Team East Wins 2010 Parts Canada Cup Canadian Amateur Motocross East vs West Shootout‏

LONDON,
ONT
(September 3, 2010) – Since 1992, The Parts Canada TransCan at Walton Raceway has
showcased the talents of Canada’s top
amateur motocross racers, as they compete for Canadian Motocross Grand National
Championships. A major feature that was incorporated 5 years ago into the
weeklong TransCan event was the Parts Canada Cup Canadian Amateur Motocross
East vs. West Shootout.

The
Parts Canada Cup Canadian Amateur Motocross East vs. West Shootout provides the
battle grounds as youth and amateur racers from the East Coast and West Coast
get a chance to race head to head. The intention of the Parts Canada Cup is to
find out which coast produces the fastest young riders, so their respective
team managers decide over the course of the week which amateur and youth riders
will wear the blue (west) or red (east) Parts Canada Cup bibs on the track in
between Pro races on Sunday. 

This
year Team East won the Parts Canada Cup by finishing 32 point in front of Team
West. The 2010 runner-up Western team manager was Gisele
DeKoninck of
Winnipeg, Manitoba, Gisele worked with amateur racer team captions,
Jess Petits and Cole DeKoninck to field their team of
40 racers. Team East was led by Eastern team manager Barry Hetherington of Port Perry, Ontario,
who worked with amateur racer team captions, Cody Richmond and Bradley Dool.

"We (Parts Canada) are thrilled to
have been involved (for the first time) with the Canada Cup at the Parts Canada
TransCan Walton weekend. It is such a fantastic exhibition of our Canadian
talent and it really offers us a preview of who to watch for in years to come.
But beyond seeing our future of motocross it is a fabulous way to bring our
riders together within our race community. We are very proud of this event and
of the managers and racers who participated in it."
