I know this as I was recently to site to meet an architect about the Grandstand that is purposed for the new site.
Sorry, but United Horsemen of Alberta has been trying to build in in Balzac years before CrossIron Mills started, and they still don't have the money to put a track up. I will very much believe it when I see it.

I would love to see motorsports back in Calgary, but am a bit skeptical about the scope of the project as reported. In particular, I really think that a road course is something to do as a Phase 2 or 3. Build a good oval track, and maybe a drag quarter mile, and then take it from there. A great example would be Auto Clearing Motor Speedway in Saskatoon from the oval side.
