WPSA CONTINUES WITH TRAUMA CARE EMERGENCY
SERVICES FOR ’08 SEASON
(White Bear Lake, MN -
01/03/08) - After a highly professional
and successful alliance with Trauma Care
Emergency Services during the 2007 PowerSports
ATV Tour, the WPSA announced today that they
will continue to provide all of the riders,
visitors and staff attending each of their 2008
venues with what they consider the ultimate in
motorsports medical personnel by retaining the
services of Georgia based (TCES) Trauma Care
Emergency Services.
"TCES is a professional, special event
medical service and motorsports safety provider
that we feel sets the EMS standards for today’s
ATV racing community. Our goal, along with TCES,
is to ensure the well being of each and everyone
on site during one of our events. TCES provides
us with the assurance that we are doing
everything we can to promote safety and provide
our racers, families, friends and fans with
nothing less than state of the art emergency
services," Kent Lungstroum, spokesman for the
WPSA, said.
Trauma Care Emergency Services will travel
from their home base in Georgia to each and
every event on the 2008 PowerSports ATV Tour
schedule. This consistent familiarity with the
operations of the WPSA and national ATV racing
events and venues ensures the availability
of EMS services unsurpassed by any other ATV
promotional group operating in the United States
today.

In a statement regarding Trauma Care
Emergency Services, Lewis McClain said, "My
partner and co-owner, Joshua Wheelis, and I, are
pleased that the WPSA understands the importance
of professional EMS services at each of their
events. As a company specializing in power
sports events, we plan with the local EMS and
Fire agencies before we show up at a venue, not
out of necessity, but as an expression of
professional courtesy. By doing this we are able
to set up positive working relationships and
communication networks with local services which
allow us to offer a co-operative meshing of
these local services with our TCES
services resulting in state of the art emergency
care."
McClain went on to explain some of the
details of TCES. "We maintain medical teams at
each race that are able to assess, triage and
treat any injury we may encounter and still have
personnel available for other injuries that
occur. Our personnel will not set foot on a race
track unless they have been trained and
personally approved by myself and Joshua. This
maintains a very stringent level of
professionalism and situational awareness that
benefits everyone attending a WPSA event."
"Our Medcart along with our Track Response
Teams are outfitted with the same equipment that
is normally carried by an ambulance, plus some
that is specifically tailored for power sports
racing in order to handle any type of emergency
which could possibly arise. We provide our Track
Response Teams with specialized equipment and
training to aid them in doing their job safer,
faster and more efficiently. We insure that our
teams are all trained to work safely on ATV
tracks where most ambulance staff is not. Our
teams have over 10 years of experience working
with power sports events so we believe we have
the perfect setup for any venue of any size
visited by the WPSA’s PowerSports ATV Tour."
In addition to providing the services of
Trauma Care Emergency Services, the WPSA
provides Participant Accident coverage for ATV
participants. This coverage offers $3000 for
Accidental Death and Dismemberment along with
$3000 Accidental Excess Medical Expenses which
covers any out of pocket expenses that a
participant may have that their primary health
coverage does not cover.
