Seems with the closing of Race City in Calgary, a bit of good news is on the horizon for drag racing fans.
The first new track in Canada in many years located in Rimbey just north west of Red Deer.
Looks like it will be a fine track to run.

Drag Strip Construction Update - January 2012
2011 was a very productive year for the CAR Drag Strip, thanks to the hard work of many individuals the drag strip base work has been completed. The drag strip elevations are above engineer design and significant work has been completed to expand and enhance the drainage to the entire facility. In the spring we'll all have our fingers crossed as the snow melts confirming correct water run-off grades. Afterwards the final seal can be put on the base work as the committee engages local companies to provide the finish paving and concrete work! If all goes according to plan we should be having our annual shoot-outs on the 1/4 mile drag strip in July.
Many thanks goes out to everyone involved in the design and construction of our 1/4 mile drag strip.
