Supermoto series hits Quesnel

From RPM Supermoto

VANCOUVER, BC -- Just two rounds remain after an action-packed start to the 2008 RPM Supermoto Championship. Riders will battle for every last championship point as round five takes them to Quesnel in British Columbia’s interior and round six draws the region’s best to the Fraser Valley to compete for the title of CMA Canadian Supermoto Champion.

Round five takes place Sunday, Aug. 10 at the Quesnel Kart Track. The race will be supermoto’s debut in British Columbia’s interior and organizers hope the event will bring out a flood of dirt bike riders both to the race track and to the stands.

Round six is the final race of the RPM season and also the CMA Canadian Supermoto Championship. The CMA championship is a stand-alone championship round held Sunday, Aug. 24 at Tradex Trade and Convention Centre in Abbotsford.
