PRINCE GEORGE – The second round of the Rockstar Energy MXTOUR Series will not take place in Prince George for the first time in three years.

The race is being moved to the Whispering Pines MX park, just outside of Kamloops, the schedule of the races are not changing.

The former administrator of the Blackwater MX park, Kourtney Loyd tweeted “I want to make it very clear, this decision to not hold the PG National was not that of the MRC, Jetwerx or Justin Thompson. This decision was mine and mine alone. The details of it are irrelevant but I want to thank everyone that helped me put on three iconic races and put PG on the map as Riders Favourite Track two years in a row.”

In the same tweet, the CEO of Jetwerx, Justin Thompson went on to show his gratitude towards the event, stating “Again thank Kourtney Loyd’s Blackwater MX Park team for the highly entertaining and successful races held at their facility over the past few years.”
