From a press release:

The 1st Annual AMRA & Stratotech Park Super Mini Bike Races

The Alberta Mini Roadracing Association and Stratotech Park are pleased to announce the 1st Annual Super Mini Bike Races. Stratotech Park is one of the finest road racing facilities in North America. It is located just outside of Fort Saskatchewan on highway 825. On July 24, 2004, from 8 AM to 5 PM, Stratotech Park will host the 1st Alberta Mini Roadracing Association Super Mini Bike races.

The Alberta Mini Roadracing Association is a non-profit group to promote amateur miniature motorcycle racing (up to 150 cc) in Alberta, for the purposes of recreation and fun, their objectives are to:

• Provide introduction to the amateur sport of motorcycling and motorcycle racing in a safe, closed environment without the greater speeds of full-sized motorcycle racing;

• Foster development and improvement of racing skills at all levels from beginner to expert;

• Provide an environment in which our young members can learn and be coached from our more experienced members;

• Foster camaraderie and sportsmanship amongst its members;

• Promote a positive image of motorcycle racing in regards to safety, technique and attitude;

• Provide the opportunity to participate in motorcycle roadracing without the greater expense of full-sized motorcycle racing, by operating in a non-profit manner that strives to minimize member costs while ensuring a viable, economically stable association.

This will be a special event as it will be the official introduction in Canada to two of newest race bikes to be sold in Canada, the Honda NSR 50 and the Metrakit Mini GP XL “Cup” bike.

The bikes raced by the AMRA range from 50cc for beginners, to the formula 80 bikes for the seasoned vet. All classes will be present and visible to the public. New for the 2004 season the AMRA is offering a youth road racing series, kids from the age 8-10 will dice it up on the top portion of the track on 50cc (xr50’s) mini bikes or 2.5 and 4.5 restricted hp pocketbikes.

There is no entry fee for visitors, all we ask is that you bring a donation for the Food Bank.

Dealers of all makes and models are welcome to attend Stratotech Park for the event and set up a booth. The only fee required to set up the booth is a mini related prize that will be awarded at the event.

Dealers can bring bikes and products to this event to show to the public or race, the only requirement is that the items are used in one of the classes raced by the AMRA and must pass tech inspection.

If you wish to race, your bike must fall into a race category, have the proper safety gear and you must purchase a CMA membership.
