Return to Crow Hill Motor Sports Park next stop
for Can-Am RMR Series
Presented by the New England Dodge Dealers
DERRY, NH (May 30, 2008)
- With summer just around the corner here in New
England, powersports enthusiasts are ready to
get back on their machines. The muddy conditions
of spring are gone, tracks are dried out and the
time to go racing has returned.
The sights and sounds of ATV racing return to
north-central Massachusetts this Sunday, June 1,
as Rock Maple Racing (RMR) prepares for Round 3
on the 11-race 2008 Can-Am Series schedule at
the beautiful Crow Hill Motor Sports Park in
Templeton.
Gates open at 8 a.m. and racing action begins
promptly at 9 a.m. Tickets are $10 per person
for adults, while children age 5 and under will
be admitted free. Food and beverages will be
available at the track from the Templeton Lions
Club.
Crow Hill Motor Sports Park is located on the
West Road. For easy access, take Exit 19 off
Rte. 2 West and follow Rte. 202.
The day’s program will begin with qualifying
action for all classes. These qualifying races
allow riders to learn quick lines around the
challenging track. It all builds to an exciting
climax at roughly 1 p.m. as Finals for all
classes begin. Riders from around the northeast
will be gunning for trophies and valuable points
as they chase the coveted class championships.
New this year for the Can-Am series is a division
between East and West points races, much like
RMR does with its snocross programs. This makes
it easier for teams to run for points titles
without the added expense of extra travel.
Also new is the addition of a Five-round series
for "Pit Bikes," which have become so popular in
the last few years. There will be eight classes,
broken down for Pro and Amateur riders and for
10-inch or 12-inch wheel diameter. RMR will
partner with the Pit Bike Racing Association
(PBRA) to bring this exciting new class into the
mix.
In the series' first two rounds of competition,
former Canadian national champion Jasmin Plante,
Matt Pomeroy and James Stowell have all posted
Pro division victories. Plante swept the season
opener at Hemond’s MX Park in Minot, Maine, on
May 11, while Pomeroy and Stowell split the
finals in Round 2 at New York’s Twister Valley
on May 18.
RMR’s Can-Am Series offers riders two separate
divisions in which to compete. The popular MX
division is for rear-wheel-drive, race-bred
machines, while the Utility division is for
entry-level riders with 4x4 or utility-style
ATVs. A separate course is built at select
events for 4x4 competition, known as the QuadTerrain Challenge. For specific events in
your area, check out the full schedule at

Local riders to watch this Sunday include the
riders from Stasvkelis Motorsports; John and
Nick Stasvkelis and James Handy, all from
Hubbardston, Massachusetts. Other locals include
Montana Jess (Westminster); Alex Parker
(Brimfield); Dave and Jill Walsh (Groton); Glynn
Desilva (Billerica) and Nick Reynolds (Dracut).
