Canadian SUPERMOTO NATIONALS
Supermoto junkies! Looking for a 6 race National Championship fix, here it is. Buddy Ford Productions offers awesome tracks, great racing for all classes, $3000 Pro purse, All others: 25% payback, trophies & prizes.
The 2008 CMRC sanctioned Nationals get underway Sunday June 29th in Jonquière, Québec. The farthest trip north of the border to kick off the season will be worth the journey guaranteed. Friday night (6:00pm – 9:00pm) and Saturday (11:00am – 4:00pm) practice will enable riders to break in their new machinery before the 1st round of the series. Qualifying and finals will be run Sunday June 29th from 9:00am to 3:00pm. Registration 8:00am Sunday.
Since this is a bit out of the way for all the English speaking riders, we will make sure everything is over by 3:00pm Sunday. This is another one of Buddy Ford’s free spectator events run downtown. We expect a crowd of 10,000 over the weekend because we are racing in conjunction with the annual Jonquière music festival.
The Jonquière track will be built in a Walmart parking lot and fifty (50) truckloads of dirt will be brought in to construct a very fun & technical dirt section. Promoter Buddy Ford and Canadian Supermoto pioneer Dave Arnold will put their heads together to make it fun, safe and challenging for all. Please support the Canadian SM Nationals, don’t miss the 1st round it will be very entertaining. The people in Jonquière are eagerly waiting for the display of speed and excitement that Supermoto offers. Racers, you will be treated like superstars with VIP pavement pit parking, champagne, podium and trophy girls! Be there!
Classes offered: Mini Moto, SM2 Amateur & Pro, Beginner, SM1, Open Am, 450 Pro-am, SMX Open Pro, Vet & Atv’s. Sign in / class: $50.00 Mini’s, Amateurs, Vet’s & Atv’s. $70.00 SM1 & Pro’s
You’re a beginner you want to try Supermoto for the first time, Buddy Ford is offering free 19” & 21” tires to fit right on your motocross bike, nothing else needed apart from putting silicone on the drain plugs and adding a catch can. No peg sliders mandatory for the 1st three rounds of the series.
ATV riders bring your ATV and have fun. It is race ready for Supermoto, no slicks or fancy Hoosier tires needed. Your regular stock Atv tire will do the job, Turf Tamers are perfect or anything with small knobbies, they will slide and you’ll have a blast.
