Key word here is 'provisional' I think.
I really hope they do GB. Running Pro600 with umbrella boys next year was my goal
Do SOAR folks usually race the national? My understanding was there's been very few of you folks on the grid in the past few years.
More Pros than amateur usually show up at the home track. Last year Superbike was almost won by Steven Nickerson.
For amateurs it's a lot harder to convince yourself to do it as the one weekend is way more expensive than a regional round. That and most amateurs race 600s at SOAR, where csbk allows V2s and 750s in that class, so 600s don't really have a chance.
I know my sub 100hp 600 will get smoked, but also pretty confident I wouldn't be last in the pro field. I just wanted to do it for the pre-grid roll out.
Pro Superbike- 4/15 were full time SOAR riders
Pro sport bike - 5/16 were full time soar riders
Am superbike- 1/9
Am sport bike- 1/7
Pro/am lwt- 1/11
Twins-0
Comparison to Alberta
4/13 Superbike
6/13 Sportbike
2/8 am superbike
3/7 am Sportbike
1/8 pro am lwt
2 twins
I think this is more about CSBK trying to break out of their "Ontario National Championship" aura that everyone has said over the year.
Fact of the matter is nobody wants to pay to join a national to finish in the back of the pack. It's easy to be a big fish in a small pond.
Like I said, more Pros than Am.
Pro 600 had 6 Soar racers and Pro Super had 5.
Yes the amateur numbers were quite a bit lower than previous years. Am600 did have 3 from soar. 1 did opt to do the full csbk calendar last year.

5 rounds was the norm until last year. Ending at Mosport in August has happened a few times. 6 rounds with all the travel is very expensive.

Fair enough. I mostly stopped paying attention when I lived in BC, as it might as well have been BSB for how local it was. I can also see why Calabogie is off the calendar, as it's a trackday track, not an event track. Would still love GB to repair their grandstand, though, as it's good enough and certainly has the sightlines.
All in all, would love to see a GB round added and a traditional closer at Shannonville, but can understand why it's been shortened in Ontario to accommodate the Alberta rounds.
