Tim Johnson, Fast Track Promotions, seen here on his motorcycle, will also be competing in the Superbike Championship

The Parts Canada Superbike Championship is setting down in Calgary in late June, thanks to local promoters Tim Johnson and Kel Davidson.  This will be the 27th superbike competition at Race City.  Only the Shannonville Motorsport Park in Ontario has hosted more.

 The 53-year-old Mr. Davidsen was an original Calgary Motorcycle Racing Association member when the club was founded in 1987 and served as its president from 2004 to 2007.

Mr. Johnson, 42, started racing with the CMRA in 1993 and was its president in 2008.   He also worked with PMP in its SunTrust Moto-ST Series in 2007.

“We both have experience putting on races,” Mr. Davidsen said. “We are still on the CMRA executive but we also wanted to ensure that Calgary stays on the national calendar. We are both able to put in a lot of effort to make this event a success. We have many ties in the industry and good relationships with other western clubs.”

“It is exciting to have experienced motorcycle racers and organizers like Kel and Tim looking after the Race City round,” said Colin Fraser of Professional Motorsports Productions, which organizes the Parts Canada Superbike Championship.

“The Alberta motorcycle community is important to us and we look forward to bringing our series back to Calgary this summer.”

The CMRA has a history of producing top Canadian racers and Cochrane’s Clint McBain finished second in last year’s Parts Canada Superbike Championship.

The June 25-28 national weekend will also include a doubleheader for the Honda CBR125R Challenge in co-operation with the Alberta Mini RoadRacing Association. One race will be held on the main Race City road course, while the second will be staged with the AMRA at the adjacent Varsity Chrysler Speed Park.
