The West Edmonton Mall Grand Prix of Edmonton.

God I hate the concept of title sponsors :shakehead

And I fully realize that CCWS needs the money.

Yes, but that is a big mall.
I remember how folks scoffed at Centrex Financial, when they became title sponsor of the Denver race. Turned out that they were the best you could ever hope for in promotions and organization.

That mall is almost big enough to have the race inside.

Almost?.....you could fit the track, stands and parking lot a few times in the mall!

Hey, if you're there you might as well go for a submarine ride.

Why didn't they just put a roof over the whole dang province?

Nah, that'd work better for Saskatchewan, it's more of a big rectangle...

How about The West Edmonton Mall of Edmonton presents the Edmonton Grand Prix of Edmonton, Edmonton Canada? :D

Seriously, couldn't have just been The West Edmonton Mall Grand Prix?

Well the way I understand it, that mall could handle the race inside of it.

Had this discussion on another board...

This isn't just a mall, it has a full waterpark, an amusement park, a hotel, a casino, submarines, bowling alleys, mini golf...

Maybe they should call it the The West Edmonton Mall/Waterpark/Amusement Park/Hotel/Casino/Submarines/Bowling Alleys/Mini Golf Grand Prix of Edmonton featuring the Bridgestone Presents the Champ Car World Series Powered by Ford, just to avoid any confusion.

It's about a 10 minute drive, 15 or 20 in traffic. Pretty far by Edmonton standards... small city. :)

WEM really needs to do a "go kart through the mall" time trial between a few of the drivers.

To use that name they would need the approval of the Department of Redundancy Department.

The WEM has 3 McDonalds. Should it be included once or three times.
