A major new inclusion for Western Canadian NHRA Sportsman racing….
Canadian drag racing proponent John Scotti (Montreal PQ) has upped the anti once again for Canada’s drag racing scene.
John Scotti Automotive and NHRA’s Northwest Division Six has announced that the 2025 John Scotti Canadian Championship Series will be expanding — with a six-race series now for Western Canada.
The events will be held during Canadian National Opens at Mission Raceway Park (June 14-15), M.H.D.R.A Dragstrip (July 5-6), and RAD Torque Raceway (July 12-13). Each weekend will contain two separate events. 
Racers will compete for championships in eight categories: Top Comp (eighth-mile, 5.30 max dial), Super Comp, Super Gas, Super Street, Stock/Super Stock Combo, Sportsman Motorcycle, Junior Thunder, and Junior Lightning. Racers will claim their best five out of six events towards their point totals.
Champions will be celebrated with Wallys and jackets during the Northwest Division banquet in January 2026.
The John Scotti Canadian Championship Series launched in 2024 with a successful 12-race series in Eastern Canada with events across Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia.
* That Eastern Canadian portion has also been expanded for 2025 — to 14 races. (See details: HERE)
“After a successful debut last year in Eastern Canada, we are looking forward to starting up the series in our division and seeing it grow,” said Northwest Division Director Mike Eames. “Racers want more opportunities to win championships, and this gives them just that.”
“We are proud to bring the John Scotti Championship to Western Canada,” added John Scotti. “Racers from coast to coast can now compete in our own ‘Made in Canada’ series.”
