The Sunshine Coast Drag Racing Association (SCDRA) is ready to celebrate 20 years of burn’n it up at the strip, Sept. 7 at the Sechelt Airport (at the top of Field Road in Wilson Creek).
The races that are usually held in early August during the same weekend as the Sleepy Hollow Rod Run and Show n’ Shine were moved to Sept. 7 after poor weather led to the cancellation of the Aug. 11 event.
After a successful trial at the spring race, the burnout competition is back. Nick Chabot will defend his title and encourages everyone to come out and cheer the competitors. The burnout competition is open to all race participants.
For two wheeled drag racers, there’s the motorcycle class which is gaining popularity. Other classes are: Street Machine and Super Street for those with daily drivers. For the serious racers, Hot Rod and Street Rod are your class.
Airspan Helicopters will be offering tours of the local area during the afternoon and commemorative 20th anniversary T-shirts will be available.
During the awards presentations, the Vic Dubois Memorial Award will be presented to a member of the SCDRA who volunteers and demonstrates continued dedication to the club, and the community.
Cash prizes are available for all race classes, best reaction time, fastest ET and best burnout.
Bring your friends, chairs, sun screen and be prepared to have a good time! Please remember that pets aren’t permitted on the site.
The tech inspection is from 8 to 10 a.m. Racing starts at 9 a.m.
