that would be wicked. but it would also mean that there would have to be ALOT of road construction to make the road passable to those cars. calgarys got some killer potholes and manholes

well that would be wicked. I cant even describe how much i would love to be there. I dont think that it would be happening for probably another full year or 2.

That would be AMAZING !
But,as already mentioned,does Calgary have 4 miles of uninterrupted ,smooth roads ?? I doubt it !!

Some of the roads around the city are rough and so full of pothole and ruts,Bigfoot would be my choice of race car !!

Thats great news! Im pretty sure if there was a molson indy here that the city would get their asses in gear an pave out a course somewhere.

I almost flipped my lid when I heard about this! I've been waiting for years for it to come here. I went to vancouver to see it once and it was one of the best weekends of my life, sad I know. But bring it on!!!!!

Calgary could do it for sure. The roads in TO are beat ass and they manage. I was at the indy today, so much fun...can't wait for race day tomorrow!

I read somewhere that 3 locations were mentioned. One was downtown circuit, one was the Stampede grounds circuit and the last was the Race City road course...Of course no matter what venue would eventually be chosen there would have to be a lot of construction..
