@MotoramaShow • #dragracing • The very best of the Canadian drag racing fraternity will be recognized for their 2014 accomplishments at the Drag Racing Night of Champions, held as part of the Friday night (March 13) celebrations at the Motorama Custom Car & Motorsports Expo. The Motorama show runs March 13, 14, & 15 in the reconfigured Halls 1 and 2 of Toronto’s International Centre, located adjacent to Pearson International Airport.
This will be the second annual Drag Racing Night of Champions; its debut at the 2014 Canadian Motorsports Expo drew rave reviews from the drivers, promoters and sponsors.

“The Drag Racing Night of Champions is a season highlight for the racers. To have their successes featured in front of their racing peers is a special moment for any driver,” stated Andrew Stirk, Race Director for the DSE Automotive Sportsman Series. “From the business side, the Night of Champions is a great avenue to build awareness and to showcase the sport of drag racing. Any exposure, especially at a high profile event such as the Motorama show, can only have a positive effect.”
Stirk estimates that upwards of 50 class champions from a dozen drag racing associations and racetracks will be honoured at the Night of Champions. Each attendee will be interviewed on the Johnsonville Stage before being presented with a personalized award. Hosting duties for the second annual event will (tentatively) be shared between respected drag racing announcers Larry Satchell and Bill Richards, with the awards courtesy of DSE (David Stirk Enterprises) Automotive.
Concluded Stirk, “Any race, in whatever discipline, is tough to win. And winning a championship is even tougher. I’m very thankful that we’ll have the chance to recognize the achievements of the champions at the Motorama show. Many of the drivers have already received awards at their own galas, in front of their own dedicated fans. Now we have the opportunity to showcase their efforts to an entirely new audience.”
