What do you guys think of Rockstar taking over sponsorship of the Canadian Nationals?

Good for Canada and Rockstar. I'm shocked this happened though because we're told 250 parity will run off all major teams (and by extension, sponsors). This is good news.

I like it. Hopefully it can help grow the series. I wish Manitoba was put back on the schedule as well but I don't know if any track owners here want the headache.

So, Honda ran off and bailed on their teams and the sport before the 250 2 strokes were allowed on equal footing and now that it's 250 / 250 cc/cc new major title sponsors are knocking on the door? No way!!!

Heck, if the "queen of spodes" gets it.....

Anytime someone wants to support the sport is good w/ me. I know a lot of people like to bitch and moan about the energy drinks "taking over the sport" but...when they put a lot of time and money into it, the racers have the means to stay on the track. I consider it a good thing, they're keeping the sport solvent. My opinion from the cheap seats...

I guess I missed the part in the press release where they selected the series because of the 250/250 parity.

I assume many of you will be moving to Canada soon. Enjoy, and let the frenzy continue.

Good news for our brothers up North. I think they have a cool series and I'm glad to see it getting some good sponsors involved.

For those who didn't know; Monster was the title sponsor for the past 7 years. They're just mixing things up and hopefully more money is coming in.

No need, I can race my RM250 in the 250 class here. I just can't ride it as good as a pro, and I'd love to see some professional 250/250 action south of the border.

Great for the sport, keeps it rolling, I'm guessing there might have been a bidding war, RockStar won. Stallyidiot still a neo nazi prick, I'm sure. Scooter OUT.

Rumour has it that Rockstar is trying to snag Metty away from Leading edge so they can have a good shot at winning the title (OTSFF Rockstar Yamaha). There could be a bidding war, and all in Metty's favour! Good for him.

Anyone know the schedule? Had a look but can't find it. If they have a round at Calgary again I might be able to make it. Which would be awesome.

It should take a few more months before they release a schedule.

Calgary will be on the schedule. It would be a major coo if it wasn't.
