MAY 12, 2017 – CAYUGA, ON – Headlined by the breathtaking smoke, fire and 500 KPH (300 MPH) performances of the Northern Warrior and Terminator Jet Dragsters, the Victoria Day Weekend Drags, May 19-21 at Toronto Motorsports Park In Cayuga, Ontario, promise to deliver an outstanding weekend experience that includes free camping with the purchase of weekend general admission to the event.
Making their first appearance of 2017 on the quarter-mile (400 metre) racing course are the always crowd-pleasing Pro Modifieds. Modeled after production cars ranging from the 1950’s to modern day muscle cars, these highly modified, custom built machines produce smoky burnouts and speeds of more than 400 KPH (250 MPH) with horsepower provided by a supercharged, nitrous or turbocharged engine combination.
Top Alcohol Funny Cars will also bring their historic racing lineage to the event, with speeds in excess of 400 KPH (250 MPH). Best known for their hinged carbon fiber bodies, which allow the driver and crew to access the engine and drivers compartment prior to competition, and their unpredictable nature on the track, these cars were made famous in the 1960’s when competitors began to heavily modify production vehicles, thus having them referred to as “funny looking cars”. The name stuck.
Supporting the event will be the 1/8th mile racing action of Outlaw 10.5, plus the best sportsman racing action in the country, which will include the NAPA Ultimate Showdown Series and its Top Dragster and Top Sportsman competitors, as well as the Race Cayuga Sportsman Series and CAN-AM Stock/Super Stock Series.
Putting the topper on each day of competition is the inclusion of live entertainment each night in the trackside bar.
