The 12th annual CMRC Western Canada Amateur National Motocross Championships completed this past weekend, with approximately 650 entries from all over Western Canada battling at the famed track for motocross glory.
Good weather and strong racing for the long standing event was the high note for this years motocross championships. The track offered up the tough conditions that have been a trademark of Temple Hill. "It was pretty smooth event. All the kids who came rode hard and were respective to the staff here at Temple Hill. I always say it is the riders who make the show" said Western Amateur National Promoter Gerry Nelson.
The event big winner was Fort St John, BC's Trae Franklin. The 14 year old KTM rider dominated in the Supermini, Junior and GP Junior classes the entire week. Franklin won all 9 motos he entered, and took home the coveted Gaerne Bronze Boot award for the event's top rider. "Trae was as good as we have seen at Raymond in all the years we have done the event. He was the best rider here, and deserves the recognition" said Gerry Nelson, the WCAN's promoter.
A new annual award was introduced at the event, the Top End Promotions Inc. Heart Award. This year the award focused on racing families and the recipients were Trevor and Renee Turner's family from Barons, AB.
Heather Nelson said the success of the event was due to everyone who raced, worked and partipated in the event: "Each year we say thanks, and we want to say it again. Thanks to the riders, their families, the Lethbridge Motorcycle Club, the Over the Bars Club and all the people who helped make this race a special event for Canadian motocross, but maybe more importantly, Western Canada".
