About the Venue:
The 2008 ASN Canada FIA Canadian AutoSlalom Championships will be held at
Slemon Park Airport (CYSU) in beautiful
Summerside, Prince Edward Island.
Slemon Park is located at the edge of the city of Summerside. Once known as CFB
Summerside, the site was made available to the city of Summerside when the base was
decommissioned. The Slemon Park Corporation was formed to administer the facility.
A short 5 minute drive from Slemon Park is downtown Summerside.
The airport, built to handle heavy bombers, possesses a large and incredibly flat and smooth
surface. For 2008, the course will be set entirely on a concrete surface. The
area available includes approximately 59,000 square meters of concrete tarmac with maximum
dimensions of 610 meters in length and 115 meters in width. The surface is in excellent
condition, well drained, uniform, and free of obstacles.
