Yup. It was scheduled to be on Saturday for months until they announced on Twitter and on an Instagram story about 2 weeks ago that it was gonna be on Sunday.

I was gonna go. Now I cant because I had other plans for today. First time in 19 years that I havent been to a CDN national. I haven't even seen one online either cuz their stream is always down when I try to watch. Really liking the new organization...

They really need to step their game up. New venture yes but it's not like they're clueless about MX. The Thompson's have personally been involved in MX for well over 30 years in one way, shape or form and have ran a successful AX series down South.

Personally I haven't been that impressed with them. I think it might be a case of taking on too much too soon.

-Website needs a major overhaul.
-Streaming platform is shit in my opinion.
-Announcers need improvement.
-TV package isn't bad. Just wish the show was split in two. 1 hour for the 250's and 1 hour for the 450's. Cramming 4 motos in an hour makes for very little racing action. Important since the races aren't archived.
-Series needs to go back to 10 rounds and back on Sunday's.
-Need to tighten up the race day schedule.

I like what they're trying to accomplish for moto in Canada but they need to crawl before they can run.

Hard to follow the series when they don't make it accessible to watch after the day/main stream is over.

Good thing we have Billy over at DMX to document the series. So Billy if you're reading this thanks for all you do.

Before anyone thinks I'm bashing the new series/owners, I'm not. Great overall plan, just poorly executed thus far.

I think the AX series kept them busy this winter while they should have worked on the Nationals. They just weren't ready and their "busy" schedule/short staff doesn't allow them to catch up.

I hate the fact that the MTL SX is now part of the Triple Crown thing. Changing the rules and schedule 3/4 into the season is stupid IMO. Oh well. Go Kaven Benoit.

Fastest qualifiers are Facciotti in the 450 class and Jess Pettis in the 250 class.

Great ride from Benoit. Facciotti's fall was awkward. Front end slid out as he was exiting a corner.
