I for one want to say Kudos to Ken for all of his efforts to date to make the SOAR Series a reality and bring accessible , reasonable cost racing to Ontario
After talking to Ken, Jenn and Vanessa at the bike shows I have no doubt that it will be a great year.
After talking to Vanessa, My Wife is going to be Marshaling and possibly my teenage daughter since the Kids are going to be dragged to the track anyways.
With John Bickle in charge of Safety, you know things will be done right. Will all be to MotoGP Standards, Not Likey due to the cost of such track improvements but with more utilization to the track comes more revenue to allow future improvements.
Hopefully the Zoomius system will be in place so racers don't have to incur the expense of a $400+ transponder that will likely be obsolete very soon.
Will everything be perfect,, No.. But considering the attitudes of everyone in charge I know any valid concerns will be addressed.
The idea of a rental bike program is very intriguing if that can be worked out. The program in California run by Racebikerentals.com with 250R Ninjas and their Ninja Cup series looks like a terrific one bike series. And having bikes available for lapping days will encourage a lot of people to try the track that would likely never have otherwise.
Will the track surface be flawless,, No, This is Canada after all with the freeze and thaw cycles that play havoc with any paved surface but learning the track and having your suspension set up to accommodate the irregularities of the surface are all part of riding and racing.
