Kart Racing

Posted on May 5, 2012 | Leave a comment

Kart Racing is popular for both young and previously young racers – and the only track racing currently available in Calgary!  The Calgary Kart Racing Club (CKRC) has a well run series of race weekends.  Check them out for some good racing.

We have had a number of requests recently for Karting gear including approved suits, gloves and shoes as well as the other safety equipment like helmets, rib protectors and neck collars.  Contact us for any Kart Racing gear.

Spring Thaw Car Show

Posted on April 30, 2012 | Leave a comment

Here is a few photos from the Spring Thaw (April 29, 2012) – usually the first major car event of the year.  Held at the end of April each year for about 20 years.  This year there was a couple hundred cars of all kinds, from antiques, hotrods, race cars and a few exotics.

Check the gallery set for a few of my favorites.

A really nice vintage racer from the Alberta Auto Racing Association – raced from 1951 to 1954 and restored in 1980.

 

Here is a Vintage Drag Racer – runs low 8 second 1/4 mile.  Garth just bought a HANS Device – hope he never really needs to use it!

 

Turbo anyone!  A couple of these ‘Rat Rods’ gathered a lot of fans!
