At the formation of the Society, these three were joined by George Rickman, Timm Williams and George Rossi, this constituted the first board of directors for CART. The board was extended by 1 January 2021 to include Don Choquer, Bob Tonkin, Ed Stone, SKWAH 1st Nation Chief Roy Mussell along with Lester and Adam Mussell.

Then the work of building the track began in earnest. Mike Gregg oversaw design and doing the working drawings for the track. Russ Walsh was the driving force behind making the track come alive. The board was very active in all phases of the track from fund raising contruction and many hours of their time were spent on making the track a reality in 2021.
