Mother Nature has not been very kind to our promoters who were supposed to present their Program in the month of January, and for this reason they were postponed and moved to the month of February.
So, here is the new calendar:
4-5 FÉV / FEB Manitowaning, Ontario, Canada (705) 859-3335
11-12 FÉV / FEB Boonville Snow Festival (315) 942-4756
17-19 FÉV / FEB Grand Prix Skidoo de Valcourt (450) 532-3443
25-26 FÉV / FEB Miwel/Toromont-Cat Bonnechere Cup & Canadian Vintage Championships (613) 628-3633
10-11 MARS / MARCH Grand Prix Desjardins de Roberval
We have signed a three-year Partnership agreement with CFMOTO Canada, who will supply us with 7 Snyper Side by Side’s https://www.cfmoto.ca/en/. Six of these vehicles will be lowered, studded, and equipped with all safety equipment for oval ice racing. CFMOTO will transport and maintain their machines to all of the races held in Canada. The Snypers will be used to help promote the Eastern Pro Tour racing circuit, and are offered to promoters to be used for media purposes during their event. At each EPT sponsored event we will present two friendly demonstration races which we call – The Celebrity Race & The Pros Race. Participants in The Celebrity Race will be media personalities such as journalists, TV presenters, radio hosts, etc., who will be chosen by the promoter of the race.
Participants in The Pros Race will be professional riders from different categories of motor racing from the area where the race is being held and will be chosen by the promoter.
These races will also have the mission to announce that for 2013 Eastern Pro Tour will include the Side by Side machines in its racing program.
For the 2012 season we are offering new classes; Factory 600, Outlaw 600, ATV 0 – 450cc, ATV Open. Even if, during several programs there were ATV races, these were not part of the EPT program and therefore not our responsibility but starting this year these classes will be under our complete supervision … safety check, mechanical inspection, points fund, membership card.
Here is the full list of classes being offered this season:
