Interview with Edmonton’s Mr. Motorsport Car 120 Mike Elhard IT-J:

Velocity: “How many cars were there for the weekend?”

Mike Elhard: “50 cars, not bad.”

Velocity: “I was reading about a new hard card system”

Mike Elhard: “Hard cards that’s amazing, you sign an annual waiver & then just walk through the door.”

Velocity: “Anything new this season?”

Mike Elhard: “We have moved forward with the hard card stuff, WCMA has some new younger blood coming out to officiate that went really smoothly this weekend. The track had the new curbs installed; turn 3 wall has been pushed back, so it is more open & more visible.”

Velocity: “Anything about the event?”

Mike Elhard: “They had a fire in a car on track that was put out & the car was able to come back. Mostly because of the skill of the rescue workers & the speed they responded. Nice clean event there was not a lot of contact.”

The Canadian Motorsports Response Team Inc. (CMRT)
Many people had mentioned about Sunday’s car fire incident and how well it was handled by the Canadian Motorsports Response Team Inc. (CMRT). The track was red flagged & the CMRT was able to extinguish the fire quickly & safely. It gives racers a piece of mind knowing in the event if things go wrong, there is a well trained and experienced team ready to roll.

Hard card and annual waiver system
1. The hard card and annual waiver system made the gate way faster than ever (note crew using crew passes still need to waiver) next event I will cone off two lanes one for waivers one for people who can just show your cards and go.
