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.
