Going into the seventh and final Flat Track Canada National at Humberstone in Port Colborne, ON, September 23, the focus was rightly on the title battle between Tyler Seguin and Dustin Brown – 112 points to 109. Brown needed some luck, but Seguin was in the driver’s seat – place in front of Brown, get...

Two-time CSBK overall Champ Ben Young won the most recent three races of the Bridgestone CSBK Series going away, taking convincing wins last month at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. Since, then, he has tested at the scene of the deciding round of the Championship, the 15 turn “long” version of Shannonville Motorsport Park, unused by...

Legendary Canadian Flat Track competitor Dominic Beaulac started his national event at Georgina Down with a challenge – how to recover from an early practice session that ventilated the engine in his potent Rotax “framer.” The half mile horse course near Barrie, ON, suits the 46-year-olds charging style, but you need a bike to get...

The Liqui Moly Pro Sport Bike National Championship reached mid point in their tour at the fourth round of the 2023 Bridgestone CSBK Series at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park last weekend. Friday featured a make-up race for the washed out round from last month at Atlantic Motorsport Park, while Saturday and Sunday featured the typical...

The 2023 Motul FIM MiniGP National series competed its inaugural season at the Lombardy Go-Kart venue north of Kingston last weekend, with the final three races of the season total of ten to complete. The event was held in conjunction with the local County Fair, so there was a huge variety of food options for...

I do not generally like to write about travel – anyone who has made more than one trip anywhere probably has a story. I also avoid behind the scenes stories about the structure of motorcycle competition since they tend to be of interest only to other workers. In this case, however, I am going to...

I was in Alberta this July long weekend, to work the second round of the MiniGP series at Strathmore’s Go-Kart facility, east of Calgary, and visit the brand-new Rocky Mountain Motorsports “big bike” track, north of the city – the two venues maybe an hour and 15 minutes apart via highway. Much attention is currently...

After two years of development, not helped by a global pandemic, the Canadian version of the MiniGP National Series opened with three races at the opening round at Greg Moore Raceway in Mission, British Columbia. Backed by Motul and spec tire supplier Pirelli, the Championship has a key feature – the winner’s head to Valencia...

Reigning Bridgestone CSBK overall Canadian National motorcycle road racing Champion Ben Young celebrated his 30th birthday at Grand Bend last week, busy testing with the rest of the field for the second round of the National tour. The arc of BMW Motorrad’s leader’s event looked set, and the celebrations continued with a solid success in...

Last Saturday, Canadian Flat Track legend Doug Lawrence added to his resume at Welland Country Speedway – a real achievement given his success over the years at his home track. Lawrence took the wins in both the Feature race and the Pro 450 class, aboard a newly developed Honda prepared by the Lawrence family. As...

From a distance, the results from the opening weekend of Bridgestone CSBK series at Shannonville Motorsport Park were as expected. In the GP Bikes Pro Superbike Feature class, Alex Dumas leads the standings with a pair of wins, while Ben Young won the BS Battery Pole Award and netted a conservative second in the wet...

Last weekend, the MotoAmerica tour launched their regular season at Road Atlanta, after the one-off, non-Championship, open tire Super Sport and support class event last month at Daytona. If the opener is anything to go by, this is shaping up to be a great season south of the border. Recently, the Fresh ‘N’ Lean/Progressive Insurance...
