The organizers of the Montreal Supercross are pleased to announce a joint program with the Quebec section of the Canadian Motorsport Racing Club to showcase up-and-coming motocross and ATV riders, the weekend of the Montréal Supercross where Jean-Sébastien Roy will give a final salute to his Montréal fans.

Seventy-five aspiring champions will tackle the Olympic Stadium course on the Friday night before the 31st edition, scheduled to take place Saturday, September 20.

"Hundreds of young kids, aged 6 to 12 years old, enter motocross competition on a regular basis across Québec," says Pierre Corbeil - Executive Producer of the event. "Among these kids, there are future champions like Jean-Sébastien Roy. These young hopefuls must be given the opportunity to showcase their skills and ride a professional course just to give them a taste of things to come. This is why we have decided to let them have a go on the Olympic Stadium course during an evening of racing. It will be their night. Who knows, maybe some will be the future stars of the Montréal Supercross several years down the road."

For this special night on Friday, September 19, the partners have decided to graciously offer track time on the Olympic Stadium course to each of the top 15 amateur riders in the final Québec 2008 standings in the 50 cc, 65 cc, 85 cc and Junior 125 cc motocross classes as well as to the best in the ATV intermediate class.

The list of the drivers will be known on September 15, the day after the final Quebec Championship race weekend. Each of the selected drivers will be allowed to invite a limited number of guests for this event. Even though this event will not be open to the public, members of the media are invited to come and find out more about these future champions and report on their performances.
