Matechuk wins thrilling XR1200 event

By John Hopkins

MIRABEL, QC -- Cody Matechuk held off six-time Canadian Superbike champion Steve Crevier in a thrilling battle for the win in the opening round of the Harley-Davidson XR1200 Cup at Circuit ICAR on Sunday. The race was part of the first weekend for the Canadian Superbike Championship by Parts Canada.

Matechuk had qualified on pole aboard his Privateers Harley-Davidson-backed entry and at the start of the race the Cochrane, AB teenager bolted into the lead with Crevier and Darren James close behind. Crevier grabbed the top spot on lap 8 of the 14-lap race, only to have Matechuk snatch it back two laps later. While James dropped back from the lead battle, Crevier hung close and at the finish the margin of victory was only 0.168 secs.

"We got in some track time on Thursday and that helped a lot," Matechuk said. "We made a change after qualifying last night and that definitely helped. I knew someone was there with me, I wasn't sure if it was Darren or Steve. It doesn't matter who I'm racing with, I want to go for the win."

Matechuk received the Performance Under Gear Performer of the Race for his winning effort and also set the race's fastest lap, a 1:28.922 on the penultimate tour.

Riding the MotoSport Plus of Kingston-backed entry, Crevier often showed Matechuk a wheel into turn one, and the Maple Ridge, BC racer may have lost his best shot at the win on the last lap, when the leaders encountered a gaggle of slower traffic.

James appeared to lose ground in lapped traffic on lap 11 and finished 7.640 secs. behind the top two on his Ruthless Racing / Deeley Harley-Davidson Canada XR1200. The North Vancouver racer was proudly flying the flag of his hometown Canucks on his transporter as they prepare to play for the Stanley Cup, starting Wednesday.

Fourth spot went to Samuel Proulx of Magog, QC after a quiet run on his Sherbrooke Harley-Davidson-backed machine, and Chris Harmon was fifth from lap two on aboard his XR1200 backed by Vision Harley-Davidson out of Repentigny, QC.

Stacey Nesbitt won a soggy second round of the Honda CBR125R Challenge on Sunday. The 14-year-old St-Lazare, QC rider moved up from fifth on the grid to lead at the end of the opening lap and she stayed in front the rest of the way for her first career series win.

Saturday's race winner Eric Green initially hounded Nesbitt and briefly took the lead on lap eight, only to crash out of the race seconds later.

Seth Van Dongen of Belle River, ON was second, 27.087 secs. behind and Stoney Creek, ON's David MacKay placed third. All three podium finishers enjoyed career high results, and it was MacKay's first ever weekend in the CBR Challenge.

Nesbitt now leads the class standings after two races with 81 points, 12 more than Austin Shaw-O'Leary, who finished second on Saturday but placed sixth on Sunday.

Proulx and Coelho nab Amateur wins

By John Hopkins

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.

Trombino back in winner's circle

By John Hopkins

MIRABEL, QC -- Frank Trombino found his way back to the top of a Canadian national road race podium on Sunday, taking victory in the Pirelli Pro Sport Bike Championship event that was part of the Canadian Superbike Championship by Parts Canada at Circuit ICAR.

The 38-year-old Woodbridge, ON veteran led all 10 laps of the race, which was shortened from a scheduled 14 due to wet track conditions, on his Suzuki Canada / Hindle / Sturgess Cycle Suzuki GSX-R600, finishing 36.676 secs. ahead of the JHP Racing Team / Picotte Motorsport Suzuki GSX-R600 of impressive rookie Pro Jeremie Hade Precourt.

Sean Huffman completed the podium on his Pro 6 Cycle Honda CBR600RR. The Kemptville, ON racer made a last lap pass of Terrebonne, QC’s Raphael Archambault to secure the third place finish.

The victory was Trombino's first national win since he took the Superbike opener at Shannonville Motorsport Park in 2002, and he gave part of the credit to his persistence in practicing in the rain on Friday and Saturday, when most of his rivals remained in the pits.

"I think that was about 50 percent of it," he admitted. "The track has a slightly new configuration, especially into turns one and two, and I was trying to get used to it."

With no qualifying and not even a suitable practice session to use for times to establish a grid, the Pro Sport Bike field was lined up based on past performance and experience. Last year's class runner-up Jodi Christie lined up on pole on the Jodi Christie Racing Honda CBR600RR, joined by Trombino, Alex Welsh (Z1 CycleTech Suzuki GSX-R600) and Darren James (Ruthless Racing / Deeley Harley-Davidson Canada Buell 1125R).

Trombino grabbed the lead off the start with Welsh giving chase, and these two pulled clear of the field in the early laps. It looked like Welsh was going to give Trombino plenty of trouble but near the end of lap five the Uxbridge, ON racer slid off on the tricky surface, leaving Trombino with a comfortable 20-second lead. Welsh had turned his fastest lap of the race on the previous tour.

"I knew someone was behind me [in the early laps] but I wasn't sure who," Trombino explained. "Once he was gone I just tried to stay focussed. I didn't want to ease up too much and lose my concentration."

Hade Precourt started on the third row but by lap two was part of a group contesting third place, led by Christie. The Granby, QC rider worked his way to the front of this pack by lap four and then assumed second when Welsh went down. The 17-year-old was lapping almost three seconds off the pace of the remarkable Trombino, but almost a second faster than anyone else on the track.

"It was a lot of work getting by those guys," said last year's national Amateur Sport Bike runner-up. "But once I got a bit of a gap I was able to pull clear."

Christie went down on lap seven, leaving Huffman and Archambault to battle for the last podium spot. Huffman got by last year's Amateur Sport Bike champion halfway around the final lap for his first national podium finish.

"There was a lot of standing water at the start but as the race went on there was a bit of, not a dry line, but a good racing line developing," Huffman said. "I had a good run on Raphael out of the Esses and I was able to get him just after that."

Archambault settled for fourth on the Archambault Suzuki / Parts Canada Racing Suzuki GSX-R600 and James ran a lonely race to fifth.

Christie remounted after his fall to take sixth and Welsh also rejoined, salvaging eighth.

Due to the track conditions and with the race distance reduced, all 12 finishers were awarded 40 points toward the Pro Sport Bike standings. With no qualifying points awarded, everyone is on even footing heading to the doubleheader at Shannonville Motorsport Park July 1-3.
