SNOCROSS RACING AT GRAND PRIX SKI-DOO DE VALCOURT:
February 12, 2009
QUÉBEC’S TIM TREMBLAY PLANS TO SHINE ON HIS HOME TURF
Release: GRAND PRIX SKI-DOO DE VALCOURT- Valcourt, February 10, 2009 – If there is a year where a local snocross driver may shine in front of his fellow Québec fans and dominate his American and English Canadian opponents at the Grand Prix Ski-Doo de Valcourt, it’s 2009. This native Quebec driver who turned 23 last November, must be Tim Tremblay, a name currently on the lips of anyone following the North Americam snocross scene. A native of Sainte-Jeanne d’Arc, a tiny village located a few kilometres east of Dolbeau in the Lac Saint-Jean area of Québec, the Ski-Doo driver has been simply impressive since early January on the AMSOIL ISOC series courses and is expected to be just as good, the weekend of the championship 6th leg, February 20, 21 and 22, in Valcourt.
With two wins, two second, a 4th, a 7th and a 8th place finishes since the beginning of the 2008-2099 season, Tremblay is engaged in a fierce battle for Semi Pro Open title against American Christian Salemark, Bobby Lepage and Dan Ebert; and Cory Davis, Dylan Martin and the same Ebert for the Semi Pro Super Stock title. In the Open class, he is currently 3rd, 15 points behind the leader while he is a strong 2nd, just 5 points away from the firs rank in Super Stock. If Tremblay maintains his pace at the last meeting before Valcourt, this coming weekend in the Finger Lakes region of New York, he may show up in the World’s snowmobile capital as the leader of both Semi Pro classes.
