CMRC ANQ @ GoPHER DUNES

Update Blast from the Dunes....April 28, 2009

 

What a mixed bag of weather we've had these past few days with gale force winds on Saturday turning the Dunes into Desert Storm at the worst of times, but this still didn't seem to stop some 100 riders from coming out to test & tune their riding skills.  

 

By Sunday the scenery changed drastically, as a multitude of odd & unusual 4x4 trucks and home-built contraptions rolled-in to attend our 15th. Annual Spring 4x4 MudFest.  This popular event attracted 500 trucks and thousands of sun-burned & thirsty spectators!   Following registration and the drivers' meeting, each competitor had turns to manoeuvre their way through one of the specially dug-out mudbogs and loop through the marked trail route testing their own personal skills and the toughness of their vehicle.  At the start of the run they were first welcomed by quite docile mud-pits, which became rather deceitfully treacherous as the day progressed....but from the enthusiasm of the crowd, it sure reflected a fun day for all!  Many have already marked their calendars for the first-ever Summer 4x4 MudFest taking place on Sunday, June 28. 

 

Now moving along....

We want to remind our Repetitive Practice Riders that there are only 2 days left to purchase your 2009 Gopher Dunes Membership by April 30.  It offers you unlimited practice riding, free gate admissions, Pro Shop discounts and for 1st. prize a chance to WIN BACK your full $450 cost of the membership fee.  

2nd. prize consists of a Pro Shop Prize Pak incl. an OGIO goggle box, 2 pair of SPY goggles, tear-offs & a spare lens;  3rd. prize offers the winner a pair of tickets to Round 5 of the Monster Energy CMRC Pro National Motocross Races at the Dunes on July 19. 

Our draw is being held on May 1st. and any of our '09 Members will have a chance to win!   Last chance....buy now....call Barb:  519-842-2781

 

A reminder to our 65cc pee-wee riders....we have a full-day training session coming up for you on Saturday, June 6.  Don't miss out on this chance to brush up on your riding & racing skills....a full day of instructional and hands-on training for only $150.  Don't miss out....sign up now!

Training School Registration Forms can be accessed and downloaded from: www.gopherdunes.com  

 

Last day to practice this week is Wednesday, April 29 from 11am to 8pm -- track & trails are open!!

We then close for 3 days to prep for this Sunday's CMRC Amateur National Qualifier Race on May 3rd.  Details on this Sunday's Event follow below:

The SUPERSHOW MX Stars-of-tomorrow

 

The Walton TransCan Grand National Championship in conjunction with the 2009 North American International Motorcycle SUPERSHOW will be hosting the SUPERSHOW MX Stars-of-tomorrow Amateur Motocross rider sponsorship program.



In 2008 ten of the Canada's top amateur motocrossers were offered the chance to be part of the MX Stars-of-tomorrrow exhibit in the Performance & Racing Hall. Racers can gain experience in how to solicit, retain and develop sponsorship plus live stage presentations of these riders with interviews. This concept has allowed these top placing amateurs to promote themselves and helped these successful riders reach the next level in their pursuit of a professional career, while  raising the profile of amateur motocross.



For 2009 invitations have been sent out to potential candidates and an illustrious group of presenters are being confirmed . Show visitors will have a unique opportunity to meet Canada's most elite and accomplished motorcycle athletes in a relaxed atmosphere and to get an autograph. You will be able to say years from now " I met him back when.." for the ultimate bench racing story.



SUPERSHOW’s V.P. of Sales & Marketing, Peter Derry comments “The SUPERSHOW has a long history of supporting motorcycle racing in Canada and we are very excited to turn our attention to the National Amateur Motocross scene in Canada by teaming up with the biggest Event in the National Motocross series, the Walton TransCan GNC."

Canada's Biggest Outdoor Motocross Event - www.waltontranscan.ca


The Walton TransCan Grand National Championship is a week long festival of fun and excitement! For this annual "Celebration of Canadian Motocross," nearly 1,000 motocross riders and their families cross borders and cross the country to compete for Canada's most prestigious motocross awards.

Starting early in the race season every CMRC region in the country hosts amateur national qualifier events to establish who is invited to compete. They arrive early in the week for four days of amateur racing at Walton for the title of CMRC Amateur National Champion.

Walton has the honour of hosting the final round of the nine-race National Pro MX1 Championship, which follows the amateur event schedule. The Pro MX1 championship is highlighted by the presentation of the spectacular "King of Walton" sword to the overall winner during the final round.

Walton also stages the final clash between the top pro MX2 riders. The event has been coined the MX2 Shootout and every year the racing is filled with excitement and controversy as young-gun riders battle for recognition in the last outdoor national event of the year.

Amongst the racing there is also a full slate of social activities: scavenger hunts, bingo, nightly entertainment, paint ball, food court, and lots more. Plus special events like the Heritage race and the popular Canada Cup east/West Challenge.

Every year, over 25,000 visitors have full access to pro and amateur racing pits, where fans are welcomed to mingle with racers, get autographs and posters. Walton also hosts the biggest off-road motorcycle trade show in the country along with live entertainment, freestyle demos, riding demos (with supplied equipment and instructors), beer gardens, helicopter rides, hospitality tent and lots of contests, games and giveaways.

The #1 Motocross Race in Promotion, Presentation and Organization

Over 15 million impressions of combined pre-event promotion, event participation and international post-event coverage help to draw the largest motocross crowd in Canada to the small, quaint town of Walton. Extensive mass media promotion include advertising on television, radio, billboards, Internet, direct mail, print, posters, etc. plus creative co-promotions with some of the region's most successful marketers.

Testimonials

"In my twenty-two years as a motocross journalist I've been to many motocross tracks in Canada and Europe, and Walton is definitely one of my favourites. I know I'm considered a traditionalist but the Walton track offers the best of the past and the present. Of all the events I have attended, including GPs and International MX, the Walton TransCan Grand National ranks up there with the best. My hat goes off to Chris Lee and his family for the passion they put into the sport of motocross." — Wil De Clercq (MX Performance Magazine - Performance Racing News)

"I treasure my summers, I love every minute I spend at the nine rounds of the Monster Energy Nationals, and I love seeing who will rise to the challenge and join the battle for the Canadian title. But there is one thing that I have grown to value even more in recent years: the four days of amateur racing I take in at the Walton TransCan each year. If you are a true fan of Canadian motocross you know what I mean. Spending time at the TransCan reminds you of everything that is great about our sport and it also reminds you of the huge promise and the brilliant future of our young Canadian riders." — Allison Kennedy RacerX Canada Nov '07
