Besides the great bracket racing from the International Hot Rod Association, there’s also the Canadian Motorcycle Drag Racing Association (CMDRA) on track. Gates open Friday at 5 p.m. with $10 for spectators and crew. Kids 12-under and seniors 65-over are admitted free.

NITRO Motorsports Park is well worth visiting, offering beautiful scenery and a 1/4-mile drag strip with a 5/8-mile shutdown area. Both racer friendly and fan friendly, there’s even a small lake stocked with trout and featuring a sandy beach area on property.

The IHRA Ironman Classic program is offered to all IHRA member tracks. Prior to this program, a Sportsman racer could only win an Ironman if they traveled to an IHRA Summit Team Finals, Sportsman Spectacular or World Finals. This program gives local tracks a chance to create extra excitement in their bracket program and offer competitors a chance to win the prestigious Ironman.
