EDMONTON - A beloved race track near Fort Saskatchewan that drew sport bike, kart and formula racers and enthusiasts is closing after more than a decade in business.
Over the weekend, the Edmonton Motorcycle Roadracing Association held its last championship at Stratotech Park International Raceway. The stands were packed Sunday afternoon as friends, family members, fans and some first-timers gathered to soak up the sun, speed and say goodbye to a place they’ve grown well acquainted with.
“The track is such a big part of my life, it’s hard to see that chapter close,” said Trina Hennig, owner of Edge Motorcycle Training and a former racer. “This was my home away from home.”
