For those of you that are familiar with Gimli Motorsports Park

Hi Just thought I'd mention that the Interlake dragstrip that is part of the Gimli Motorsports park is closing up , I'm most certainly disapointed as I now have my car finished and will have no place to go!!! For more info
here is the link InterlakeDragway.org

That's the shits. I got to race there once, nice community. You know Rich Bedford? He does some of our photography at SIR.

Has anyone heard of the "Gimli Glider" event. An out-of-fuel jetliner landed there during a drag race. The pilot knew of the disused former airstrip, and knew it was the only place in the area where he could "dead-stick" his airliner. The fuel shortage was caused by early conversion mistake of litres vs. gallons. I read about the incident in Readers Digest.
