Cooke, who will also join JSR and Klatt in the Canadian Arenacross Championship. The Nova Scotia native will, like Roy and Klatt, compete in both displacement classes.
“We have high hopes for Mitch. He moved up from a 58th place national ranking in the outdoor 250cc Canadian Motocross Championship two seasons ago to a 22nd place this past year. And he only rode four of the eight rounds,” noted Blackfoot Racing’s Jason Mitchell. “In the final round in Walton, Mitch finished 3rd overall after running the pace of the front runners. Not only did he impress us ha also showed the desire to move his career forward, therefore we believe he will be a valuable member to our team.”
