The Canadian Superbike Championship’s history stretches all the way back to 1980, when Mississauga’s George Morin earned the inaugural National crown thanks to an early season win at the long departed Edmonton International Speedway. Last year, Saskatoon’s Brett McCormick celebrated his 20th birthday with a Championship-clinching win at the penultimate round of the Championship at Mosport International on Saturday.
For the past decade, the Mosport doubleheader has served as a showcase event for the series, with two National rounds per year at the popular venue. In 2012, the title battle in all the National classes will again be settled with two days of doubleheader race action at the legendary facility.
The 2012 Mopar Canadian Superbike Championship will include classes for the Feature Pro Superbike class, as well as Pro Sport Bike, Harley-Davidson XR1200 Cup, Amateur Superbike, Amateur Sport Bike and the brand new Honda CBR250R National Challenge series.
