This is no ordinary race weekend – the Rocky Mountain Nationals are Canada’s largest and most anticipated drag racing event, drawing thousands of fans over three action-packed days. Don’t miss a moment as a full lineup of professional and amateur car and bike racers from across Western Canada and the United States hit the track at breakneck speeds.
