Steven Anderson of Hillsburgh, ON, and Tanner Ward of Bright, ON both received Factory Rides at the Walton TransCan Amateur Motorcross Nationals on Aug 14-19.
Ward was initially awarded the prize on Saturday’s award ceremony after the Amateur races had concluded. However, a scoring error was found later and the points were re-calculated. The actual top Yamaha point getter was Steven Anderson.
“Unfortunately, there was a miscalculation that was out of our control and we originally awarded the final Factory Ride to Tanner”, said Bryan Hudgin, Marketing Supervisor and Race Director for Yamaha Motor Canada. Hudgin continued “After meeting Tanner, seeing his excitement and the Ward family’s dedication to Yamaha, I really struggled with the idea of taking the award back. So, we gave out two factory rides this weekend.”
Anderson tops in points with a total of 137 racing the MX1, MX2 and MX3 junior classes.
The Walton TransCan race week concluded the 2012 Factory Ride Award contest. Four winners across the country have won YZ’s of their choice and collected $2500 in parts and accessories for the 2013 race season.
Be sure to get on a Yamaha next year, you could win a factory ride!
