The end of the 2022 Flat Track Canada season had to sting for Tyler Seguin. A contender all season long in a championship battle with Dave Pouliot, Seguin went into the final race of the year feeling confident that finally that elusive first Flat Track Canada Open Expert Championship could be his. Despite being down...

Going into the seventh and final Flat Track Canada National at Humberstone in Port Colborne, ON, September 23, the focus was rightly on the title battle between Tyler Seguin and Dustin Brown – 112 points to 109. Brown needed some luck, but Seguin was in the driver’s seat – place in front of Brown, get...

Two-time CSBK overall Champ Ben Young won the most recent three races of the Bridgestone CSBK Series going away, taking convincing wins last month at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. Since, then, he has tested at the scene of the deciding round of the Championship, the 15 turn “long” version of Shannonville Motorsport Park, unused by...

Legendary Canadian Flat Track competitor Dominic Beaulac started his national event at Georgina Down with a challenge – how to recover from an early practice session that ventilated the engine in his potent Rotax “framer.” The half mile horse course near Barrie, ON, suits the 46-year-olds charging style, but you need a bike to get...

The Liqui Moly Pro Sport Bike National Championship reached mid point in their tour at the fourth round of the 2023 Bridgestone CSBK Series at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park last weekend. Friday featured a make-up race for the washed out round from last month at Atlantic Motorsport Park, while Saturday and Sunday featured the typical...

So just like that it is the end of August and summer is pretty well over. Not sure if it is an age thing or what, but this one seems like it has flown by ultra quick. If this speedy summer was not induced by strictly getting older, then perhaps the culprit must be the...

The 2023 Motul FIM MiniGP National series competed its inaugural season at the Lombardy Go-Kart venue north of Kingston last weekend, with the final three races of the season total of ten to complete. The event was held in conjunction with the local County Fair, so there was a huge variety of food options for...

I do not generally like to write about travel – anyone who has made more than one trip anywhere probably has a story. I also avoid behind the scenes stories about the structure of motorcycle competition since they tend to be of interest only to other workers. In this case, however, I am going to...

So my current bike is supposedly a wheelie machine. I say supposedly because despite the little red guy with horns sitting on my shoulder trying his best to get me to hoist the front wheel in the air, I have done a remarkable job of listening to the guy on the other shoulder (the one...

I was in Alberta this July long weekend, to work the second round of the MiniGP series at Strathmore’s Go-Kart facility, east of Calgary, and visit the brand-new Rocky Mountain Motorsports “big bike” track, north of the city – the two venues maybe an hour and 15 minutes apart via highway. Much attention is currently...

After two years of development, not helped by a global pandemic, the Canadian version of the MiniGP National Series opened with three races at the opening round at Greg Moore Raceway in Mission, British Columbia. Backed by Motul and spec tire supplier Pirelli, the Championship has a key feature – the winner’s head to Valencia...

To say that racing is in Taia Little’s blood would be an understatement. Although she has only been racing for eight years, Little has an abundance of flat track riders in the family to lean on for advice. Little’s father Paul was a talented racer and although he is now retired from turning laps, Little...
