Interview with Race Director Fred Causer after CKRC Race 1 2020
Velocity: How was the 1st CKRC race day after all this COVID-19?
Fred Causer: The planning for race 1 under COVID measures were put in place in April, after around 100hrs of work between myself and the Clubs Treasurer Roy White. We quickly realized we would need to have some plan in place and went about writing Standard Operating Procedures that we submitted to ABHS who approved us to start operations on May 14. All went as planned and thankfully attendees confirmed to the rules. Race day it’s self had a few first race glitches but over all we saw the largest 1 day race entries of a club race in the clubs history with 86 entries.
Velocity: What were the changes put through at the track this year?
Fred Causer: We changed the track layout at Tic Tac Toe to open up the exit to create better flow which allowed karts to gear down. We also widened the exit of turn 13 again to create better flow in the counter clockwise direction and to create a late braking overtaking spot in the clockwise direction. We also added exit rumble strips at many of the corners as well as extending some of the inner curbing. We patched some of the troubled areas as well. The wrapped tires and plastic barrels were replaced by speciality karting barriers that were shipped in from the UK. We upgraded the PA system.to a full digital network and planted 664 fir tree saplings around the perimeter of the circuit.
Velocity: I saw some great racing what are the classes with the best growth?
Fred Causer: Rotax Senior and Ritax Masters has made a come back after failing numbers over the years and the New Vortex VLR class is growing nicely.
Velocity: I had to run away around 5:00 pm I see you were able to get the finals in.
Fred Causer: Yes we had a late finish at 6pm .. this was in part due to starting late due to a longer first race drivers meeting 9 Classes running rather than 7 in the past .. a loss of internet timing for 30 minutes and of course the weather.
Velocity: I saw some DNS was that due to rain tires?
Fred Causer: Most DNS were new Rookie drivers who either had no rain tires or were not confident enough to run in the rain on their first race.

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. For more information, contact Fred Causer – Manager Tel (403) 305-9170 Email fredcauser@hotmail.com
