    Magic of Lights 2017
    Kristin K.

    Castrol Raceway just keeps getting better and better! I just checked out their opening night of Magic of Lights last week! And boy oh boy did we have a great time! First off, my little guy thought it was SO COOL MOM that we got to drive on the race track (that Lightning McQueen drives on) for the light display. Loved the different themes throughout the track. Faves for us included the penguins, igloos, Santa on a motorcycle doing a flip off a track! And of course the exit tunnel of lights which totally had us humming the Star Wars theme song. I'd only ever been to Castrol Raceway before for the Rocky Mountain Nationals. So exciting to see them hosting a winter event. And proceeds go to Christmas charities - this year it's Santa's Anonymous and Black Gold Health Foundation. From their website for 2017: The goal is to get 70,000 vehicles go through Castrol over the next seven weeks. Rogers says they've planned some some out of car experiences on weekends for families and horse power sleigh rides where the sleigh will be pulled by trucks. This comes at $20 per person and there is no need to purchase a vehicle pass. "It's a perfect way of doing a corporate party and we have an indoor space for snacks after," she said. The event is family-friendly and affordable, Rogers says, as admission is per vehicle. The cost is $25 for a car, $50 for a limo and $100 for a bus. On Tuesdays a new wrapped toy or a $10 donation at the door gives guests the opportunity to go through twice. For those who want to get ahead of the line, a $20 dash pass can be added to the vehicle pass. The Magic of Lights will be open daily from 5 to 10 p.m. Passes are available at the door or online at castrolraceway.com. For information on the horse power sleigh rides, send an email to info@castrolraceway.com. P.S. While you're just a few minutes away from downtown Leduc, go check out our FAVE sushi place: Sushi Factory. Seriously - you won't be disappointed!

    Loved loved loved the Magic of Lights - such a neat experience to drive around on the track and the lights were so beautiful. It was fun to figure out the 12 days of Christmas ("What's 3 "chickens" and an Eiffel Tower got to do with anything....oh! 3 French hens!") The staff are always very friendly when we've interacted with them, and it's just all very well organized. Beautiful display and we've been telling everyone all season that it's something they need to check out as part of their holidays!

    We'd been to the raceway a few times in the summer to watch the sprint cars and had a blast every time! Ps. Mini donuts at the concession in the summer are delicious and they pair well with a cold beer. The Magic of Lights was an amazing and beautiful display! The light displays are set up around the paved racetrack and you can either drive your own vehicle through or hop on the horse powered hayride if the weather is right! The display is very well done and definitely gets you into the Christmas spirit! You can tune to the corresponding radio station and enjoy some holiday tunes on your ride through! Great for all ages.

    The raceway is always such a good time. I went for the first time this year when the Rocky Mountain National was on. High octane action indeed! I've recently been again to check out the Magic of Lights event - totally worth checking out especially if you've got kids. The Raceway itself has plenty of facilities, food, washrooms, beer, everything you could need whilst checking out some epic cars launching themselves down the quarter (and half mile). Always a good time and I'll be sure to head back next summer to see some more races. I'm definitely hooked.

    I have not been to any other race tracks, so I have no basis for comparison. However, I can see there are so many issues with this facility, and I've been here dozens of times. Safety. I do not know what the safety standards are for a facility like this, but me just being an average joe, I've noticed many unsafe things that whether it was required or not, I would take care of. First, regarding street legals, I have seen a photographer on the track, not behind a barricade, taking photos. At the very least, she should have been wearing a safety vest. All drivers are required to wear helmets and no shorts allowed, yet motorcyclists can go down the track and insanely high speeds with no protective gear (other than a helmet and jeans). Second, when you drive in, there is always someone standing in the middle of the road, to direct you which way to go. Again, this person should be wearing a reflective safety vest, and is not. Castrol Raceway is open way past sunset, so again a blatant disregard for safety. Third, the bleachers at the new road course. What a disgusting hazard. They should not even be accessible by the public. It is sitting on uneven ground and wobbles when you walk on it. There is more than enough room for a child to fall through. And if you want proof, just google the accident they had last year when someone riding an ATV WITHOUT A HELMET was airlifted to hospital in critical condition after a crash during drag racing. I believe it was a staff member. Again, blatant disregard for safety. Yes, helmets are not legally required on ATVs, but this is a race facility, with people going high speeds. You would think basic safety would be implemented here. Well I guess it is... very basic safety and nothing more. And I've expressed my safety concerns with this facility before and they've never been addressed. I do enjoy Friday night street legals, and will continue to go, because there is no where else to go.

    All the lights.

    Castrol Raceway is really using their facility to its advantage in the winter as they are hosting Magic of Lights. We went on a horse-drawn (no horses though!) sleighride behind a truck to see the magical lights and characters. There are dragons, seals playing hockey and even a whole nativity scene. We also took a ride along the track via our own vehicle, which was much of a warmer experience. You definitely have to go slow though to be careful, as well as take in all of the lights. The most impressive part is the end where you drive through a tunnel of lights! There is a bit of a vehicle back-up in the area as I am sure that everyone is trying to get the best photo. ;) Definitely a must see this winter!

    Some of the offerings at Absolute Annihilation Night!

    Absolute Annihilation Night at Castrol Raceway is a crazy loud and fun night out for kids and adults alike! It usually takes place over Father's Day and Labour Day weekends (although check the website for this year's schedule). I don't follow Nascar, drag racing, or have much interest in Castrol's other racing events, but this is different. There are school buses racing! Ambulances racing! BMX bike tricks! Dropping cars from big cranes! Jet cars! And my personal favourite, mattress racing!! What is mattress racing? Well, I'm glad you asked! In people's own beat up cars, there is a driver and a passenger, each with their window open. A mattress lays on the roof of the car, and both driver and passenger have to hold onto one side of the mattress to prevent it from flying away... while they're racing against others around the track! (I know, right? Who comes up with this stuff!?) Kids LOVE this night, and there are tons of them out here! There is quite a bit of stadium seating on bleacher style seats, nothing fancy. Some people bring seat cushions or fold out seats that give them a bit of a back rest. There are also typical overpriced carney-style concessions there if you get hungry. Tickets are a tad overpriced at but definitely affordable for a fun night out $25 for adults, $15 for youth 6-15 and seniors, and free for kids below 5. Bring earplugs!

    Nice

    A great place to enjoy different types of racing. Check their schedule online to see what's on. We enjoyed motorcross, circuit dirt track races and best of all, nitro and jet drag racing! Bring your earplugs!

I've heard good things from past visitors, but sadly I couldn't have had a more opposite experience. Many games were broken down, as were the registration terminals, everything is over priced, the building was freezing, it was so LOUD I had to scream all night to talk to my friends... Let's make this simple: it's exceptionally rare I'll bother with a 1-star review because I'd rather focus on the positive and just write off meh experiences. We're all human, bad days happen, etc. To earn a 1-star you've really got work for it and miss pretty much every single bar that I could possibly lift for you to at least get a 2. So, here we are with the 1-star. Just skip it and save yourself the money. Kids might like it, but parents will significantly overspend for a very mediocre experience that could be much better elsewhere for a comparable, if not better, price. Very disappointed, but happy to say I have no interest in, and won't be, returning.

    All round great experience. Staff friendly and helpful. Everything bright and clean. There was even…read morea restaurant. One of two courses wasn't running. But there were lots of new arcade games being set up on the second race track, so they might be working to make the experience even better there. Cars fast and racing serious. They even have pro events. Would recommend for the whole family.

    I attended The Edge Motorcycle Training Inc - this is not a SPAM review - I did complete the course…read moreand enjoyed most interactions with the instructors but the company owner/mgmt staff was horrible to deal with (rude, demeaning, condescending and just overall unpleasant - I don't like giving my hard earned money to companies like this if other options exist). Looks like I'm not the only one w this opinion/review - not surprised some would also feel the need to share this type of experience. Find it humorous how much effort the company puts towards arguing all the negative reviews - I can relate to the details of the negative or low stars reviews. Nice to see some positive reviews...but my experience here was terrible. I witnessed numerous encounters where the owner/staff was offensive to other customers as well. The instructors would receive a 3 star rating but this is a 1 star rating due to owner's downright rude and offensive attitude. It's just completely inappropriate business conduct/acumen.

    To Anonymous R, Ryan S and other names you guys go by. Get a life! I get you have a negative…read moreresponse and that's ok but you keep posting over and over and OVER.... on all the review sites, get over it already! MOVE ON!! The more you post, the more it shows you have unresolved psychological/emotional issues from childhood. I had a fantastic time and as a female and NEVER been on a motorcycle, this was the SAFEST place for me to be trained with proper fitting SAFETY apparel. NOT on the road!!! Move on buddy!!! People, make sure you thoroughly read the company's site/policies, etc. EVERYTHING is on there!! We're not babies that need to be babysat here. Perhaps take a look at your own actions as well when your trying to lay blame, and see how you could/can improve (especially if you have a strong temperament). If you want to be in an environment with what YOU consider "safe", consider going elsewhere. (ever parachuted or been to a race track? You think they wear that stuff cuz it's "trendy", or unzipped cuz it's "too hot"??) I work in a Safety oriented world, and this training site meets and exceeds that! Thanks and have a GREAT day!
