Loved that track. Was involved (still am) with the Calgary Kart Racing Club when we used to rent the fast track on Sunday's for our races. The best part was as a club member, you could buy a day pass for 15(?) dollars on any day and bring your race kart on to the track to practice while they had rentals on at the same time. The speed and handling differential was naturally quite big, and we would just rip past left right and center, leaving them disorientated and with a mouth full of dust. "Buzzing the rentals" is what we called it

Not a chance that could ever happen nowadays.
