Motorcycles: 'BIG' Weekend for Millson, Glenn and Nickerson at the 2008 SUPERSHOW

TORONTO, ON - This past weekend's North American International Motorcycle SUPERSHOW was a huge success for Go Big Racing's Ross Millson (Hamilton, ON) and Paul Glenn (Keene, ON). All weekend long the team, joined by developmental rider Steven Nickerson (Hamilton, ON), interacted with thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts from the Go Big Racing and Mosport International Raceway displays.

The Go Big Racing booth featured Steven Nickerson's 125 GP bike, a Suzuki SV650, and a massive eye-catching 52" Samsung LCD television courtesy of Gibson Sound and Vision in Waterloo. Thanks to Peter Derry, from the North American International Motorcycle SUPERSHOW, the team was able to transform their space into the Go Big Racing-Gibson Sound and Vision 'BIG Screen Theatre', where SUPERSHOW patrons were treated to a few rows of comfortable chairs and the new 2007 Parts Canada Superbike Championship Series DVD.

At the Mosport International Raceway booth the team's Summit Gearworks/Infinet Designs GSX-R600 and GSX-R1000 Suzuki's were on display, and both Millson and Glenn took the opportunity to sign autographs and discuss the history of this outstanding facility.

On Saturday, the Go Big Racing team was honoured with a 2007 Motorcycle Award of Excellence (MAX Award) for their performance in the SunTrust Moto-ST Endurance Series. Go Big Racing won the award in the International Competition category which was presented by SUPERSHOW President Bar Hodgson on the Lucas Oil stage.

"It's pretty humbling being recognized alongside so many outstanding racers, individuals and organizations dedicated to motorcycle racing in Canada," noted Millson.

Millson and Glenn were joined on stage by team mechanics Mark Millson and Blaine Groves. Unfortunately, mechanic Scott Laidman was unable to attend due to previous commitments.

"As the SunTrust Moto-ST series is a team-based sport, it was only fitting that Mark and Blaine joined us on stage to help represent all the people involved throughout the whole season," added Glenn.

Throughout the weekend Ross Millson, Paul Glenn and Steven Nickerson enjoyed some stage time with Parts Canada Superbike Championship Series and SunTrust MOTO-ST Endurance Series announcer Frank Wood, on the Lucas Oil stage. There, the team talked about the past year and discussed their plans for the upcoming 2008 season. At the end of interviews Go BIG Racing treated the audience members to team hats and promotional items, generously donated by team sponsors, and posed skill testing questions to win copies of the 2007 Parts Canada Superbike Championship Series DVD.

Make sure to catch the dramatic SunTrust Moto-ST Endurance Series 8-hour finale from Daytona, January 8, 2008, on Speed TV. Visit http://www.speedtv.com/ for complete broadcast details.

GO BIG RACING begins busy off-season at T.O. motorcycle show

(Toronto, ON) Coming off a very successful 2007 season that saw Go Big Racing�s Paul Glenn (Keene, ON) power his Summit Gearworks/Infinet Designs Suzuki GSXR 600 to the International Motorcycle Supershow Amateur 600 Sport Bike Class Canadian Championship and Ross Millson's (Hamilton, ON) strong 3rd place finish in the HJC Rookie of the Year Standings in the Parts Canada Superbike Championship, the team confirmed this week that they will be in attendance at the Toronto Motorcycle Show, December 7th to 9th at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (South Building).

It will be a busy weekend for Go Big Racing with the team splitting time between the Mosport International Raceway booth (booth #2450) and the Inside Motorcycle Winners Circle.

After a successful partnership at last year�s Toronto Motorcycle Show, Go Big Racing is proud to once again share space with a first class supporter of motorcycle racing in Canada. Go Big Racing will display at least two of their Summit Gearworks/Infinet Designs Suzukis at the booth and will be on hand to speak with fans and sign autographs.

"We appreciate the opportunity to work with Mosport again this year," commented Millson. "Both Paul and I enjoy racing at Mosport during the Parts Canada Superbike Championship and are looking forward to getting back there for their 2008 stop on the Parts Canada Superbike Championship schedule."

The Parts Canada Superbike Championship weekend at Mosport International Raceway is tentatively scheduled for July 18-20, 2008.

In addition to their work at the Mosport booth, Paul Glenn's International Motorcycle Supershow AM 600 Championship winning Suzuki will be on display at the Inside Motorcycles Winner Circle along with many other Championship winning machines. Glenn will be available throughout the weekend to sign autographs and speak with fans.

Go Big Racing will also be making an appearance at the BBRV Full Throttle Celebrity Stage and Lounge. Hosted by Frank Wood (race announcer for the Parts Canada Superbike Championship), the Celebrity Stage, will be set in a late night talk show theme and have a mix of interviews, fashion shows, racing personalities and presentations.

"Go Big Racing is excited to have the opportunity to be involved with the BBRV Full Throttle Celebrity stage," noted Glenn. "We are hopefully going to hit on our racing on both sides of the border in the Parts Canada Superbike Championship and the SunTrust Moto-ST Series during our time on stage with Frank!"
