West Kelowna’s Marcel Irnie placed second in the Amateur Sport Bike Class last Sunday at the Race City track in Calgary.
This was the third round of the Parts Canada Superbike National Championship Series.
Irnie was involved in a race–long battle with Quebec’s Sebastian Tremblay, before passing Tremblay on the last corner on the last lap to take second place.
Superbike racing takes place on a paved road course of approximately 3.5 km, with straights connecting tight and long corners. Superbikes reach speeds up to 290 km/hr.
Irnie was very pleased with his second place result at Race City, as he only qualified fifth due to being down on power along with suspension problems. Irnie had to ride very hard to be competitive.
The Race City race will be televised on TSN-HD and TSN on Tuesday, July 21, 1 p.m. Eastern Time.
Marcel Irnie plans to contest the remaining events of the Parts Canada Superbike series including Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia in August and Shannonville, Ontario in September.
