    Just outside of Calgary means about 90 miles (150km) and I believe that not a shovel of dirt has been turned over to date per info on their own site. Was also discussed a bit in this thread, but probably a good idea for this to have it's own thread.

    It says 97kms north of Calgary, not miles

    It's in between Strathmore and Drumheller as reference, if you were to draw a line connecting the two cities.

    From my understanding the nearby town council didn't allow it to be built.

    Do you have a reliable source for this info or is it just hearsay?

    The track has already been designed by Alan Wilson (wilsonmotorsport.com) who has designed Miller motorsports park (Salt Lake), Barber motorsports park (Alabama) which are considered amongst the best road courses in NA.

    YAY

    I have a feeling a lot of tires and fuel is going to be burned up when this place opens up!

    your thinking of the calgary kart racing club and their track near irricana.

    this track was defeated at the municipality meeting once, they said they only wanted a few more T's crossed and i's dotted. They didn't have any problem with the track they just wanted the appearance of being very thorough with the process.
    this won't just be a track though this will be a resort. so almost the exact same experience as driving to strato-tech in edmonton and spending a night in the hotel, or camping outta the back of your truck.
    phase one is getting the track up and running, then utilities, camp ground, motel/hotel, and amenities (spa, pool, convention hall.

    This design is very impressive. It would be remarkable to see this going through. The only problem is that unlike Salt Lake and Alabama, this track will be operational for, maybe, 6mths out of a year.

    Didn't know which thread to post in. Mod move or merge as appropriate
