Rev Up for the 26th Annual Superior Classics Car Club Drag Fest in Terrace Bay!
The Superior Classics Car Club Drag Fest in Terrace Bay is set to kick off this weekend, featuring drag racer Rob Horner and his jet-powered dragster reaching speeds of nearly 300 miles per hour. The event, now in its 26th year, attracts vendors, racers, and spectators from Ontario, Manitoba, and the U.S. The weather forecast promises sunny skies, ensuring optimal track conditions for the races. Despite facing competition from other racing events, the Drag Fest remains a popular attraction for racing enthusiasts.
The event organizers have been working tirelessly to enhance the racing facility, making improvements to the bleachers, buildings, and overall appearance of the venue. Volunteers play a crucial role in maintaining the track and ensuring a professional atmosphere during the event. Rob Horner's high-speed demonstrations are a major draw for spectators, adding excitement to the weekend of racing action.
Proceeds from the event go towards supporting various charities, including the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre, Our Kids Count, and the Cancer Society. The economic impact of the Drag Fest extends to the township of Terrace Bay, benefiting local businesses as visitors flock to the area for the event. Despite concerns about a proposed solar farm development on the airstrip property, organizers are confident that racing will continue for years to come.
As the event relies heavily on volunteers, the need for new recruits is becoming more pressing. The support of corporate, business, and individual sponsors, including the Township of Terrace Bay, is instrumental in ensuring the success of the Drag Fest each year. The races are scheduled to begin today, with the final rounds taking place on Sunday.
