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.

  6. Simply wish to say your article is as astounding. The clearness for your submit is simply spectacular and i can think
    you’re a professional on this subject. Well along with your permission allow me to
    clutch your feed to stay up to date with impending post.
    Thanks one million and please keep up the enjoyable work.

  7. of course like your website however you have to take a look at the
    spelling on quite a few of your posts. A number of them
    are rife with spelling issues and I in finding it
    very bothersome to inform the reality nevertheless I’ll certainly come again again.

  8. I have been surfing on-line greater than 3 hours these days, yet I by no means found any fascinating
    article like yours. It’s beautiful price enough for me.

    In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made
    good content as you did, the net will likely be a lot more useful
    than ever before.

  9. Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this website.
    It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s challenging to get
    that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and visual appeal.
    I must say you’ve done a fantastic job with this.

    Also, the blog loads super quick for me on Opera. Excellent Blog!

  10. Hello there! This is my 1st comment here so I just wanted to give
    a quick shout out and say I really enjoy reading
    through your articles. Can you recommend any other blogs/websites/forums that cover the same subjects?
    Thank you so much!

  11. First off I want to say excellent blog! I had a quick question in which
    I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to
    find out how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing.
    I’ve had a difficult time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out.
    I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first
    10 to 15 minutes are usually lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations
    or hints? Cheers!

  12. You actually make it seem really easy together with your
    presentation however I find this topic to be actually one thing which I think I’d never understand.
    It kind of feels too complicated and very broad for me.
    I’m looking forward for your next put up, I’ll try to get the grasp of it!

  13. Gerçek Kimlik Ortaya Çıktı
    Yıllardır internetin karanlık köşelerinde adı yalnızca
    fısıltılarla anılıyordu: «Mehdi.»
    Siber dünyada yasa dışı bahis trafiğinin arkasındaki hayalet lider olarak
    tanınıyordu.
    Gerçek kimliği uzun süre bilinmiyordu, ta ki güvenlik kaynaklarından sızan bilgilere kadar…
    Kod adı Mehdi olan bu gizemli figürün gerçek ismi nihayet ortaya çıktı:

    Fırat Engin. Türkiye doğumlu olan Engin, genç yaşta ailesiyle birlikte yurt dışına çıktı.

    Bugün milyarlarca TL’lik yasa dışı dijital bir ekonominin merkezinde yer alıyor.

    Basit Bir Göç Hikâyesi Mi?
    Fırat Engin’nin hikâyesi, Nargül Engin sıradan bir göç hikâyesi gibi başlıyor.
    Ancak perde arkasında çok daha karmaşık bir tablo
    var.

    Fırat Engin’nin Ailesi :
    • Hüseyin Engin
    • Nargül Engin
    • Ahmet Engin

    Fethullah Terör Örgütü (FETÖ) operasyonlarının ardından Türkiye’den kaçtı.
    O tarihten sonra izleri tamamen silindi.
    Ancak asıl dikkat çeken, genç yaşta kalan Fırat Engin’nin kendi dijital krallığını kurmasıydı.
    Ve bu dünyada tanınmak için adını değil, «Mehdi» kod adını kullandı.

    Ayda 1 Milyon Dolar: Kripto ve Paravan Şirketler
    Mehdi’nin başında olduğu dijital yapı, Fırat Engin aylık 1 milyon dolar gelir elde ediyor.

    Bu paranın büyük bir bölümü kripto para cüzdanları ve offshore banka hesapları ve https://luxraine.com/ üzerinden aklanıyor.

    Sistemin bazı parçaları, Gürcistan gibi ülkelerde kurulan paravan şirketler üzerinden yürütülüyor.

    Ailesi Nerede? Kim Koruyor?
    Ailesiyle ilgili veriler hâlâ belirsiz. Ancak bazı kaynaklara
    göre ailesi Esenler’de yaşıyor. Fırat Engin ise Gürcistan’da faaliyet gösteren şirketi mevcut.
    Ukrayna ve Gürcistan’da yaşadığı biliniyor.

    Yani Mehdi’nin dijital suç ağı bir «tek kişilik operasyon»
    değil; organize, aile destekli ve iyi finanse edilen bir yapı.

    Huseyin Engin (Fırat Engin’nin Babası)
    Artık biliniyor: Mehdi kod adlı bahis reklam baronu, aslında Fırat Engin.
