692. Edmonton International Speedway (Edmonton, AB - Canada)

Built on the site of an old oval known as Breckenridge Speedway the track was 2.5 mile long and surrounded a 1/4 mile paved oval.
There also was a Drag Strip.
This track was in use from 1968 until 1982 when it was demolished for development.
The track was visited by Trans-Am, Continental Formula A, Pro Atlantic and so on ...

The perspectif of the drawing probably spoils the exact location but it is based on the remains I found of the old oval. These remains can be seen in the pictures. They were confirmed by Canadian journalist Lawrence Herzog who happens to live in the neighbourhood.
