The hometown race for the team at Gopher Dunes is always a special one.  The fans come rain or shine and fill the facility to cheer on the local Honda Canada/GDR/Fox Racing team which is based out of the facility.  The race team treats the fans to a special edition race bike each season and this year’s bike didn’t disappoint, a 1992 Pro Circuit/Peak Honda replica. 

Dylan Wright #12 – MX2:

With his training program now based out of the Gopher Dunes facility this season, Dylan Wright had big expectations to race for his third victory of the season.  But the all new layout at The Dunes wasn’t forgiving and made struggles for everyone.  In Moto 1, Dylan had a bad jump with his start and went down in the pack on lap one.  Coming around lap one in 9^th place, Dylan worked his way into 3^rd place by the finish.  In Moto 2, Dylan got an even worse start and went down again, starting lap one in 32^nd place he had to battle back to 6^th place, giving him 4^th overall on the day.

“It’s not how I wanted my home weekend at The Dunes to go, but that’s why this track is what it is. Bad starts put you in bad spots out there.” – Dylan Wright. 4^th Overall

Colton Facciotti #45 – MX1

With the series leading red plate in his possession, Colton Facciotti is aiming for consistency to ride out his season with podium finishes.  Now his home base as well, Facciotti makes the rough track of Gopher Dunes look buttery smooth at times.  In Moto 1, Colton led the opening laps before settling back into the 3rd place position for the remaining sixteen laps.  In Moto 2, Facciotti again started up front and battled in the lead pack until lap six, where he would settle back into the 3^rd place position for the remaining eleven laps.  Another consistent overall podium finish for Facciotti extending his points lead to 25 points with three races remaining.

“It’s just good to make it out of this race on the podium, I love this place but it’s hard work sometimes.” – Colton Facciotti. MX1 3^rd Overall/MX1 series leader

Upcoming Race:

The next stop of the MX Tour is on the beautiful Atlantic Coast. The Riverglade MX Park, which is 200km from the Halifax International Airport, is located in Moncton New Brunswick, directly parallel the busiest road in Canada, The Transcanada Highway.  A hard base track with very high speed corners, throttle control and rut precision is key for a win at “The Glade.”

Upcoming Racewear:

At Round 7 in Riverglade, the Honda Canada/GDR/Fox Racing team will be showcasing Fox Racing MX19 product for the first time of the season for public viewing – Stay tuned for your first look at it in race action!
