In what has turned in an amazing day following our weekend’s points series banquet – leading the news releases is IHRP announcement that Bullseye Power Turbochargers are once again on board in a big way!

This year ANY entry powered by Bullseye Turbos receive free entry into any and all Friday test sessions that we book before our weekend events, including the RPM Magazine Smackdown4 powered by Maxima Racing Oil!

“Depending on how popular our test sessions become this could lead to about $400 of saving for those of our racers that would be attending the test sessions.” – Ian Hill, Series promoter. “We are very fortunate to have such great marketing partners, this being year two of our partnership Wild Bill took me aside and said he’d love to give back to the customers that support his business while also supporting the series! What an amazing idea to partner up and present the Bullseye Power Turbocharger Test Sessions for 2020!

This just in… No Clock Small Block is coming to Canada!

Quebec Grudge Wars and Ontario Grudge Wars have always maintained a similar rule set between each other and this time is no different. With the ever growing popularity of the Limited28s class and the low ets it continuously sees we realized the separation of the combos needs a fix! The combo that seems to be being left in the et department is the Small Block Nitrous combo. So to fill the gap between the Street Class and the 235Outlaws class we felt the Nitrous Small Block combo was a good place to start!

“Once Lights Out Promoter Donald Duck Long announced the rule set for his 11th running of the popular event at South Georgia Motorsports Park we checked his rules out and realised they fit what we are all about – simple, easy to tech and basic! Steve (QGW) and I am very excited to see where this exciting class leads us and what support we get from the racers” – IHRP front man Ian Hill.

On the schedule side of things, our focus is to try to secure bigger payouts and draw more entries. So the only way to schedule it properly is to set our goals on having 2 day/ 1 race weekends for all classes! This will ensure that all classes can get finished, payouts made, and awards handed out at each weekend – barring weather!

Friday testing will be followed with the regular Friday night TNT. Saturday will feature the complete No Time Heads Up event from start to finish, which the Sportsman classes will begin on Saturday and Sunday, ensuring all classes will be completed and get their proper payouts and awards!

“With GBM Management’s announcement that they will be breaking ground on the STRP re-surface and concrete barrier project early May 2020, we couldnt be more excited to bring heads up class racing back to one of the pioneering facilities of Pro racing in Canada!” – Ian Hill

July 9, 2019 – From the office that makes shit happen at the super secret hide out of the OGW

With only 10 days to go till Southern Ontario’s most exciting car event of the summer, the RPM Smackdown3 is shaping up to be the premier street car drag racing event of the year! Now in its 7th year in Ontario, No Time Grudge based racing is at its peak again this summer.

After what was the most action packed an afternoon/ evening could be, the 2018 2nd running of the Smackdown was off the charts with some great match ups in the Outlaw and Limited28s classes. The growth that the Real Street class saw from the Smackdown2 to the fall small tire shootout was equally impressive and 2019’s RPM Magazine will be a show stopper! This year, with the addition of heads up classes 235Outlaws and Street Bikes, we are sure to put on a Saturday street car show of the old days! Add this with the large guaranteed payouts in Street275 and the Pro, Super Pro and Jr Dragster classes the July 19-21 weekend at Toronto Motorsports Park will be awesome!

The weekend features a test day Friday which flows into Saturday’s Heads Up and Sportsman classes. The Heads Up classes feature Outlaw Extreme, a Clocks Off, limited rules classes for any doors cars with 10.5w tires or less running off their share of the $10,000 class purse. Limited28s, some would argue the most popular heads up class around these days, features stock appearing cars with a few rules, running on 28″ tires with unlimited HP! These bad ass small tire cars will also be shooting their guns in an effort to nab some of the $10,000 purse for their class. Street275 is back and hosts a $4000 purse, the new 235Outlaws are hitting the track for a $1000 purse as are the Street Bike jockeys! Add to the mix $6500 in bottom bulb sportsman payouts over the weekend, $9000 in top bulb dial in purses, $1800 in jr Dragster purses, and a $200 per day per class bonus to the Bikes and Sleds and Extreme8.80s winners…. then on top of it all there is a RPM Magazine Smackdown3 Heavy Weight Championship Belt on the line for each!

All in all a weekend for the racer with over $45,000 in Payouts ready for those that prove perfection and luck can go hand in hand, along side the perfect weekend for the drag racing street car enthusiast as the amazing show they will see on Saturday July 20th!

Check out our website for details and rules, sponsor links and some profiles of the greatest racers in our area!
