Jam packed month so let's get started!


B-Maaxx + EnduroMaaxx #2

Conditions were perfect for the second B-Maaxx as the rain turned all the dust into nice tacky soil. The race was held in the track #51 with some nice new kinks into fresh wood at the end.

Owl's Head Quebec Cup #2

Owl's Head was back for 2016, and as tradition wants it, rain was there. The nice fresh track from saturday morning looked nothing like the track in which riders raced sunday afternoon. Rain was intermittent on race day, as the track got greasy and loose.

Val d'Irène Quebec Cup #3-4

Val d'Irène was a new location this year on the Quebec circuit, and it was a double race week-end. One race was held on saturday, and another one on sunday, on two different tracks. The first one was really steep, nearly a straight line to the bottom with fresh dirt and lots of roots. The second one was real fast and rough on top, and the bottom was flat-ish but really tight with trees everywhere.

1st race
Chapdelaine 11e elite
Thibodeau 14e elite
Ayotte 4e expert
Phaneuf 8e expert

2nd race
Chapdelaine 11e elite
Thibodeau 8e elite
