Gimli Motorsports Park is a 235 acre multi-use motorsports complex with a 1/4 mile drag strip, a 1.3 mile road racing course, a 1.0 km Karting track, a 2 km motocross track and a special events area.
It was the site of the infamous "Gimli Glider" incident in 1983, an aviation accident in which Air Canada flight 143, a Boeing 767, mistakenly landed on the race track—which used to be a runway—with no fuel on board. There were no injuries reported, and the plane suffered minimal damage.
