    Default Track ???

    im a newb
    sorry for the ignorance.
    but i was just looking at some videos from this site and i
    was wondering where is the Track located ??
    also would it be worth my while to take a 92 240sx to that track?

    Race City Speedway, in Calgary. You're from edmonton? There's a lot of edmonton guys that come down to Calgary during our track days.

    People DO run better times in Edmonton because it's 1000ft lower than Calgary. Better air, better power!

    thx for the info rage2...

    so what would i have to do to come out and
    try my car at the track. it looks really fun
    but with all the links you have given me it seems
    that all the cars are really high class and fast
    i just have a little inline 2.4 n/a
    hopefully that n/a will change one day

    Everyone's welcome. There's a good mix of fast and slower cars. Passing only allowed on the straights, so everyone gets along well .

    Don't need a fast car to have fun at the track I had a riot in my 165hp Impreza RS, and it definetly wasn't the fastest thing out there by any stretch of the imagination. As long as you come out to have fun and learn something, its all good
    Drag racing is for fast cars. Solo 2 is for fast drivers.

    You don't need an exotic car. I've lapped my Focus at Racecity and had a blast.

    For Edmontonians , here's another track near you. It's in Ft Saskachewan and it's a really nice track. I drove it during an SVT event last summer. http://www.stratotech.ca


    Regarding the better 1/4 mile times in Edmonton. I think they prepare their track better too. Racecity's track is quite slippery..

    Mustangs make very interesting machines for road course use We're in the process of converting an '89 LX Notchback into a full out road race car, but I had the chance to use it basically stock at a couple lapping days last year . The car is an absolute hoot to drive at the track, and the handling is surprisingly good all things considered.

    Keep in mind that all the newcomers must take a beginner saftey and road course instruction by an instructor to be able to participate. This minimizes the chance of any accidents, and ensures everyone knows the rules, the environment and issues that can arise from negligence.

    As for cost time place etc, this has yet to be determined for this coming season. It will be in the works.

    In the past we held the the day of the event... and we have also had people go to actual driving schools. There are some people who come out with the wrong attitude and that is what we don't want as it causes issues for everyone.

    AS I said for this season it is still to be determined. I will provide plenty of time for you all to get things together. A new seperate post will be created once the dates are booked
