Calabogie casualties
Written by Larry Tate on Mon, May 26th, 2008
Calabogie, as wonderful a layout as it is, proved itself to be as
dangerous as many feared for the opening Parts Canada race of the
season. Guardrails and lack of run-off in key areas (the track was
designed with cars in mind) were a big concern ahead of time,
compounded by poor lines of sight due to the hilly nature of the
track.

Honda CBR125R Challenge
Written by Larry Tate on Mon, May 26th, 2008

lack of early entries leading Honda Canada to eventually drop all entry
requirements from what was originally supposed to be a kid’s road
racing entry class.

Neukirchner breaks his duck
Written by Larry Tate on Mon, May 12th, 2008
Max Neukirchner came within 0.009 seconds of taking his first double World Superbike win May 11, having already broken his duck (as they say) by winning the first race over the always-dangerous Noriyuki Haga — by 0.07 seconds.

CBR125 series underway
Written by Larry Tate on Tue, May 6th, 2008
While the race itself was in some ways a bit like watching a replay in slow-motion due to the speed of the bikes, the competition was intense as the new Honda CBR125 national series made its debut at the RACE Regional event May 4.
