Swift Current Drag Racing
The Swift Current Regional Airport is generally the site for a range of passenger and cargo service flying in and out of the City. However,on August 9, the runway was transformed into a local raceway, as drivers from Swift Current, Regina, Medicine Hat and Brooks Alberta brought in their treasured vehicles for the second racing event of the season. Considered to be outlaw racing the local club holds this annual event as a way for enthusiasts to participate in the sport of racing no matter the car or skill level. From souped up cars of all makes and models to motorcycles and snowmobiles, everyone came to race.
