Race City Motorsport Park, also known as Race City, was a multi-track auto racing facility located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The facility featured a ¼ mile dragstrip, a 3.2 km (2.0 mi) 11-turn road course, and a ½ mile paved short oval.
The Race City grounds, known as Race City Speedway, was a regular host of Warped 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.
