Coming down from a weekend of motorsports bliss, late night bands, and one hell of a good time.

I think it's great we have an event like this in this province, hopefully it continues to grow in stature... I noticed a Pacific Western plane in one of your photos, did West Jet introduce a retro cladding for this event?

Thumbs up! Gotta luuuv the intro shot and #2, racing car in the middle, wonderful skyline in the background.

The track is within city limits or within city fringes ? Looks like out on the prairie.

The track is well within the city limits. It is held on the site of the (soon-to-be) decommissioned City Center Airport.

If you look here, you can see the location of the airport within the city. The track itself was moved from the west side of the site to the east this year.
