More than 150 riders from Canada, the United States, and Europe will participate in this year's competition.


The best seats in the house, as well as all reserved seating, are currently on sale, and can be ordered online at Admission (www.admission.com or by calling (514) 790-1245 or 1 800 361-4597). Prices range from $10.00, $19.00, and $28.00 to $37.50. Tickets are also available at participating motorcycle dealers in all regions of Quebec. For more info, go online at www.montrealmotocross.com to learn more about the Montreal Supermotocross.

Karro scores points in first US outing

KARRO SCORES POINTS IN FIRST US OUTING

5 September

Teenage Latvian Matiss Karro had his plate stacked with activity in the last weeks. After riding himself to a standstill in the Dutch GP, he had a 3 race outing on Monday at the Ken Hall Trophy event, and then it was a headlong rush for the airport to jet off to the United States for the final round of the AMA US Championship series at Steel City. Jet-lagged, on a strange bike, against new opposition and in unfamiliar surroundings, the teenager had the odds stacked against him, but this did not detract one little bit from his near-legendary good spirits.

Despite all the drawbacks, Matiss tried to get in his stride as quickly as possible, and he qualified 27th overall for the event, giving him the pass that he needed to line of for an AMA race for the first time in his career. Matiss completely miscalculated his starting technique on the concrete start pad, another new factor for him, and he piled into the race in 31st position out of 40 riders. He steadily advanced, and at one stage it looked possible that he might move into the points, but another problem later in the race dropped him back to 25th spot.

A much better departure placed the MVR-D rider just outside the points in race 2. He had by now gotten the feel for the track and the opposition, and he started moving forward. He advanced as far as 12th position, and then the fatigue of his hectic schedule of the last few weeks began to count. He still fought hard, but lost a few spots to end in 16th position, still good enough for his first championship points Stateside. It was also good enough for him to be credited with 19th overall for the day, not a bad debut under the circumstances.

After returning to the team's base in England, Matiss will be going all out to prepare for the Motocross of Nations in Italy in a few weeks' time.

Sunday Sept 6 2009, Fox Fall Hi Point races return to Walton Ontario, with more then just the average day of racing: the annual Walton Co-ed Race will be taking place too!

The Walton event offers up a fun weekend of racing, and one of the
special events is the annual Walton Co-ed Race. A team consisting of
one girl, one guy and one bike will race the track in a 6 lap, fun
race. The race begins with a running start - the girls stand behind
the gate and their guy partners hold their bike half way down the
start straight. When the gate drops it is full out running race to the
bike, and then it is on! Each lap the teams exchange in the mechanics
area, and race for the glory of the coveted co-ed helmet at the end of
the race.

 Just one more reason to join everyone this weekend in Walton.

 Sign your team up at the Honda Pavillion during normal sign up times
Entry Fee is FREE
Prizes for the top 3 teams
