Drag racing continues this weekend on two fronts for local racers.

Kham Shantz and Terry Frizzell are on a long road trip to “Drag Wars” in Grande Prairie, Alberta. Billed as the largest racing event in the Peace country, this event brings out up to 5000 fans to watch the drag racing, the large daily car show and to browse the large selection of displays and vendors. Shantz and Frizzell are looking to take a run at the “Quick 32” main event. First Prize is $5000 and Second prize is $2000.

Closer to home this weekend, is the 11th Annual Houston Drags. Running at the quiet rural Houston Airport, this ¼ mile race always features fast cars and great times. Last year was the first year for the Saturday night fireworks and this year promises to be even better. Drag racing begins Friday night at 6pm and Saturday and Sunday at 9am. Camping is available, for a fee, on site. See you at the Houston Drags.
