CITYBEAT - CITY OF CALGARY PRESS RELEASE
-----------------------------------------------------------------

In response to recent media inquiries, the Calgary Police Service, RCMP, and the Solicitor General and Public Security Sheriff's Branch will not be participating in an upcoming drag race event at Race City Motorsport Park.

Reports have indicated these police services would be involved in racing against officers from Edmonton. This is not the case.

Neither the CPS, Alberta Sheriffs, nor the RCMP has signed on to support this event and have not sanctioned any officers, in an official capacity, to participate on behalf of their respective organizations.

a clear display of the round table of self-interest that runs our city

CPS would rather support the City Counsel over the safety of the citizens that they are supposed to be protecting

if city counsel told cps to shoot anyone wearing a helmet while riding a bicycle i would expect they would apply the same lack of moral principals.

cps needs to grow some fucking balls and learn what integrity is

This just out from Motorsport Council of Calgary ...

City Hall Displays Red Light to Boys in Blue

Calgary, AB (September 25, 2009) - In light of the political pressure exerted on the various law enforcement officers that were to be involved in the “The Battle of Alberta, Law Enforcement _style_” and the Beat the Heat Charity events, the Motorsport Council of Calgary is forced to remove these events from the Secret Street program scheduled for Friday, September 25th at Race City Motorsport Park.

The Blue Line Racing Association, a volunteer group of officers from the Edmonton Police Service has also been forced to cancel their drag race demonstration. The association holds approximately twenty similar events each year at Edmonton area race tracks in an attempt to reduce illegal street racing by providing education, heightened awareness and safe racing alternatives. This would have been the first appearance of the Edmonton police drag race cars in Calgary.

The regular Secret Street program will be run as scheduled. During the event, the Motorsport Council of Calgary will hold public information sessions on the pending Park closure and the pending impact of illegal street racing on the citizens of Calgary. A large group of performance and race cars from the entire racing community will be on display throughout the evening.

Everyone is invited to attend. Gates open at 6:00PM. Action gets underway at 7:00PM and admission is $5.00.

For more information, please contact Rick Fransecone, chairman of the Motorsport Council. He is available by phone at 403-250-2845 (work) or 403-850-8773 (cell).

CPS are looking for more money from City Council. Hanson would blow Bronconnier.

Thankfully I'm not voting for the retard Bronconnier. This is ridiculus

[Cock Knuckle]

Can you blame the city for not supporting this? Can you imagine what they are thinking when they vote to close Race City. $$$

Pure and simple: There are a lot of taxes to be collected from slightly speedier cars and ones that make more noise than others. When they are at the track, CPS cannot harass you for noise/speed.

With the amount of work city hall needed to create this whole F***ing situation, wouldn't it have been easier to put their collective minds together and complete something like this:

Pretty easy. If you get lost, stop your car and listen for a bit. You should hear the PA or the cars running also you'll see the lights if it's dark.

Guaranteed speed traps on the roads leading to Race City tonight!

Too bad I can't make it out there tonight though, would have loved to check out the event.

[~Touge/Wangan-]

can anyone confirm if there will be a beyond booth or not?...

i'm rockin' the yellow and black gixxer tonight and will be racing, if there's a booth i'll stop by and say hi....

[89s1]

This city council is a joke.

If they had only spent 24 million on that retarded bridge they could use the other million and change to rent a giant crane.

Then use it to yank their heads out of their collective asses.

[88CRX]

Holy epic busy already.

[scat19]

It's packed tonight! What a turn out!

[Aznstealth]

There was such a great turn out tonight too bad i didn't enter when i first got there though by the time i went back for my car the lineup was huge oh well... hopefully all of tonight will be enough to keep it up and running! if so then im definitely gonna try a run next season!

So just curious during the season is it like this every Friday night?

My god, I was there at six, left at ten, and I only got two passes in. Hopefully the crowd will be what convinces alderman whatsisface that having a track is important.

I was driving the red, black, and primer EG hatch that made horrible clutch slipping noises all the way down the track.

^ saw u on deerfoot. That is no way a regular turnout, amazing though!!!
