Re: Race City Motorsport Park


We are writing in support of your initiative to find a new location for Race
City Motorsport Park.

There is an overwhelming majority of motorsport enthusiasts in this city who
are law abiding responsible citizens who seek to continue enjoying their
sport at a proper facility in a safe and legal manner.

With the recent media attention given to street racing and the enactment
of several laws to discourage it, the availability of proper racing
facilities can only make the streets safer for all.

In addition to providing a safe and legal place for people to race, the
industry is a major source of revenue for many businesses operating in
Calgary.

The City of Calgary should make it a priority to see that facilities are
made available for motorsport racing events. These types of events can be a
large source of tourism income as well as another one of the many things
Calgary has to offer to people.

Following is a petition of people who are interested in supporting the
initiative to find a new location for the operation of a racing facility in
Calgary.

    • Towns of 10,000 have racetracks, so how can a city of 1,000,000 NOT have one? It is a popular and financially-viable sporting facility that needs to be taken seriously by the city.

    • not only will the loss be felt by the racing community, but also those within the hospitality industry. Racers spend money in hotels, restaurants, auto parts shops. these business' will feel the pinch in the long run.

    • If there is no track, I will race my BMW on the streets. BMW's are too fast for the streets, we need a track for these ultimate driving machines.
