Heights of Horseshoe is a storied location, once the location of the only Canada Cup DH race held in Ontario. This course has turned into a perennial favorite due to its unique loamy and sandy soil. Everyone has an opinion on which tires to use here, so what will you choose!Words by Peter Appleton Sirbikealot Racing

The Sirbikealot Racing course building crew led by Shane Joachim (Ben, Taylor, Calib, Kyle etc) has yielded an amazing new lower course for Horseshoe in 2009. This new section is full of rock gardens, pump sections, hip jumps and flat turns. This will no doubt put Horseshoe on the map as one of the most challenging course in the 2009 series.
