The ADRA has added a new class, ATV Junior, to the Provincial, SOAB Spring & Fall and the ATV Triple Crown Series. ATV Jr. will be for riders that are no longer Beginner and not yet Intermediate. A rider will be moved automatically to the ATV Jr. class once he/she has accumulated 12 advancement points in the ATV Beg. class or a rider can move him/herself up anytime prior to acquiring the 12 advancement points by advising the ADRA office. Once moved up a rider cannot move back. It is the riders responsibility to ride in the correct class for their skill level. The new ATV Jr. class will be a recognized class, therefore, Series trophies and prizes will be awarded.
ATV Beginner will no longer be a recognized class, therefore no Series trophies and prizes will be awarded. Trophies will be awarded at each event throughout the season. Please note that the ATV Beg. class will receive Series trophies and awards for the 2010 SOAB Spring Series because the decision to not recognize ATV Beg. was made after the Spring Series started.

ATTENTION RIDERS
There have been some changes made regarding the Provincial MX Series. Mark Stallybrass of CMRC has decided to host two one day provincials on June 12 and June 19 at the Pro Nationals in Edmonton and Calgary. These events will run a modified provincial schedule. The modified schedule will not include ATV's or Pros. Click here for the Edmonton schedule, and here for the Calgary schedule. Two of the Triple Crown ATV races scheduled (June 12 - Westlock & June 19 - Taber) will be held on the same dates as the 1 day Provincial races. These two Triple Crown races will now be considered part of the Provincial series for the ATV's. Provincial Series points as well as Triple Crown points will be awarded for the recognized ATV provincial classes.
We apologize for any conflict that this might incur.

Top End Promotions Inc. (Gerry and Heather Nelson) have been hosting the Western Canadian Amateur National Motocross Championships (WCAN) at Temple Hill Motorcycle Park since its inception in 1998. The time has come, Gerry and Heather have decided to retire from the event. In doing so they want to thank the riders, sponsors, volunteers, the Lethbridge Motorcycle Club and the Over the Bars Club, who all have helped over the past 12 years to make this event a reality and the highlight of each racing season. The annual event gave Temple Hill Motorcycle Park the recognition it deserved as one of the top ranked tracks in Canada.
To that end, to continue the legacy of Temple Hill and in the spirit of a Club atmosphere, the Lethbridge Motorcycle Club and the Over the Bars Club are excited to announce that together, they are taking over the management and hosting of the Western Canadian Amateur National Motocross Championships, starting this year with the 13th Annual WCAN, June 30, July 1-3, 2010.
