World Enduro Canada is finalizing the last details of the 2013 Wiesner Insurance Ontario Cross Country Championships. Building on our winning platform of fast, wide open courses and flawless time keeping, 2013 will be another great season. The CMRC and some local MX clubs are working with WEC to prevent event conflicts and increase racer numbers in all classes from Pee Wee to Pro.
Many of the popular venues we have used in the past will be returning such as Walton, Gopher Dunes and Motopark as well as others. World Enduro Canada is a strong supporter of those racing facilities that work hard to keep legal race facilities open. The future of off-road racing is dependent on these facilities continuing to exist.
Racers have told us they like the series being seven to eight rounds as it enables them to race the full championship while limiting travel costs and time constraints. 2013 will continue to follow this template. Also back for next season will be our consistent Pro Payback, Pro Holeshot Award and the Fastest Lap award. It continues to pay to race the WEC Ontario Cross Country Championship!
This year riders will see double header events with racing on both Saturday and Sunday and counting toward the Canadian Cross Country Championship (CXCC) East. Riders will be racing for both Provincial and National titles in this industry supported series. Our Moto Cross Country format will continue at certain venues in the upcoming season due the very positive response after its introduction this past year.
In addition to the Cross Country Championships the Ontario Mini Enduro Championship will be back and this year, expanded to four rounds. This series has seen a strong growth in popularity since it began three years ago. Beginner riders get a taste of competition in a safe closed course venue. The fun atmosphere entertains young riders of all abilities in an FIM Enduro format. Parents and friends are able to follow their riders around the course adding to the fun.
More information will be coming in the following weeks – keep an eye on our site for updates. www.worldendurocanada.com
