Stratotech is one of the few motorsports facilities in Edmonton and it's a great track. The track was built to be used for karting and motorcycles, so it's relatively narrow and tight compared to tracks that are built for cars. However, there are many days where the track is used by cars in a 'lapping' format. Basically, you race against the clock with about six cars on the track, spread out across it. There are two passing zones on the straights so that passes can be made safely. I've been to watch a few motorcycle racing events, quite a few drifting events and I drove it last year at a lapping day organized by the Calgary Sports Car Club. It's a challenging course but very fun. I was there last night watching a Speedway Performance event, that seemed very organized and looked like a lot of fun. I'll be out there racing once my car is sorted out. It was a good event for both novices and seasoned drivers. There's the odd exotic that comes out too, so that's always exciting to see.
The track itself is well maintained and there are bleachers that allow you to see nearly the entire track. There is lots of parking too. read more
