From a press release:

Round one of the 2003 CAN-AM 125 Grand Prix Challenge series took place at Shannonville Motorsport Park on May 18, 2003.

The Nodell Motorsports Motorcycle racing team came into the weekend poised and focused on winning the race on their Bridgestone shod Canada Post/The Bear Chair Co. backed Honda RS125.

For Saturday’s timed qualifying session rider Stuart Nodell put the RS125 on the pole on the final lap of qualifying with a time of 1:11.01 followed by John Dempsey, Corey Sherman, and Jim Struke. Following the qualifying session Nodell commented “the team put me on an excellent motorcycle to get the job done”. With the starting grid set the team prepared for Sunday’s final.

The ten lap final was setting up to be an exciting event. At the start Nodell grabbed the holeshot and never looked back. By lap two Nodell was breaking away from the field and was able to maintain a pace that no one else could match. From that point Nodell was able to cruise home uncontested with a solid victory. Following the win Nodell stated, “With less than ideal track conditions the Bridgestone tires were superior, providing excellent grip.”

The Ben Gartner prepared RS125 worked flawlessly throughout the race and the team’s result was a perfect weekend.
