I am NOT affiliated with any organization or individual other than the EMRA. The following statements are mine and only mine, I am not speaking on behalf of the exec or any member.
I do NOT disagree with any company supplying track attack day services. I disagree with the owner/operators of a private company being members of the executive offering the same or similar services. I disagree with any executive member of the EMRA having a conflict of interest and remaining on said board. A conflict such as this puts the EMRA in a position where it could lose its "Not for Profit" status. I have spoken with both the Registries and Alberta Gov't on this matter and I was surprised to understand that it is not within the governments protocol to chase this, but it could happen if an outside source initiated it.
Furthermore, I wanted to understand what had happened in the last year (2019) that lead to the expulsion of one of our members. I had reached out to the EMRA's insurance company to try to understand this better. I can provide copies of those emails for reference.
Below are two direct quotes from those emails:
HI Norbert
There are no issues moving forward with Rob Darlington.
The letter was from their lawyer sent to the club. It was a notice from the families lawyer. Nothing that I am aware of came from their letter.

HI Norbert
As mentioned yesterday, this is not an insurance issue. You can discuss with the membership if that works.
As for specifics, the general feeling is you do not allow a claimant to utilize your business while they are a claimant. I am not sure of the process the board went thru when the letter came in. it is now history.
