Nice spot for autocrossing would be a great, also hoping they get some sweet rental go-karts!

Yeah I should have clarified that I ment fast karts that regular people can go rent and ride... Like every other city seems to have

[Datsun-Fever]

An airport? im sure we all hope it actually happens, but if it does I really hope we get a nice road course before an executive airstrip.

[ExtraSlow]

Executive airstrip could be a real moneymaker. Springbank is already the 11th busiest airport in Canada, the Calgary region could totally support another small airport.

..... and with the new development of 10,000 people going in i see more restrictions at springbank. A new airport may be good.

What people are going to buy a home next to an existing airport, then complain and petition for its closure...

Are you gunna cry when u have to drive 30-45mins to get to a BETTER go-kart track with fun karts? No it won't be in Calgary, the city of Calgary has given us a CLEAR picture that they don't give a shit, so the ppl who DO CARE have worked their ass off to come up with this plan, actually put it in motion for us.............and your bitching why?

"ya fuck w/e they will scrap half the shit and it'll be another POS race city" that's basically all I could translate from your statement. If that is truely what you believe then your retarded, plain and simple. If they hope to make something that WON'T get run down like race city, then they MUST do all the things they have proposed, and they damn well know it. Will EVERYTHING be done by 2014? No, of course not, but I expect the drag strip will be open and possibly an area for autocross and drifting, maybe even the oval will be completed by mid summer 2014. I really don't understand what your "expectations" are of this track but from where I'm standing you sound like a garage queen smearing shit all over the place just because u can. Sit back, shut your trap, and watch as an amazing track is developed for us. And if it takes till 2015 or even 2016 for it to be open to public use, SO BE IT YOU FUCKING BABY.

Bravo...couldn't have said better myself

I'm assuming they'll end up scrapping at least half of the planned features. The day this city sees a decent Go-Kart track with fun Karts is the day hell freezes over.

Used to have them in Calgary at Kart Gardens (if you're old enough to remember that).

I think the cat is out of the bag too early. They are still trying to buy-in from surrounding site before applying for loan.

Chances of this happening is 50/50 at best.

The airport idea is great and make the group to have revenue year round. But we are still dealing with 4 months of driving season at most.

Based on that Miller shouldn't be successful either, but it is. Miller also cost >$100 million to build, so the threshold for success for this development would be lower, and there are more income opportunities with this track if they do indeed include an airstrip and the likes.

anyone know if this is in conjunction with badlands? http://www.badlandsmotorsportsresort.com/

Man if you need lessons in tact and how to successfully chirp... My door is always open.

No completely different groups

[Z_Fan]

I hope it happens. IMO anyone who is trying to do something with their ideas/time/money is to be applauded. Do I think it will happen for 2014? No way in hell. But if it does, I'll be there at the Grand Opening.

Why do people keep on talking about the city of Calgary? This is in Rockeyview, so isn't this all in their hands?

Part of it is within Airdrie and part of it is within Rockyview County. They need approvals from both jurisdictions.
