Thanks to all of you for making the 06/07 OPBRL WPS such a great success. A special thanks has to go out to Robert for working with Enzo at 3s Gokarts to provide us with a full race schedule at this amazing Venue. With almost 70 registered racers in the current WPS, and the grids filling with new faces at every event. It was definately a great showing on the racers part. You have all expressed your love for the sport of pocketbike racing, and with the way things have been progressing in these past months, there is no imagining where this will all lead. Interest is shown in this sport across the globe, and it's just a matter of time before the sport is more widely recognized, and supported by the media and the public right here in Ontario, Canada.
With a variety of levels of interest, from our friends who came out to race with us to check things out for themselves, or the rider who's looking to take it to the next level and find the racer within him or herself, all the way to the hardcore, experienced and passion driven racers looking to battle for the championship, we have a place for everyone to find their home within the OPBRL. From those of us that are looking for the race of our lives on a pocket bike, to those who are looking to learn the skills required, there is a place for you on the starting grid with the OPBRL's offering of Expert, Amateur, Intermediate and Junior classes. Determining whether you are an expert or amateur is based on your past experience, and current level of performance. You will either be surprized at how fast you truly are in the Expert classes, or how much you need to learn in the less demanding Amateur classes. For most of you, you already have an idea of whether you are registering for amateur or expert, but if you are unsure, just ask, I am there to answer any of your questions, at any time, and I insist you ask if you are unsure of anything.
Pm me with any questions you may have at this time!
There might be changes made to some of the details, and will be completed in coming weeks. There are other details to come.
