    Wow...... Thanks for stopping in

    The response to SOAR at both shows this year is astronomical and very humbling for myself and the rest of the SOAR crew. The booth has been packed every day of both shows. We signed more licenses at these shows that we had in total last year with nearly 50% as new racers.
    If last years statistics hold true for this year with only 1/3 of the riders buying at the show SOAR will be the biggest series in Canada with the highest purse paid on top of contingency monies.
    Amazing the growth in one year.
    Its heart warming to see our family (riders) gathering at the booth, greeting each other with hugs and hanging out for hours. We have truly become the series I had always hoped for.
    All you SOAR racers coming out in 2010 better eat your Wheaties its going to be tough. As it looks now we will have two heats in 600 Extreme, Rookie, and likely Old Boy. When is the last time you heard "Consi" mentioned in reference to motorcycle racing in Canada?
    In addition to our regular fair we have a class added for kids to get a start. Its called NuSpeed check the site for details. We have been signing many more women and our Formula Femme class is online to be very strong, especially with the addition of a Women's Cup Challenge round with us in June. The roadrace quads are also starting to gather some interest under the direction of muli champ and Pike's Peak regular Jim Goertz.
    I cant wait.
    For all who came by thank you for your support it confirms our direction is inline with what you guys want.

    If you didn't need to take the school and signed up just for a license, you should have gotten it right at the show. If you need to take the school, you get your license when the school is completed.

    Great to see the response also, it will be a fun filled and hectic first year of racing for me.

    Now I've got to get 10 seconds off my lap times. Oh Boy!

    Does this mean you will be putting a bike(s) on the grid(s) in SOAR next season?

    Ken and staff deserve all the accolades they have been getting. Most aren't aware of the work behind the scenes but all are certainly appreciative. Thanks for the plak - up on my wall of fame and really unexpected. See you at the banquet.
