From a press release issued by Go Big Racing: GO BIG RACING TO CEASE OPERATIONS (Hamilton, ON) – April 2, 2007 – After a highly successful 2007 season, Go Big Racing has announced it will cease all operations. Despite its best efforts in the off-season, the team was unable to secure adequate sponsorship for the 2008 season. The All-Canadian team operated by Paul Glenn and Ross Millson have decided to part ways effective immediately. “It’s not something anyone wanted to see happen.” said Millson, “but after some lengthy discussions we felt this was the best solution for this team and it’s members, to salvage the season as individuals.” “We were in talks with a number of outstanding companies about marketing with the team and were confident new sponsors were imminent.” stated Glenn. “However, due to the the rise of the Canadian dollar and the economic outlook for 2008 many of the opportunities were sidelined.” In the US-based SunTrust Moto-ST Endurance series, the Go Big Racing squad finished on the Sport Twins (ST) podium in all but one of the six events in last year’s title chase. The team managed to take the title battle down to the last race at Daytona, finishing second overall in Sport Twins Championship. In the 2007 Parts Canada Superbike Championship Paul Glenn was crowned the 2007 National Amateur Champion. Ross Millson had a strong pro debut, finishing third in the Pro Rookie chase and 11th overall in Superbike final points standings. A season that also saw Go Big Racing’s 13 year old Development Rider, Steven Nickerson chosen from over 600 applicants to compete for one of 20 spots in the 2008 Red Bull AMA U.S. Rookies Cup. Millson looks to continue his association with Nickerson throughout 2008. All of this would not have been possible without the support of our past sponsors, friends and family members for whom the team will always be grateful.
