The events are set for Victoria Day Weekend, May 15-17, and Labour Day Weekend, September 4-6, 2026.

“Bruce Mehlenbacher’s Quick 32 Sportsman Series (Top Dragster and Top Sportsman) draw a great group of Canadian and American teams. We want those teams,” said John Scotti. “They’re second to none, all first-class teams, and great competitors. It is natural to include them again for the advancement of the Canadian Series.”

The event features two full days of qualifying and eliminations on Saturday and Sunday. There will also be a Test & Tune session on Friday.

“The Quick 32 Sportsman Series is looking forward to working with everyone at Toronto Motorsports Park, NHRA’s Glenn Grow and the NHRA John Scotti Canadian Championship Series Motorsports Park,” said Bruce Mehlenbacher of the Quick 32 Sportsman Series. “The teams are excited to be included in the event and to return to Toronto Motorsports Park.”

The event will feature classes such as the Quick 32 Sportsman Series (Top Dragster and Top Sportsman), Can-Am Stock/Super Stock Series, Nostalgia Super Stock, Super Comp, Super Gas, Super Street, and Junior Dragster. Competitors can earn NHRA grade points, which help determine their eligibility for major NHRA events and give them a chance to win a Wally, the most prestigious trophy in drag racing.
