ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONALS 2026
The 23rd Annual Rocky Mountain Nationals return to RAD Torque Raceway for a full weekend of nitro, noise, and no-holds-barred drag racing! This is THE Canadian premier drag racing event, where North America’s top teams roll in with their quickest machines and their sights set on the win light.
Feel the grandstands rumble as Nitro Funny Cars, Nitro Altered’s, Pro Mods, Top Fuel Harleys, Alcohol Dragsters, and Jet Cars unleash their full power down the strip. It’s a weekend built on raw speed, burning rubber, and the kind of passes that make your chest vibrate.
