A weekend of drag racing, fireworks and family fun at St. Thomas Dragway
The DaSilva Racing Shootout takes over St. Thomas Dragway September 18th-20th, bringing a weekend of racing, entertainment and family activities.
Organizer Joe DaSilva says the event is designed to feel more like a festival, with a drag race in the middle of it.
The weekend will feature a car show with hundreds of vehicles, a kids’ zone, free Hot Wheels for children under 12, food vendors, camping and a number of high-powered attractions. That includes the world’s fastest jet truck, jet cars, wheelie cars and a wheelie fire truck.
Saturday night will feature the event’s Night of Fire, including an expanded fireworks display and a showcase of jet-powered vehicles.
New this year, DaSilva says, is a special competition featuring three groups of gassers and Super Stock racers.
Weekend passes are available for $95, with discounts available for seniors, while children under 12 get in free.
While there is plenty to look forward to during this year's Shootout, DaSilva says the best is yet to come.
The DaSilva Racing Shootout takes place September 18th-20th, with more information available through the event’s Facebook page.
