Here is some info on the motion to City Council to extend the Race City lease to 2015 - I know its not the best facility in its current state - but it is the only one we have at the moment.
Meeting is scheduled for Nov 3-4 (next week)
Feel free to cross post it to any other forums ....

Alderman McIver and Alderman Connelly’s joint motion to City Council is basically asking Council to direct the Administration to recognize the existing Race City lease (to 2015), and to ensure that road access is given in the construction of the landfill access. It’s pretty much as good as we could ask for, if it passes.
There is no opportunity to speak to the motion for the public and the motion might be dealt with anytime between about 6pm on Monday and 4pm on Tuesday, according to McIver. He thought a show of support would be useful but he cautioned that the time involved to be there could be very long.
Perhaps the best thing for us to do would be to get those involved in the facility, or who have businesses or clubs involved in the facility,
to email the alderman where they live, or where their business resides and tell that alderman what affect losing the track would have on their lives in the City of Calgary.
