It was a great racing for the opening weekend of the Calgary Kart Racing Club (CKRC) Round 1 of 2018 at North Star Raceway in Strathmore, AB. There were many classes with drivers of all ages racing on the track. One thing I always get a kick out of, is the young drivers with lots of skill already. A lot of great Canadian IndyCar drivers came from kart racing such as Paul Tracy, Greg Moore & James Hinchcliffe. CKRC members that have moved up in racing like Cameron Hayley who ran a full season with in the 2015 & 2016 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. Come out & see exciting CKRC race events, the next event is the CKRC Double Header Weekend with the Western Canadian Karting Championship Race 1 & 2 May 26 & 27. If you decide to check it out this weekend check-out the Cookhouse Burgers, one of the best track burgers I have ever had.

RACING
Races are held approximately every 3 weeks from May to October. Races are typically one day events, held on Sundays, with practice commencing at 9:30 AM, races starting at 10:00 AM and continuing until 4:00 PM. For better competition, some classes are combined to create larger racing fields. Sprint races typically last 10-15 minutes each, with each class holding 1 practice session, 1 qualifying session and 2 to 4 races at each race day event. Races are usually run rain or shine. In the event of rain, karts are fitted with wet weather treaded race tires and drivers outfitted with durable rain gear.

Volunteer Race Officials
It takes a lot of people to put on an event on; my favorite is being a track-side Corner Marshal. The best way to watch a race is to be in the kart. The second best way to watch is to be a trackside marshal. If you are interested in racing but not sure about it yourself, being a marshal might be for you. Marshals are there for emergencies and to communicate with racers with flags and to communicate regarding the race with others via radio. Training is provided by an extremely experienced Race Director Fred Causer & experienced Marshals.
