Montreal, QC, December 21th 2012

Eastern Pro Tour is proud to announce a new partnership with “Courses VTT”. Lynda Chénard and Luc

Boucher are now officially part of the EPT team for the 2013 season. Their son Samuel will be joining our

technical inspection crew for a few events as well. This family’s experience in ATV and side-by-side racing

along with their general racing experience will be an important add-on.

We are also proud to share that we have concluded a sponsorship deal with “Sport Collette Rive Sud” and

“Yamaha” for the Outlaw class. In fact the “Yamaha” factory in collaboration with their dealer “Sport

Collette Rive Sud” have become EPT sponsors. An amount of $ 1, 500.00 will be added to the championship

purse in this particular class. Thank you to “Sport Collette Rive Sud” and “Yamaha”.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank several members of the EPT team, as well as racers and their

teams for their help and assistance in promoting Oval ice racing and the events of our promoters, during the

three motorized sports expositions attended by EPT in 2012.

Daniel Mulligan and Jordan Ouellet have retired from our team of officials. Daniel now father of two has

decided to spend more time with his newly expanded family. He will remain an active member of the Easter

Pro Tour team by remaining in-charge of our website www.eptracing.com. Jordan for his part is someone

that, when involved in something, he gives his all to the project. Now that he has started university he will be

giving all he’s got to this new step of his life and will not be able to take the time necessary to be with us

every weekend. He too will remain an active member of the Eastern Pro Tour crew by being responsible of

our Facebook page and we will most likely see him from time to time around the track. EPT would like to

thank them both for all the time they have invested so that our races happen in a safe and efficient

environment.

In 2013 there will be a few changes in the rules for the ATV class. We will also see 2 new classes

implemented in the side by side category which are the Pro Series 1000 and the Pro Mod 1000. We, with Luc

Boucher’s help, are now writing the rules for the side by side classes. This category being on the rise in the

racing world, the rules will be based on the same thoughts and dynamics than the ISR stock class rules. We

are also reviewing the ATV rules and are trying to find a convenient solution to reflect the Ice Oval Racing

perspectives while respecting the ATV race world. The new rules will soon be available on our website under

More>>Documents.
