10 years ago today (Oct 21 2011) this racing facility in Calgary AB Canada closed it's gates. I spent many weekends of my youth at this track, and was only le to drive it in the last few years the track remained open. This was a bit of a passion project for me, and whilst I still have some improvements to make here and there, in it's current state, it has still got me shaking in excitement, reliving those memories. I've also attached a video here, from my youtube channel featuring a bit of history on the facility, some of my memories of being there, and a tour of the AC re-creation of it. Enjoy!

Has a weird pit road glitch were it will lock controls or just crash but the mod itself is wonderful

Is this happening to you on the road course or the oval? I'm aware of the oval pitlane penalty problem. For single player vs ai, disable penalties, if racing online use the oval layout labeled Online. The pitlane is so close to the back straight it thinks you're driving the wrong way.
Thanks a lot for your work ! It's always great to see when someone puts his lifeblood into a project like this, even if it's not perfect it shows the spirit of the racing community ! Keep on racin' !
Really nice track! Great for running old SCCA style grids on, could do with maybe a bump up in pit numbers. Really came alive once I thrashed together a quick and dirty RainFX & GrassFX config.

Sorry for the late comment on this, I was struggling to get rain-fx working. No matter what I did I couldn't get it to show up (I have preview version) mind messaging me? Maybe you could point me in the right direction, rain-fx is something I'd like make work on this eventually.
Nice work one thing CM reports its in version 0.85
very good stuff dude!! the update made it much better thank you.

Thank you, glad I'm headed in the right direction haha. ️
Thank you for working on the road course so quickly. Other than the track map, things are great now.

I honestly forgot about the ai issue until you mentioned it, so thanks for the review! If any issues pop up let me know
Looks nice. However, the track map doesn't match the course and the ai are very confused when running a full grid (most drive all over the place). Unraceable with the ai at the moment.

I ran into the Ai issue recently. For now, if you download v1.0, the Ai should be a bit more reasonable. I've been backed up with other projects, but I will be addressing it. Thanks!
So good! I raced there and its pretty accurate and brings back memories!
Heartfelt, bittersweet video.
I loved Racecity when it was open. The last time I went was when they had monster trucks and a jet car to burn up a van on the oval. Very faithful recreation. Happy to see it in AC.
awesome job Emerson... great tracks... so many oval tracks and nobody racin on them... come check out our league..

I got into sim racing many years ago which led me into racing karts in 2012 and still racing at CKRC in Strathmore. Sadly I never the opportunity to turn laps at Race City but thanks to you I just did 20 laps in a Tatuus in VR and man it was awesome! Great work.

That's awesome! Glad you were finally able to experience it!
Your passion for this clearly shows. I especially loved hearing about the track's history in the video you made. Make sure to put some more screenshots of the track on the page btw! Your work is great and should be shown to as many people in the best quality possible.
good mod looking forward to getting used to some old school tracks
A lot of potential here. I really like the vintage setting. Still a lot of work to go to reach that top level. But I definitely seeing this developing into a solid track mod no matter what.

What year is the track set in? Looks like the late 1980s or early 1990s from what I can tell.

It's a bit of a mix, depending on my reference photos. Main reference was Google earth historic imagery, and I primarily used 2008 as a reference, but I used photos from my mom's old photo albums, some of the photos I even used to texture things (such as the billboards) and those date back to 1990.
The story is what this is all about. Loved hearing your attatchment to your track, it is something I can absolutely relate to. It is fantastic you made the track. Thank you

Thank you! I'm glad you found the track. I have to admit it's pretty cool hearing that from you, as the MAD Formula MFTC3 mod is one of my favorites.
Cheers!
