From a press release issued by series promoters:

SUPERBIKES AT SUPPER TIME

TORONTO, ON – Motorcycle racing fans will be able to enjoy a little Superbike with their supper this Fall.

The Parts Canada Superbike Championship will be shown on the Outdoor Life Network from 6:00-7:00 pm EDT on Thursday nights beginning with the season opener from Shannonville Motorsport Park on Sept. 19. The eight-week series will conclude Nov. 7 with the final round, also from Shannonville.

The hour-long programs will provide the most extensive television coverage of the 2002 season. As well as race action from the featured Parts Canada Superbike class, the shows will include expanded coverage of the International Motorcycle SUPERSHOW Open Sport Bike and Yoshimura 600 Sport Bike national support classes. There will also be personality and technical features.

The programs will be hosted by TSN motorsport voice Vic Rauter and Colin Fraser of series organizer Professional Motorsport Productions.

“A lot of race fans enjoy the in depth coverage and added features of the one-hour program,” Fraser said. “The early evening timeslot will make it easy for our viewers to see the races and relive the key moments of a dramatic season.”

The shows will air from 3:00-4:00 am EDT each Thursday morning as well.

The Parts Canada Superbike Championship is also shown in a half-hour format on TSN and French language RDS. Next up is the penultimate round of the series from Atlantic Motorsport Park, which will debut on RDS Sept. 1 at 1:30 pm and on TSN Sept. 14 at 12:00 pm.

The Parts Canada Superbike Championship concludes at Shannonville this weekend. Brantford, ON’s Jordan Szoke has already clinched the 2002 title for Coors Light Racing/Fast Company Team Suzuki but will try to claim his sixth consecutive race win, which would establish a new record.
