Edmonton International Speedway, also known as ''Speedway Park'', was a multi-track auto racing facility located in the present Cumberland and Hudson neighbourhoods〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hudson Neighborhood Structure Plan / See page 8 )〕 of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The facility featured a ¼ mile dragstrip, a 14-turn road course, and a ¼ mile short oval. At its peak, it had capacity for over 30,000 fans. ==History== In the late 1940s, the dirt-surfaced Breckenridge Oval opened on the site. In 1952, the oval was shortened and paved as a 1/2 mile asphalt oval, and the facility was renamed ''Speedway Park''. The oval had seating for 8,000. In 1967, the 1/4 mile drag strip opened, and had a full length of . The following year in 1968, the road course opened in time for the first Can-Am race. Over the years, the facility also hosted Formula Atlantic, Formula 1600, Formula 5000, Trans-Am, as well as NHRA-sanctioned drag racing. Qualico Developments was the land owner in the latter years. The track closed in 1982 after the area was annexed by the City of Edmonton. Qualico then converted the land to housing. Edmonton would be without any form of professional racing until Capital City Raceway Park opened in 1991. David Cronenberg's 1979 movie Fast Company was primarily filmed at Edmonton International Speedway. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edmonton International Speedway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
