Cole is racing the east coast SX in the 250 class this year as a privateer. He has two CRF 250f's with BPM Racing Engines motors. Last year Cole's Honda CRF250 SX motor was built by BPM as was the Honda CRF450 motor he rode in the outdoors.

Cole would win every race in MX2 in Canada by a mile. It would be a waste of his time to race here. Even though he might make a few bucks, he'll be off the radar of any team he would like to ride for.

A Canadian MX2 championship and a looney won't even get you a double double at Tim Horton's. Never mind a decent ride in a far better series.

Why Facciotti continues to waste his time up here baffles me too. Both are easily top ten guys down south if they put their mind to it. They have the speed, but lack the support to get it done. A team like Eleven10 would be smart to pick up either one.

He is trying to break Pedersons records. Not looking good.

Running one class? What is he going to do race until he's 72?

The Thompson Family has a very long racing history with Honda thats why they own and race Honda's.
Cole is racing on his on dime right now.

The Leading Edge Kawasaki deal is for the 2013 Outdoor Canadian Nationals.

Met and talked to Cole and his Father this past fall at Freelin MX in Marlette, Mi. Both seemed like real good guys, I wish them good luck this season which ever path they decide to take!
