As long as Colin puts on his show and makes some money, I guess that's all that is important. I don't know why people risk there lives for this guy??????
Well,, "WE" out here in the east have options. We have Grand Bend,Cayuga,Mosport and Mosport DDT,Calabogie and Shannonville,St. Eustache,Tremblant. Out west they have Castrol Park.
So although you may think the series is just wallowing in cash the bigger picture with Edmonton to me is much like Shuby. Shuby needs the income and CSBK to help raise money and awareness.With CSBK going to Shuby the track has done the best it can to make the track safer.In fact Shuby helped us all by bringing awareness to the bottle bag system and implementing it first. So going to Edmonton,, helps the people out west get awareness and may help bring the track up to a safer standard.
All those walls there look like movable cement blocks. Also the videos seem to change from real bad with dirt around the track to better as the grass seems to grow in. This tells me the track is adjusting.
Some may choose to go and some may not but the reality is the impact this makes on our sport by bridging the east and west. There are some very good riders out west that can not afford to travel out here. If we can go out there and help them raise the level of their venue,, to me,, that;s the win,win for the sport.
Regardless,, any track in Canada,,less maybe Grand Bend,,, has some section you ride to get through,,or should in my opinion. They all seem to have serious safety issues somewhere. Be safe!
