Ok, have had Nationals at Whispering Pines (Kamloops), Prince George, Popkum and Nanaimo in the past. What changed?

I went to the last two in Kamloops and they can totally handle the capacity! Nanaimo is the one I went to growing up and they can handle the capacity aswell. I thought this year they were supposed to add a bunch of rounds

I guess the WSX kind of "trumps" the Nationals.

I don't think Popkum holds any races, Whispering pines closed last year when the club lost their lease, don't know much about Prince George other than it is a long way from the BC mainland to draw spectators and Nanaimo the ferry could be a deterrent for the teams possibly

Popkum couldn't hold the capacity and yeah, the ferry is a significant added cost to the budget. Team or privateer, its expensive.

Cold Lake? That's going to be a long trip north for everybody!

Bring your fishing rod. Big lake (25 km or 18 miles across the lake).  With walleye, pike, whitefish, and Lake Trout. Military Air base at Cold Lake.

A-Mart retired and has a kid.

J-Mart was rumored for the 450 spot at Kawi. Nicoletti might come back up for Kawi. 

Dylan Walsh is the 250 rider for Walton Kawasaki.

Zach Osborne has kids, but it didn't work to get him to ride for MX101. Can't see that changing.

Just re-listened to that part - correction to my initial post - it said " come and see a different part of the world and bring my family" not "kids".

I had commented that I thought it might be Musquin, but now the comment is deleted? Maybe I was right?

Anyone with visibility on this? 

Seems odd the Marvin Musquin quote was deleted above.
