The Team
The race team MEGDY Racing officially started in the fall of 1999 after experiencing a very promising first season among the amateurs. At the time, the whole purpose of the team was based on friendly relation but, of course, the main goal remained to be the best among the best amateur pilots of the province. This is how his passion for racing and motorcycles made Eric Fortin the first member of the team to join MEGDY Racing.
Year 2000, the first official season for MEGDY Racing, has been very determining. After dominating the whole season in the " Open 600cc " category, he finished 5th overall. The die was cast. After proving that they were among the best motorcycle pilots, MEGDY Racing decided to join the professionals.
It is then, in the fall of 2000, that Martin Poulin joined the MEGDY Racing ranks. His arrival in the team meant a new depth and experience at the mechanical standpoint.
Furthermore, a few more sponsors have joined us to support the team in 2002. This is the case for Stadium Suspension which, on top of giving us mechanical support, will handle technical support. Parts Canada also joined us as major sponsor. They will ensure the MEGDY Racing support for parts and supplies.
MEGDY Racing is counting on his solid reputation and the support of his sponsors to become one of the best privately organized racing motorcycle teams in the Canadian Championship. For that reason, companies such as Claude Ste-Marie Sport, Parts Canada, Permatex, Amsoil, Hindle, Amaro have joined the team since a few years and are proud to be our partners.

Subject : Special thanks to AMSOIL for the support provided in Season 2002
Mr. Schuldt,
As the pilot of MEGDY Racing, I wish to offer my sincere thanks to Amsoil and especially Mr. Michel Beaupré for your sponsorship in Season 2002 on the Parts Canada Superbike Championship, the most prestigious motorcycle championship in the country.
MEGDY Racing has been one of the most important private motorcycle racing team across the country on the Parts Canada Superbike Championship for the last two seasons.
MEGDY Racing was proud to develop a COMPLETE NEW MARKET in motorcycle racing in CANADA for AMSOIL. By using AMSOIL products, MEGDY Racing knew that it could count on the best products available in the market.
On the top of that, MEGDY Racing had a specific goal to achieve during Season 2002. Our goal was to increase the popularity of AMSOIL products in Canada and to put the name of AMSOIL on the track by developing a new market in Road Racing for AMSOIL in Canada.
MEGDY Racing had a resounding success. From the Westcoast to the East, for the first time, people saw AMSOIL involved in Raod Racing. During the whole season, MEGDY Racing was asked many questions and met people from everywhere that were surprised and happy to see AMSOIL involved in Road Racing in CANADA.
AMSOIL contributed to the success of MEGDY Racing in 2002 and this is why MEGDY Racing is sending this special thanks to you.
As well, MEGDY Racing has included in this letter, a copy of the poster given at some shows and to all the sponsors.
Yours truly,
Gaston Labrie
Pilot of MEGDY Racing
