DRAGS: St. Thomas Dragway released sked

SPARTA, ON - With the Superior Court finally releasing it’s decision on the long running court case, the 2005 St. Thomas Dragway Racing Schedule can now be released.



Highlights of the schedule include the return of the wildly popular Nitrous Nationals on Wednesday, July 13. With $4,000 to win up for grabs in the Pro Mod/Pro Street Shootout the 2005 version promises to be another must-see event.



The St. Thomas Truck Nationals returns for a third year, August 20 and 21, raising money for the St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital Foundation. The new in 2004 Nostalgia Class will return four times, July 13, August 7 at the Hot Rod Reunion, August 21 and October 9 at the IHRA Iron Man Classic. They will be joined by the crowd-pleasing Nostalgia Super Stocks at each event.



Back by popular demand the Can-Am Stock/Super Stocks will bring back their wild wheel-standing machines June 19 and August 7. A total of 12 bracket races will be run with the drivers competing for both track points money and the IHRA Summit Super Series season-end payoffs.



The Friday Night Street Legal Races as well as Saturday night’s ‘Run What Ya Brung’ programs will return running from April 1 until October 29. Many club events are planned as well as other special races. The only effect of the court case is that racing will not begin Sundays until 1 P.M.For further information, contact the track at 519-775-2263 or visit the website at www.stthomasdragway.com.
