NPP: Events cancelled for the upcoming weekend due to a lack of staff at Rapid Fire Motorsports Park


I've heard of a lot of reasons for cancelling a race, but this is a new one....


URGENT NOTICE TO NPP DRIVERS AND RACEFANS
DRAYTON VALLEY, AB. - Alberta's current labour shortage has forced NPP Series officials to cancel the Fathers Day weekend race events at Rapid Fire Motorsports Park in Drayton Valley (June 16th/17th). "They have maybe 2 volunteer staff members and thats it," says NPP Series announcer Gord Craig, "I'd never thought I'd see a day where a race was cancelled due to a lack of staff and volunteers. Last year I believe they had close to 40 staff and volunteers making sure the race ran smootly. This just proves that the lure of high paying jobs in the oilpatch continues in Alberta. Not even the fun and high octane excitment of working at a race track is immune to labour shortages.
