Calabogie Track to Open Soon
« on: August 24, 2006, 02:36:02 pm »
On July 28, 2006 the Ontario Municipal Board approved the Official Plan Amendment and the required zoning to allow for the operation of Calabogie MotorSports Park. The Alan Wilson designed facility is the largest track in Canada, and the first of this scale to be constructed in more than thirty years. TrackCorpCanada is pleased with the decision of the Board, and will be commencing paving operations immediately. Projected opening for the facility is September 29th, 2006.

We’d like to give everyone the opportunity to include Calabogie MotorSports Park in their calendars for this shortened season. Demand has been very strong for Fall track rentals, and we will do our best to accommodate. Rentals will be at an introductory rate, and as an incentive to prospective clients, passes for CMP’s exclusive pre-opening test day will accompany each confirmed rental for the 2006 and 2007 seasons. Preference will be given to those that had taken tentative bookings for the 2005 season, and a system for bookings will be sent out the week of August 28th to all groups and individuals that have made inquiries over the past 36 months. All rental inquiries should be emailed to: info@calabogiemotorsports.com.

We’d like to thank everyone for their patience, enthusiasm, and continued support. TrackCorpCanada Inc. continues to receive a very high volume of inquiries and requests. Weekly updates to the website www.CalabogieMotorSports.com will include paving progress, detailed information on accommodations, restaurants and services, local and regional points of interest, track policies and regulations, and our on-site ambulance service.

For those interested in employment at CMP, an information session will be held at the track in early September for our marshalling program. Flagging, communications, and safety workers are critical to the safe operation of the facility. Marshalling is a great way to experience the action up close, and become a part of the Calabogie MotorSports team. Information and registration will be posted shortly on the website.
 We look forward to seeing everyone up at the track this Fall!

A little more info and a call for marshalls:

Hey everyone... long time reader... been a while since my last post.

Here's some information which some of you might be interested in. 

To confirm: yes track is paved, final layer is also down with lime powder to help cure times and the Wilson Farm Rd (road to the track form the 511) is also paved along with the paddock area (to be completed).  The completions of a fence was installed today to keep things secure.
 
The track is amazing and wonderful to ride with nice elevation changes and this will be/should say "IS" the best track I have ridden and I can't wait for it to be open permanently.  :o)
 
Best regards,
Dan Henri
