CANADIAN EAST COAST VICTORY.
7th Sep 2010
Thomas takes East Coast win.
JASON THOMAS TAKES 4TH CONSECUTIVE WIN!
Jason Thomas was back on top of the Podium again at the Weekend for his 4th consecutive victory in 4 weeks!
This time he was again riding as a Guest of KTM North America,at the FMSQ 3 Hour event held on Sunday at Ferme Neuve,150 miles North-West of Montreal,Quebec,Canada.
Jason was piloting a KTM XCF250,specially prepared for him by Allan Lachapelle,of Lachapelle Racing Products.The event was held in the picturesque hills of Ferme Neuve,through dense forestry & attracted a large entry.Once again the event was run to a very high standard,&,as the weather was hot & sunny,was a perfect opener for the Summer season.
Jason managed to lap the entire field during the race,beating top East Coast Suzuki rider Guy Giroux who finished 2nd.Filling out the remaining top positions were Michel Metcalfe (KTM) in 3rd & Patrick Beaule (KTM) in 4th.
Speaking after the awards ceremony Jason said: ` Im having such an awesome time here in Canada,everyone is being so friendly to me & so supportive.Its a great place to be for an Off-Road racer,& I cant get over how well everything here is organized.`
Jason had a double reason for celebration at the weekend because on Thursday he finally received his U.S. Visa.This will enable him to really concentrate on a full racing programme in North America for the next few seasons.
He commented: ` Ive waited so long & worked so hard for this chance,You cant just come over here & race,You have to do it properly.My Visa means I can commit to doing at least two full series over here,hopefully one in Canada & one in the U.S..Its what Ive dreamed of.`
Jason would like to thank all the people who made the weekend possible,particularly Allan & Ann Lachapelle,Patrick Beaule & Andy White from KTM,Alf & all the guys at Lethbridge KTM,& a special thankyou to the Ferme Neuve event organizers for all their hard work.
