Press Release –
Pirelli wrapped up the 2007 MX1 Canadian Motosport Racing Club (CMRC) motocross championship with Paul Carpenter’s wins on his Monster Kawasaki at the championship’s final round.
Carpenter won both motos at the Walton MX event, located in Ontario, Canada, giving him the overall win for the day and the 2007 MX1 title.
Josh Whitmire, Pirelli MX Racing Manager, said, “This championship marks the first time in history that Pirelli Tire has won the premier title in the Canadian Motocross series. It’s awesome for us to start the season with a sweep of the Daytona 200 podium in road racing and end the CMRC season with the championship and four of the five top places. There could be no better way to prove the abilities of our dual-compound Scorpion MX tires, the same ones we sell to every rider.”
In the CMRA MX2 division, Pirelli swept the podium using three different rear tires. Monster Kawasaki’s Tucker Hibbert earned top honors on a Pirelli Scorpion MX Mid Hard (454), KTM Canada Michael Willard placed 2nd on MX Mid Soft (32), and rounding out the podium was KTM’s Mason Phillips on a MX Hard (486).
