Race City Motorsport Park, also known asRace City, was a multi-track auto racing facility located inCalgary, Alberta,Canada. The facility featured a 0.250 mi (0.402 km)dragstrip, a 3.200 km (1.988 mi) 11-turnroad course, and a 0.500 mi (0.805 km) paved short oval.
The Race City grounds, known as Race City Speedway, was a regular host ofWarped Tour.[1][2]
Race City was due to close around October 9, 2009. However, on September 28, 2009, Calgary city council voted in favour of extending the lease on Race City until 2015.[3] This decision was later overturned, and the track officially closed on October 21, 2011 due to expansion of the Shepard landfill.
