The RCMP and RED DEER City Counsel have instructed us that due to the recent shootings and gang related activity surrounding the import scene in Edmonton they will not allow Drag Warz to take place as we planned, even though we have hired a proffesional security company as well as have 40 security volunteers. We have alot of time and money invested in this event and as well as a signed contract, our lawyer is looking into this and we will keep you posted!!
SORRY FOR ANY INCONVIENCE!!



this is what i got from abcars

I dunno, when they start talking about shootings, I think you've lost any ground you have with that claim.

Hello, a bunch of questions:

What's the estimated cost/time/duration of the go karting thing on Sunday? How many people are karting? Where can I rent a firearm for self defence? :)

LOL... why rent? They're hella cheap in edmonton. Sold at every local convenience store except for 7-11. At 7-11 they sell rifles.

i am in talks with the owners to get like 1hr of track time for just us and a BIG discount....

usually its $20 for 15 mins....you get like 20-30 laps in...and believe me you are more than happy with that....

but maybe we can get a good deal....here;s hoping

Hey I found their website and did some budgeting, obviously the book-by-the-hour thing is a better deal than paying by-the-lap:

Here's the website:

http://www.fastrackkarts.com/

Here's the math (assuming 4X10 minute races w/8 drivers):

If you go pay by lap it's $25 for 10 minutes per person

$25/person *8 persons*4 (4*10 minute sessions in one hour)=$800 total cost

Group booking is $150 cheaper:

Flat group rate=$650 on Sundays
(4*10 minute*8 driver sessions in one hour)

They also got a gun range in the mall and huge Playdium place, maybe Edmonton isn't so bad after all. :guns:

The reason I say racil stereo typing is b/c many in Redneck Alberta associate asians and gangs and souped up import cars together.

I guess the proper term should have been racial profiling.

That's the kind of ridiculous backward logic that anybody who took math in school knows is wrong.


all gang people have imports

DOES NOT EQUAL

all people with imports are gang people.


This assumption would be false even if the "all gang people have imports" was true, which it is not.

Now I feel like Red Deer is just like the town in "Footloose".

it really pisses me off that the RCMP and red deer city council thinks that young people (not just asians) who have money and nice cars are immediately thought of as gang members. duh...maybe we have an education and a good job.

You know what really pisses me off... And it's always like that. The majority always pays for the mistakes of the few.

The vast majority of people that were going to show up for this event are perfectly honest citizens that share a common passion/hobby. Cars. And we are being shut down because some ignorant people with power are generalizing the behavior of a few to all of us.

Maybe they should also shut down the arcades because sometimes you may find some punks playing.

Maybe they should make all concerts illegal because some people might smoke pot in the arena.

Maybe they should close down all clubs because it's possible that a gang member could visist one.

Whatever.

You know what... there are like way more gangs in LA and they don't get nearly as hard a time as we do to put on a show like this. Ignorance is what feeds racial profiling.. maybe it wasn't intentional maybe it was. All I know is this FUCKIN SUCKS

This is probably a prime example of why places like Red Deer Airport and RCMP don't want to host this venue anymore :rolleyes:

Cops are well how can I put it nicely... they need to grow up. Their logic..well they don't have one..

"Oh one person got a speeding ticket.. I think we should declare that it's illegal to drive now.. since that would be risking the public because if another driver were to speed.. gosh! Ya everyone has to bike to work now..." :confused: :confused: :madred:

That's the extent of their brains...:thumbsdow

"cops need to grow up"? i think they need more than that.
i've been pulled over more time than i can count for having an LCD screen on my dash, but never gotten a ticket.
this leads me to beleive that its not even illegal, the cop is just looking for osmething to tag me with...:thumbsdow

south of calgary sounds good. if the shootings took place in deadmonton, the cops will just shut it down again if it is in the surrounding area.

ManHunter

It's apparently gonna be either Fort McCleod airport (where is it?) or Wetaskiwin Airport.

If it's Fort McLeod, then it's probably around 1h drive for Calgary people and 4:30h for Edmonton people. If it's Wetaskiwin, it's 2:30h for Calgary people and 45 minutes for Edmonton people.

I think Wetaskiwin would be the best choice, if they accept to host the event (but I'm a little bit biased). If it's Fort McCleod, it's going to be one long drive for me... :( (and everybody else going frm Edmonton).


BTW, maybe "Drag Warz" was a bad name for the event. :)
