The final round of the 2025 Bridgestone CSBK National tour took place at historic Canadian Tire Motorsport Park last weekend, and the Canadian Motorcycle Hall of Fame were fully involved. The purpose of the Hall’s support of the event was to promote the upcoming 18th annual Gala Awards Banquet at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum on Saturday night, October 25. The facility, home to a wide variety of historic flying machines, is located at 9820 Airport Road, Mount Hope, right beside the John C. Munro Hamilton Airport.
The Hall of Fame supported the Hard Charger Award for the middleweight Pro Supersport category, the class where Alberta’s teenaged sensation Torin Collins has built his reputation during the 2025 season.
At “old Mosport,” Collins switched from Suzuki to Economy Lube and Tire Ducati Desmo and won first time out Saturday, while former two-time class Champ “T.V. Tommy” Casas returned to the division aboard a FAST Riding School Suzuki and earned a solid second, and the Canadian Motorcycle Hall of Fame Hard Charger Award.
Sunday’s Supersport national was shortened by incidents, and outgoing champion Sebastien Tremblay earned victory for the Turcotte Performance Suzuki effort. In the final Supersport race of 2025, the Canadian Motorcycle Hall of Fame Hard Charger Award went to Mavrick Cyr, a star in CSBK as an Amateur in 2023 and as a rookie Pro last season. Cyr, who has mostly raced in the U.S.A. in 2025, was on a Tremblay-built Suzuki GSX-R750, finishing fourth after qualifying seventh.
On Saturday evening, the Canadian Motorcycle Hall of Fame hosted a preview event in the hospitality facility at CTMP, in support of three individuals that work in the paddock at Bridgestone CSBK: Brooklin Cycle Racing’s Rob Egan, Fast Company BMW Motorrad Alex Dumas Team principal Scott Miller and series announcer Frank C. Wood.
TSN Television coverage host Marshall Ferguson was the master of ceremonies and asked Egan about the famous Suzuki Katana on display that Paul MacMillan took to the 1984 number one plate. Miller spoke of his time in Kitchener area dealerships and building bikes for local aces like Mark Kowalski, while Wood remembered his early days in national Flat Track action in the early 1970s.
