The death of Canadian road racing

smileyman · 08-09-2010, 09:58 AM

I was a big fan of the Canadian series back when The Speed Channel covered them. That was a decade ago but I know the talent hasn't declined. Calabogie and Mosport would be great venues and the AMA needs tracks that arent in field oval roadc courses. With two countries worth of sponsors and a healthy North / South rider rivalry we could have a real interesting series...

I would truly love to see that but I can only think of two current tie-ins between the two series:

Frank Wood: A great guy and great race announcer, who worked with the AMA series last season.

Colin Fraser: At this point you folks likely know about as much about him as we do.

Bah to Colin, Bah I say. Twixt him and that loon Roger Edmundson we almost lost our series...Good riddance.
