Default Potential Indy Car Race in Calgary

Cool idea, but doubt there'd be enough support to bring an event like this to Calgary.

With the loss of the annual stop for American open-wheel cars in Vancouver in 2004, a staple of the series for 14 years, and the abrupt end to Edmonton's IndyCar event in 2012, Western Canada has been out of the professional and international racing loop for a few years.

Motorsport.com has learned that an appointment has been set up with the City of Calgary and Calgary Business owner Ric Peterson, co-owner of Schmidt Peterson Motorsports concerning holding an IndyCar race in the Alberta city.

"The main problem is having a location to run the race. We are meeting with the City of Calgary next week about the topic of holding a race here," said Peterson.
