Safety
Safety is always a big concern at any motorsport event. We have taken the foremost measures to make sure our track stays safe and fun for everybody involved, whether a spectator, volunteer or participant. Many of our guidelines are well outside the basic parameters of other competitions because of our given space and extensive research into this subject.
Research and Development – Some of the leading groups in safety related to automotive sports include the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), the Canadian Automobile Sports Club (CASC), Government Canada – Health and Safety Division and Stoneridge Specialty Insurance. We have combined their prestigious formats, along with many others, to make sure we are covering everything, eliminating any grey areas.
Community
One of the things giving us the leading edge over many other race tracks is the dedication of participants and the community. Unlike a lot of tracks we are within minutes of safety response teams. The local Fire Department and Ambulance services have been on site for our first events. Although this is not required at these events, their voluntary time gives everyone peace of mind and helps shows full community involvement.
Insurance
Our insurance providers are Stoneridge Specialty Insurance Inc.. They have been by our side since day one with their seemingly unlimited knowledge to assist in this venture. We have designed our course layouts, pitting area and concession area to far exceed the given basic requirements.
Tech Inspections
Technical inspections are mandatory for every car at every event. During this, a car is given a basic inspection to make sure the vehicle is safe to use on our track. This is NOT to be used or compared to a proper motor vehicle inspection. Usually taking 5-10 minutes per vehicle it is simply checking for anything that could be hazardous. See our proper on-site-use technical inspection IN THIS ATTACHMENT.
Safety Meeting
After participants have had their cars inspected and approved, there will be a safety meeting before any vehicles are allowed on the track. This is a 10-15 minute lecture describing hazards, what to do in given scenarios, how the three spotter sectors will flag and react in the event an incident should occur. Following this there is a quick Q&A making sure everybody fully understands their duties.
Track Walkthrough (AutoCross)
Finally we have reached the last thing before the racing begins. The track walkthrough begins at the starting line. From here the walk the given route to show the course layout. During this walkthrough, we will explain any hazardous areas and show the direction and basic line drivers are to take during this racing event.
