CMXU did a podcast with Dylan Wright, it came up on there. 

Just chatted with someone in the know who said the same. I wouldn't have thought he's ready or old enough for that yet.

I wonder if we’ll see a Ducati in Canada…? 

Maybe they could ship a coupl’a 450s to Nova Scotia and entice someone to give it a try…?

It would be cool to see a particular Nova Scotia rider with an Italian name 😉 race a Ducati! Tyler be a good brand ambassador.

Someone gets it.

Send him out on the Desmo450 MX for the MX series.

Then send him to Portugal for The Six Days to medal for Canada on the Desmo450 EDX.

Tyler would go.

Kyle Keast Takes Over at Walton Raceway

17637676906301581633863554193590

Walton Raceway, one of Canada’s most iconic motocross venues, is entering a new chapter as Kyle and Sophia Keast take over ownership this year. A lifelong motocross racer, Kyle and his wife Sophia are bringing their team’s skills, passion, and energy to build on Walton’s long and impactful legacy.

“This is such a cool opportunity for me, to take on this role in Canadian motocross,” said Kyle. “I went to my first TransCan as a kid on a Honda CR60. Now my own kids are racing. I want the TransCan Grand National Championship to stay the special event it has always been for racers and families. What we can bring is development of the infrastructure around the property and the race track itself. It is a special destination and we want it to grow.”

17637677367857758825885238359614

Brett Lee and Melody Hodgson see this transition as the natural next step for the raceway.

“For Melody and myself, we are still huge fans of moto. That is not changing,” said Lee. “We wanted to align with people who are as passionate as we are about creating an awesome space for people to enjoy. Kyle and Sophia share that passion. We are excited for what we will continue to bring to Canadian moto, to keep growing the Edge of Walton Challenge Course, and to support where we can to keep the Walton TransCan Grand National Championship and the Canadian Triple Crown Series finale as flagship events in Canada. Our goal is to see strong and successful years ahead.”

Exciting track and grounds improvements, expanded programming, and new initiatives built to broaden Walton’s future and keep racer and visitor experiences fresh are already in motion. Fans, families, racers, and industry partners can expect Walton’s 2026 season to deliver elevated experiences while maintaining the familiar Canadian destination it has been since 1972.

That's pretty big news. Keast purchased the facility outright? 

What of the Lees - and their Kawi team?

Water cooler talk I heard...

- Walton Kawasaki sold to AVL. Steve Simms stays on as Team Manager and has partial ownership.

- CMA is buying MRC. I'm not sure if MRC goes away and the natioanls are "CMA Sanctioned" or the MRC name stays.

- Kevin Tyler at MX101 is raising the price of hot dogs to help pay for fuel in the rig.

Are you sure about MRC? I saw the following pop up a few weeks ago.

From the email I got. 

"We’re excited to announce an updated schedule for the 2025 Triple Crown Series! This change has been made with racers and families in mind, allowing more time to rest and recover between amateur rounds while keeping the energy high for each stop on the tour.

The season officially kicks off in Calgary on June 7, and we can’t wait to see the gates drop as riders battle for the championship across Canada’s most iconic tracks."

Small chat with 2002 125 East Canadian Champion, Derrick Fisher. 

Sort of looks like Matt Damon. 😄
