The subject I chose was arguably the most important and most deeply affecting event to motorsports fans across the city of Calgary and indeed, the whole Southern Albertan region during the summer: The closure of Race City, Calgary's ONLY motorsports facility. Much controversy surrounds the subject, as well as many viewpoints out of which a story may be weaved. But since I was working with a very scant time limit, I narrowed down the perspective to one viewpoint.

The title I gave it is "Goodbye Race City" and the synopsis as I gave to promotions goes something like: "Race City Motorsports Park has been Calgary’s premiere venue for automotive sporting events since its inauguration in 1985. Either after this racing season or the next, Race City will close permanently in order to make way for the demands of a growing Calgary. With no replacement in sight, 'Goodbye Race City' looks at the impact this will have on a select group of enthusiast drivers
