NEW TRACKS, NEW ATV RULES AND RETURNING VINTAGE SERIES FOR SOUTHWESTERN ONTARIO

CMRC is excited to announce the addition of two tracks to the SWO calendar that will enhance the race year and create a diverse and varied addition to the CMRC sanctioned calendar in Southwestern Ontario. Plus, there are some rule changes for selected ATV classes that will attract more riders to the growing sport.

Swiona MX Park, located in Iona Station, Ontario, which is just west of London on the north side of the 401, has joined CMRC and will host two events in the ’16 season, one in the spring and one in the fall. The popular and centrally located facility is a welcome to CMRC’s fold and promises to attract riders from all corners of the region. For information on the facility, visit www.swionamxpark.com.

Also added to the schedule is a return of a popular track in Parry Sound at the Ontario Camp for the Deaf. This track was a regular on the schedule in previous years, and has now received approval to continue hosting events. This year on October 2nd, the race will be a collaborative Central Ontario and Southwestern Ontario round so there is a guarantee of a large turnout of riders from both regions.
