Travel and Accommodations

Calabogie Motorsports Park is located one hour west of Ottawa (462 Wilson Farm Road, Calabogie ON). You can ride or trailer your bike. Parking is plentiful at the track. If you live more than one hour from Calabogie, we recommend you travel the night before ART.  This will help ensure that you arrive rested and ready for a what will be a very busy day. There are several options for accommodations in the Calabogie area, however due to high demand selection may be limited.

• The Calabogie Lodge
  
  • 1, 2 & 3 bedroom villas are available.  So, 2 or 3 riders could split the cost with a poker game to determine who gets the coach.  One person would need to make the reservation and pay the deposit.

Food is available at the track all day starting at 7am. The onsite option is a food truck "Paddock Eatery" available for breakfast lunch and sometimes dinner until end of day. Takeout only, located by Building 3 ( near podium / white tent).

A box lunch will be provided for coaches and volunteers and available for purchase for students. Water will be made available to all and also available to purchase. In addition, we recommend that you bring personal snacks for the day. It is important to stay nourished and hydrated!

Fuel

91 and 94 octane fuel is available at the track at Turn 21 (you can also get coffee and various items at this kit shop). Fill up at lunch time if you think you may need fuel as the pump will close around 4pm. The new Bogie General Store (corner of the 511/508) also has ethanol free 91 but it doesn't open 'till 8 am ('til 6pm). 

Drones

The use of drones is strictly prohibited on the CMP compound unless operated by a commercial (licensed and insured) operator.

Other Important Notes

The track can be a noisy environment, we recommend you wear earplugs.

Insurance - BMWMC of Ottawa has insurance for liability - not damages (other than damage to the CMP facility). Should a bike get damaged on the track (i.e. a crash), our policy will not cover damage to the bike. This true for students and staff. It is the opinion of our broker that your personnel vehicle policy would cover damages since we do not race and we do not allow lap timing. We are striving to make you a more competent, confident and therefore safer rider, not to run fast laps. Resolution of a claim for damages is between the rider and his/her personal insurance policy.

In the unlikely event of a crash, your bike and gear must be completely re-inspected before you are allowed to continue. If anything attached to your bike touches the ground or is observed to touch the ground you will be asked to remove the offending part or to ride in a manner that will not drag that part. In fairness to all participants, failure to adhere to any technical requirements or procedures at any time will disqualify you from riding in this event and your money will not be refunded.

Waivers

All participants will be required to electronically sign two separate waivers, please do this as before arriving at the track.

1. CMP Waiver 
2. Club Waiver
