Also unique to Extreme Events are the many giveaways to both fans and racers over the course of the weekend, and our special guest announcing staff will make your Extreme Event race experience high energy and unforgettable. These events are great for the hardcore enthusiast or the casual weekend fans!

The Canadian stop will be an all-out Drag Race Festival from Alcohol Funny Cars to Pro Doorslammers, Jet Car, Stock/Super Stock and much more, while the United States Extreme Event will be focused on the world’s wildest (and fastest) REAL street machines coming
