We weren't quite sure what to expect when the 2008 schedule was released and a new round was schedule for Edmonton's Castrol Raceway. Though the track didn't exist a until a few weeks ago, everyone has been working hard and the all new track is in great shape. It should be a great weekend of racing! Here's a few shots from Saturday's practice.
