    "Comeback." To morning practice.— :unsure:

    SMP owner John Bondar's update (May 17, 2021)

    Gotta hand it to the guy for actually making a video to update racers. Nitpick: at the ~ 0:35 sec MARK, he notes that track workers have been diligently picking up rocks in the run-off area of T7 (track layout unspecified but it doesn't matter because they're all over the place.) This should...

    2020 CSBK Season cancelled?

    Re: today's CSBK press release — CSBK - CSBK targeting Calabogie launch for revised 2020 season Ok. No spectators at CMP. Check. So now we're looking at a revised four-round 2020 season, with Rnd #1 at CMP on July 25. Check. Rnds #2, 3, and 4 are...? <insert void> The level of...

    2020 CSBK Season cancelled?

    CTMP just announced that the CSBK's pandemic-revised single-header Round #2 has been cancelled. (Round #1 at Shubi at the end of the month isn't happening.) This via CTMP email alert: "The annual Superbike DoubleHeader [sic?] has also been cancelled due to COVID-19. The weekend provides...

    2020 Season -- Will the pandemic end it?

    So...going forward...what becomes of CSBK/PMP? Given: this year's a wreck. The operation has low overhead and will presumably be back in full in 2021. If Round #1 of X *this year* is Shubie, that's going to be interesting. It's a gruelling course, as was pointed out earlier. If you aren't in...

    2020 Season -- Will the pandemic end it?

    Wouldn't know where to begin! But I would volunteer my services as PR guy, and resign if muted.

    2020 Season -- Will the pandemic end it?

    Yes. And sad, too. Wonder where the pressure was coming from, cuz I didn't hear any around here: ------- “There has been pressure to make announcements sooner, but ongoing developments with the COVID crisis means it is very hard to predict how summer will look in terms of spectator events,”...

    Some good background on current CSBK *for-profit* owners: PMP's Colin Fraser & Pat Gonsalves. https://canadamotoguide.com/2020/01/31/forty-years-of-canadian-superbike/

    2020 Season -- Will the pandemic end it?

    You don't care? Then buzz off. I care because a series I love has completely failed from a public-relations point of view. What are we left with? A diplomatic forum moderator doing his best, and a lame-ass magazine that can't even bother to get a freaking statement from CSBK...

    2020 Season -- Will the pandemic end it?

    Dude, this isn't about chest puffing. All I want is for CSBK to issue a statement. Silence since March 7. Pathetic.

    2020 Season -- Will the pandemic end it?

    Mr. Bondar has been much better at PR than CSBK. But Bondar has more balls in the air — he's got a few series AND a physical track to deal with. CSBK is just a series. As is SOAR. Less to deal with. They don't operate tracks. Which makes their silence appear especially lame-ass. I say they...

    A pro-silence corp comm strategy. I like it!

    Welcome to the club, friend! I'm still waiting for a "Stand by, gents!" from the CSBK...

    2020 Season -- Will the pandemic end it?

    Dude, one needn't be an active racer to have an opinion on how CSBK is conducting itself. Obviously the CSBK is waiting, as you say. Nothing stopping it from issuing a statement, even if just to say, "Stand by, dear racers. We know you've invested thousands into the upcoming season, have made...

    2020 Season -- Will the pandemic end it?

    Brian, I appreciate and applaud your diplomatic nature. My beef is with CSBK for saying *nothing*. At this stage, *you* are their lay spokesman. Not acceptable.

    2020 Season -- Will the pandemic end it?

    Not . Gonna. Happen. We all know it. Why doesn't CSBK tell us? Dereliction of duty to inform. Plain and simple. Say *something*, CSBK, ffs. Total joke.

    2020 Season -- Will the pandemic end it?

    "Although MotoAmerica and VIR worked diligently to find an alternative date, the task proved impossible. MotoAmerica, however, is still working toward holding a 10-event schedule." Meanwhile, at CSBK, zzzzzzz..... https://motoamerica.com/2020/04/motoamerica-forced-to-cancel-vir-round/
