MIRABEL, QC -- Samuel Proulx of Magog, QC and Longueuil, QC racer Alex Coelho were winners of the first Amateur national events of the 2011 season at round one of the Canadian Superbike Championship by Parts Canada at Circuit ICAR.
Proulx led all the way in the Inside Motorcycles Amateur Sport Bike class to claim the victory on his Sherbrooke Harley-Davidson Suzuki GSX-R600, finishing 4.191 secs. ahead of Jean Francois Aubin of St-Jerome, QC on the Ricky Bobby Racing Team GSX-R600 and the Suzuki of Toronto's Edward Rudkowski.
In K&N Performance Filters Amateur Superbike Coelho worked his way into the lead on the Black Sheep / Elka Suspension Race Team Kawasaki ZX-6R and then pulled away to a 5.727-sec. triumph over the Suzuki GSX-R600 of Ryoun-Noranda, QC's Alain Lefebvre and Burlington, ON rider Jody Greening aboard the BFE / ProStar / Sturgess Cycle Honda CBR600RR.
The wins were the first national triumphs for both Proulx and Coelho.
Proulx started third on the Amateur Sport Bike grid but grabbed the lead off the start. The 10-lap race, shortened from a scheduled 14, was held on a damp but drying track and Proulx seemed to have the handle on conditions best in the early stages, opening up a lead of 10.262 secs. by half distance. But as the laps wound down Aubin, who had started fourth and worked his way up to second by lap two, started taking huge chunks out of Proulx's lead. He turned his fastest race lap on the eighth tour, a 1:34.622, by which point he was lapping up to two seconds a lap quicker than the leader. But on the final lap Proulx turned his fastest lap, a 1:35.279 to secure the win.
Philippe Bonin emerged in third by half distance and crossed the line in that position, but he was disqualified following post race tech for having unapproved electronic equipment on his bike. That elevated Rudkowski to third, while Stavros Grekos of Toronto edged fellow Kawasaki rider Coelho for fourth.
With the race distance shortened due to the conditions all finishers were awarded 40 points toward the championship.
Coelho only started ninth on the Amateur Superbike grid but quickly worked his way up to third place.
"I had a decent start and I made it through the pack into turn one and got into third place," he explained. "It seemed like as the race went on I gained momentum, but it was a hard and strenuous race -- this is a very physical track.
"I got the lead when I think the leader made a mistake going into turn two and I never looked back. The bike was well planted, the guys from Elka helped immensely."
Coelho turned the race's fastest lap on his final tour, a 1:27.270. The win was worth a $500 product bonus from series sponsor Mopar.
Lefebvre, who himself had started 10th and picked up the two-point bonus for leading the most laps, won a three-way fight for second at the line, edging Greening and Aubin. Brampton, ON's Trevor Daley took fifth on the Trevordaley Concepts Ducati 749.
After experiencing the thrill of victory on Saturday Kristopher Garvie was left with the agony of defeat on Sunday. The Garvie Racing / Canadian Kawasaki Motors rider had put his ZX-6R on pole for both Amateur races in his first national appearance. But he crashed while lying second on the opening lap of the Amateur Sport Bike race, remounted and went down again at the finish. He was unable to take part in the Superbike event later in the day.
