2014 Rockstar Energy Drink Motocross Nationals Will Rock!!
The 22nd Annual Rockstar Energy Drink Motocross Nationals, sanctioned by CMRC, are shaping up to be the most exciting, highest attended, and fiercly competitive Canadian Pro Motocross Championships in the history of the sport.
The tour will now consist of ten rounds with the latest addition of Ulverton, Quebec to the series schedule. Ulverton, located just south of Drummondville, has hosted motocross nationals since the ‘70s and is one of the more prestigious tracks in Quebec that features rolling hills and sandy loam, which has always been a favourite to the riders and spectators. The last time the series visited Ulverton was in 2001. The series will also revisit Moto Valley Raceway in Regina, Saskatchewan to conclude the western swing of the series. Moto Valley Raceway has hosted some of Canada’s most thrilling national battles thanks to the numerous elevation changes where riders fly in and out of the valley. Located minutes east of the City of Regina, Moto Valley Raceway hosted CMRC Nationals up until 2008.
The most exciting news for four selected rounds is the addition of live music following the Pro National racing. Bands have yet to be confirmed but expect to see three or more bands playing immediately after the racing concludes with a high profile feature act to wrap up the evening. The venues that will be hosting music are Nanaimo, Regina, Gopher Dunes and Moncton. Nanaimo, Regina and Gopher Dunes will have the Pro National racing take place on Saturday with the music extending through to Saturday night. The Moncton event will remain on Sunday due to the fact it is on a long weekend. We may even throw in some freestyle shows to create an event you won’t want to miss. Stay tuned!
Also featured on select weekends will be the CMRC Women’s Nationals. There will continue to be a Western and Eastern Championship, each consisting of three rounds, with each race being the highlight of the amateur days. Every year the prestige and talent level of the competitors rises, and we anticipate a flood of new racers from the south coming north to take on the best Canada has to offer.
The anticipation is already high with teams loading up on Pros to contest for the championship title in both the MX1 and MX2 Pro classes. The level of talent at the front of the pack this year will be at an all time high! The countdown is on to the series opener at The Wastelands in Nanaimo, Saturday, May 31st. We hope to see you there.
