| Entries are OPEN!The Road to Walton starts today.??Entries are open for the 2021 Walton TransCan Amateur Grand National Championship. Join us in Walton as we add another chapter to the Canadian motocross history books and crown champions for our 29th year! ?REGISTER HERE UPDATES TO THE 2021 TRANSCAN CLASSES In 2021 there are changes to the classes that will line our gates for the 29th year. There has been a lot of discussion, debate and hard decisions made around all changes at Walton TransCan GNC this year. We know some will be welcomed while others will be tougher to hear – please understand we have based these decisions on three years of consistent data. There will not be 450 Junior or 450 Intermediate classes in 2021 at the Walton TransCan Grand National Championships (GNC). This is due to the changing trends in motorcycle racing: young riders are not as comfortable on the larger bikes, older riders are focused on Pro and age classes. The changing cost in racing means fewer riders can afford multiple bike options. All translates into fewer 450 riders. 450 can still race age classes and Open classes at the Walton TransCan GNC. The Youth Class will be now open to Intermediate/Junior/Beginner classified athletes at Walton TransCan GNC. It is not open to Pro-level riders. Schoolboy 2 12-17 is being reintroduced for riders aged 12-17 on a 250F. There are large numbers of athletes in this bracket and it is a really exciting class to bring back to the National level. Regions will not hold qualifiers for this class. Entry will be accepted as first-come, first-served. The Fox Racing Instinct Bronze Boot will include points from the Youth class and SchoolBoy (1+2) 12-17 classes. Girls 9-16 will be discontinued. Unfortunately, as hard as we have tried, there are not enough entries to support this class at the national level. Athletes can still compete in the age divisions classes and Ladies class. Like Schoolboy 2, we will revisit the idea each year. 50cc 4-6 will move to the small track in 2021. This small track is being developed and expanded. Riders in 50cc 4-6 can still compete in 50cc GP on the large track. This addresses the racer intimidation of the big track and safety issues raised by parents in 2020. +30A will no longer be an available class (see ProAm below). +50 will have their own Gate in 2021. ProAm is being added to the schedule. There has been a renewed interest from fast riders to compete at Walton TransCan GNC. Also with the removal of 450 Intermediate, this class offers additional race options for riders on a 450. The Tyke Class is back for 2021, and will be following the same rules and regulations as AMO: Tyke class is strictly 4-8 years of age on training wheels, or no training wheels, CRF, TTR, PW, etc. ONLY. No KTM, Husky, Gas-Gas, or Cobra bikes in Tyke for 2021 and beyond. RACE HUSKY CONTINGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT Race Husky contingency rewards have returned for 2021 and have increased classes and payouts for the Walton TransCan and motocross series nationwide.
