The complex includes a 2.7-km (1.68-mile) Road Course, a ¼ mile NHRA Dragstrip, a 10-acre Off-Road Track, a 3/8-mile Clay Oval Track, and a 12,000 m2 Drift Pad. The facility opened in 1991, with the oval track, and the road course broke ground in 2013. Edmonton is cold and snowy during half of the year, which means racing seasons start in May and last until October. Temperature is temperate, with moderate precipitation during the racing season, guaranteeing variable atmospheric and track conditions.
