Can-Am Mini Motorcycle Roadracing Championship

Just wanted to say thanks all, for making this last race weekend such a fun one! The racing was fantastic and the grids looked great, especially the NSRCup with all those 9 to 12 years olds dicing it up. You all know how I feel about our youth riders, it was exciting to say the least!

I also want to say thanks again to the Can-Am and SCMiniGp folks as well as those who traveled great distances to see what the SMRRC is all about. You guys deserve a big congrats for putting in the time and effort. The sponsored awards were awesome!

So lets try and keep the momentum going. This is starting to remind me of the old days again. See you guys at the next round

North America’s only cross-border mini motorcycle road racing series kicks off this weekend in Stockton, California.

The series welcomes the industry recognition and support as shown in new series sponsor Motion Pro. “Motion Pro is pleased to be a part of the Can-Am Mini Roadracing Championship series. The young aspiring road racers of the United States and Canada need to have a good series to showcase their talents on the long road to the Big Leagues. If we can help them keep their bikes in top shape with our high quality tools and controls, and give them a nudge along the right path, we are proud to do so,” said Chris Van Andel, Race Support Director for Motion Pro.

Motion Pro is joined by American Honda, MiniGPX.com News, Pro Honda Oils & Lubricants, RK Excel America, SpeedMotoCo, Sudco, Vortex Racing and Big B Electric all of which have donated prizes to the series participants. Most notably at every round Pro Honda Oils & Lubricants is providing a case of their full synthetic HP4S to every rider that finishes on the podium in the Formula GP race.

The 5 race Can-Am Mini Roadracing Championship is the only North American mini road race championship that runs across country borders, and runs with direct support from the local clubs. The three US rounds are hosted by three clubs (NMRRA, SMRRC, SCminiGP) while the two Canadian rounds run in conjunction with the Canadian mini road racing series (CNMRA).

The local clubs are happy to be involved with the series and are providing their full support including Matt Myers who runs the SMRRC, “It is great to see come together, any help is always appreciated and I think what the Cam-Am folks are doing is awesome for mini road racing. Hopefully we’ll see some more Northerners down!”

After the Stockton series kick off this weekend it will take a month off then head to Canada where it will run in conjunction with the Canadian Superbike Series.

The series welcomes its latest sponsor Motion Pro.

“Motion Pro is pleased to be a part of the Can-Am Mini Roadracing Championship series. The young aspiring road racers of the United States and Canada need to have a good series to showcase their talents on the long road to the Big Leagues. If we can help them keep their bikes in top shape with our high quality tools and controls, and give them a nudge along the right path, we are proud to do so,” said Chris Van Andel, Race Support Director for Motion Pro.

Motion Pro has sent a good assortment of goodies that are sure to put some hard value on the races. The goodies include swag, discount certificates, and Motion Pro’s claim to fame…tools. Be sure to check them out via the Sponsor links on the right of this page.

The latest Can-Am Mini Roadracing Championship series sponsor is Big B Electric of Abbotsford, BC, Canada. Big B Electric has stepped up to provide a bottle of Pro Honda Oils & Chemicals HP2 premix oil to top 3 finishers of the NSR Cup class for EACH race in series.

We are pleased to announce the 5 race 2008 Can-Am Mini Roadracing Championship. This series is the only North American mini road race championship that runs across country borders and with local club support. The three US rounds are hosted by three clubs (NMRRA, SMRRC, SCminiGP) while the two Canadian rounds run in conjunction with the Canadian Mini Roadracing Association series (CNMRA).

“With the success and level that Mini Road Racing has achieved in North America and the club synergy in the Western states and Canadian provinces, the timing is perfect for such a series. I feel the Can-Am Championship will be a great success. This will also be a great way to crown the North American Honda NSR Cup Champion,” explains Jay Fox, President, AMRA & CNMRA.

In addition Fox has personally stepped up for those Americans willing to head to Canada, “Fox Family Roadracing, organizers of the AMRA, and Motorcycle Tire Service will support any podium finishing adult racer from a US club who is looking to travel to Canada with a factory stock NSR50 outfitted with Dunlop TT91’s for use at each Canadian Round of the Can-Am Mini Roadracing Championship. Contact amra@shaw.ca to reserve your NSR, limited numbers available.”

With such gracious support and national pride on both sides of the border the good fun trash talking is already in full swing. There is no doubt that the North American Can-Am Mini Roadracing Championship is sure to be a throw down.
