New to DMS? You’re in the right place.
Our events are designed for anyone — especially first-timers.
WHAT IS DMS TIME TRIALS?
DMS is Edmonton’s grassroots motorsport series where drivers race the clock, not each other.
We run Autocross and Track Sprint events at Stratotech Raceway, just 15 minutes north of the city — safe, friendly, and beginner-friendly.
You don’t need experience, fancy mods, or a fast car.
If you can drive your car to the event, you can probably race it here.
