The 95-hectare facility features a 1/4-mile dragstrip, a 1.3-mile road racing course, a one-kilometre karting track and a two-kilometre motocross track. The park hosts events for motorsports groups including the Winnipeg Sports Car Club, Drag Racing Association of Manitoba, Manitoba Roadracing Association (Superbikes), and the Manitoba Karting Association.[1] HistoryOn August 6, 1972 the Winnipeg Sports Car Club organized the first road racing event on one of the original decommissioned parallel runways of RCAF Station Gimli which had closed the previous year in September 1971. Racing switched to the current dedicated {{convert|2.09|km|abbr=on}} course in 1973.

There were no serious injuries reported, and the plane suffered minimal damage.[3] Interlake DragwayInterlake Dragway is a 1/4 mile IHRA sanctioned drag strip located inside the road course.
