Sanair Super Speedway is a motorsports park with a .826-mile (1.33 km) paved triangular oval race track, a quarter-mile dragstrip, a 1 1/4-mile road course, a 1/3-mile oval, as well as a .12-mile mini-oval and .15-mile karting course. It is located in Saint-Pie, Quebec. It hosted the Molson Indy Montreal from 1984 to 1986. The dragstrip previously hosted the NHRA's Le Grandnationals Molson until Canadian fuel regulations, prohibiting leaded race fuel, forced the NHRA to quit holding a national event in the country. It currently hosts races in the American Canadian Tour Sèrie ACT Castrol.
