JUNE 18 & 19

MRC Round 3 Pro National
Prairie Hill MX, Pilot Mound

It has been some time since we have been able to witness the top racers in Canada along with international talent all showing their speed in our province for our National Championship.  We also have the additional excitement of watching our home grown threat, Ryder McNabb, go after a National Championship in the 250 class.  Can he be the 2nd Manitoban to capture a Canadian National Motocross Champion?  Who is the first you ask?  Legendary racer Kim Houde, who captured the title as a privateer in 1979 in the 125cc class, as he chased the championship across the country.

FRIDAY GATE hours

  • Privateer Pros: 9:00am - Midnight

  • Amateurs: 2:00pm - Midnight

Series Schedule: Round 3 Grunthal Mx Update

/

Due to a scheduling conflict within the Grunthal Park, the June 4 & 5 weekend, Round 3 at Grunthal MX will be cancelled and there will not be a rescheduled date for the 2022 season.

This will leave us with 4 rounds in each of the spring and summer series with the final round of the spring series being Morden on July 23/24. Every attempt was made to re-schedule but in the end we could not find a way to work this out and last night the call was made to not replace the event.

The deadline for registration for Altona has been extended to 5 pm Saturday.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

  • All racers are welcome to sign up, no credentials or qualifications needed.

  • If there are more racers than a full gate (40 racers), qualifiers will take place to determine the final 40. If the gate is not full, qualifiers will not be needed.

  • This event will run a 3 moto format as other amateur nationals

Transcanada Motopark in Brandon is hard at work investing their time, energy and money into the track to make it top-notch for some of the top Canadian amateurs to go head-to-head - we can hardly wait!

Round 1 Reflections

/

Thank you

  • A big thank you to the Burmey family for an amazing racetrack. No amount of time, effort and money were spared to create a track that actually needed water for the 2nd half of the race. Hard to believe considering the weather this spring.

  • Thank you to the parents of the 50cc and little ladies classes for their assistance in getting their kids to the mini bike track at the crack of dawn to run the races.

  • Thanks to Marvin Penner for stepping up and contributing as a referee - he did a fantastic job.

  • Thanks to the 16-24 class and plus 25 classes for being on time to staging to start the day! Starting on time is key to the race day finishing on time.

  • Thanks to all of the classes for being on time to staging as this ultimately results in an incredibly efficient race day.

  • Thanks to everyone for being on time for our first riders meeting in 3 years - although they won’t take long there will always be some important reminders for the race day. And this gathering also provides the opportunity for some fellowship with the Chapel that follows immediately after the meeting.

Lessons Learned

The biggest lesson learned from our first race is that it is absolutely critical that every rider must race to the checkered flag. Do NOT pull off the track until you get a checkered flag. Mistakes will happen with the finish flagger for one reason or another and it has happened at the highest levels of our sport where a rider pulls off thinking they got the checkered flag but in fact they did not, and had to hop back into the race!

Stay tuned for details for the upcoming Round 2 at Moto Park X in Altona along with additional series news.
