While Wawa's drag races may be over, racers have another local event to look forward to: Chapleau's first ever Gold Rush Nationals drag race.
While speaking with JJAM FM News in April - after an agreement was reached with the Township - Michel Sylvestre of the CRDC noted the Chapleau event will be similar to Wawa's, with Luskville Speedway running the races, as it does for Wawa's.
The inaugural Gold Rush Nationals Drag Race will be held at Chapleau's airport August 23rd to 25th.
