Matt McBride and all of Riders Choice would like to thank their sponsors that made the Mopar CSBK weekend at Shannonville Motorsport Park possible. Matt stayed protected all weekend long sporting his new Dainese D-Air Race Suit with built in air-bag system coupled with his trusty Arai Corsair helmet. Having the proper gear allows our racer to stay focused on the road. A Hindle Exhaust, Motul Oil, and parts distributor Motovan, got his bike race ready before the weekend. Special thanks to The Race Team - Jeff Bloor & Mike Ferguson for the hours logged!
It all started Tuesday morning at BMW Toronto, their wonderful staff and parts department were there to support Matt when he fired up the bike for the very first time and had the race program loaded. Some fine tuning at the shop and then Friday was the bikes first shakedown. Perfect. Come Saturday morning while hot and humid, Matt captured the fastest lap of the weekend at 1:04.246, and qualified second in the afternoon for the Mopar Pro Superbike class. Hot and humid once again on Sunday with a bad start, however with a strong push to the front, he led 17 laps, finally finishing 3rd place. Strong finish for a week-old bike!
Thank You To All Of The Supporters And Fans Out There!
