1984-1986 Moto Park Grand Prixs

By the late 70’s the Golden Years of Canadian Motocross had come to an end, as did the boom years of Motorcycle Sales in Canada. The last Motocross Grand Prix had been held at Mosport in 1979. During the mid 80’s thru the mid 90’s sales of Motorcycles plummeted from more than 100,000 units per year to as low as 20,000.

Carl Bastedo had been successful in promoting both a series of National Consumer Motorcycle Shows throughout Canada starting in 1977 as well as Supercross starting in 1980 at Exhibition Stadium in Toronto. Bringing a World Championship Motocross Grand Prix back to Canada was a natural evolution in his mind.

Any Motorsport event requires major sponsorship in order to be successful, this is the way it is all over the World. The Supercross events actually took in more in sponsorship than they did at the gate. The financial success of the Canadian Grand Prix was doomed from the beginning as Yamaha Canada was the only major company to sponsor the event.

In spite of this, a great event was put together in 1984 on an extended Motopark track. Hundreds of loads of dead sand carved out of a “honey hole” found on the property re-surfaced the entire track. Huge D8 bulldozers where brought in to reshape the woods at the south end of the property revealing huge hills and drop offs which where a part of any GP track of the era.

Hospitality wasn’t generally a part of the travelling GP Circus at the time and Motopark was one of the first to introduce a deck overlooking the track with décor and waiters serving up Steak dinners for the local and GP VIP’s in attendance. The Township Reeve and council members where in attendance and Ontario’s Solicitor General arrived for the opening ceremonies via Helicopter which landed in the front yard of Carl’s house.

More than 3,500 spectators paid to get in bringing total attendance close to 5,000. It was the most people seen at a Motocross race in Canada since the great 500cc GP at Copetown in 1975.

All the buzz in the pits was how Canada’s Ross Pederson would fare against the GP regulars, 13 of whom made the trip. Chuckles throughout the pits as the Euro’s looked over Ross’s RM500 “Motocross” bike. On the track it was a different story as Ross challenged many of them finishing top Canadian in 4th place while Glen Nicholson, also on the RM500, was next Canadian garnering 10th.

The podium at the 1984 Grand Prix of Canada was made up of Belgian riders. The victory went to Georges Jobe (Kawasaki) followed by Andre Malherbe (Honda) and Eric Geobers, also on a Honda.

In 1985 the FIM requested that Motopark run a non points paying 250 c.c. GP as the US GP at Unadilla was the following week and they felt the European riders would like to spend the week prior acclimatizing themselves to North America. Only 4 Euro’s made the trip led by Gert Jan Van Doorn who battled with Ross Pederson taking first in Moto 1. Van Doorn suffered a flat tire in Moto 2 allowing Pederson to take the win and become the first Canadian to win a Canadian Grand Prix. American Honda’s Darryl Shultz also showed up in 1985. Shultz finished with a DNF in moto one and 3rd behind Pederson and Doug Hoover in moto 2.

Financially, the Grand Prix’s proved to be to much of a drain and Motopark informed the CMA in the fall of 1985 that it would not run another 500 c.c. World Championship round in 1986. The CMA felt obligated to produce the event and took the production over with agreement that the event would be held at Motopark.

The last Motocross Grand Prix in Canada was held in sweltering heat. The event was well produced but poorly attended. On the Podium in 1986 were Belgians Andre Malherbe, and Eric Geobers while Great Britain’s David Thorpe rounded out the top 3. Top Canadian that year was Doug Hoover and Glen Nicholson in 9 and 10th. Ross Pederson was not entered, I suspect he was injured.

It was the end of an era and the entire World GP Circuit went into a slump during the late 80’s and 90’s as Motorcycle Sales World wide continued to plummet. Slow market growth in the late 90’s led to a revival of the GP scene in early 2000.

    Detox para examen de miccion se ha convertido en una alternativa cada vez mas conocida entre personas que necesitan eliminar toxinas del organismo y superar pruebas de test de drogas. Estos suplementos estan disenados para ayudar a los consumidores a depurar su cuerpo de sustancias no deseadas, especialmente aquellas relacionadas con el consumo de cannabis u otras sustancias ilicitas.

    Uno buen detox para examen de pipi debe ofrecer resultados rapidos y confiables, en gran cuando el tiempo para prepararse es limitado. En el mercado actual, hay muchas opciones, pero no todas garantizan un proceso seguro o efectivo.

    ?Como funciona un producto detox? En terminos basicos, estos suplementos actuan acelerando la eliminacion de metabolitos y componentes a traves de la orina, reduciendo su concentracion hasta quedar por debajo del umbral de deteccion de algunos tests. Algunos funcionan en cuestion de horas y su efecto puede durar entre 4 a 6 horas.

    Es fundamental combinar estos productos con correcta hidratacion. Beber al menos dos litros de agua al dia antes y despues del uso del detox puede mejorar los efectos. Ademas, se recomienda evitar alimentos pesados y bebidas azucaradas durante el proceso de desintoxicacion.

    Los mejores productos de detox para orina incluyen ingredientes como extractos de hierbas, vitaminas del complejo B y minerales que favorecen el funcionamiento de los rinones y la funcion hepatica. Entre las marcas mas destacadas, se encuentran aquellas que tienen certificaciones sanitarias y estudios de prueba.

    Para usuarios frecuentes de marihuana, se recomienda usar detoxes con ventanas de accion largas o iniciar una preparacion anticipada. Mientras mas prolongada sea la abstinencia, mayor sera la efectividad del producto. Por eso, combinar la disciplina con el uso correcto del producto es clave.

    Un error comun es creer que todos los detox actuan identico. Existen diferencias en formulacion, sabor, metodo de toma y duracion del efecto. Algunos vienen en presentacion liquido, otros en capsulas, y varios combinan ambos.

    Ademas, hay productos que incluyen fases de preparacion o preparacion previa al dia del examen. Estos programas suelen recomendar abstinencia, buena alimentacion y descanso adecuado.

    Por ultimo, es importante recalcar que ninguno detox garantiza 100% de exito. Siempre hay variables biologicas como metabolismo, frecuencia de consumo, y tipo de examen. Por ello, es vital seguir ciertas instrucciones del fabricante y no confiarse.
