For the Sixth Year, Miles of Mayhem Hosts a Six-Day Drag and Drive in Canada - Pat Myker’s Fourth-Straight Class Win Leads the Winners List
The drag and drive event listing started small, but in 2015, there were multiple events for the first time, including one in Canada. In 2026, there are five drag and drive events scheduled in Canada, including Miles of Mayhem.
For the sixth year of Miles of Mayhem, a solid mix of new entrants, as well as proven winners, gathered at Rad Torque Raceway in Nisku for the start of a six day adventure across Canada.

After getting started at host track Rad Torque Raceway for Day One, competitors traveled to Central Alberta Raceway (C.A.R.) in Rimbey for Day Two. But weather just over a day previously left the pits just wet enough to create muddy conditions, and combined with track prep, conditions were deemed too poor to continue racing, scratching that second day from counting on-track results.
Day Three brought the tour to MHDRA Drag Strip in Medicine Hat, followed by Saskatchewan International Raceway (SIR) in Saskatoon for Day Four. Area 53 Raceway in Forestburg hosted Day Five, and then returned back to Rad Torque Raceway to finish the event and crown champions.
For the fourth straight year, Pat Myker’s supercharged 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle scored not only the Outlaw class win, but also the overall best average, at 4.93 seconds.
Another driver that continued to show his mastery at Miles of Mayhem was Kyle Robb. The 7.5 Second class had the orange Dodge pick up with Robb at the control on top for the third straight year, with Tokyo in second and Ray Dueck in the number three spot.
Tyler Gaudet scored his second-straight Pro Street title, guiding his Mopar to a 5.87 average to score the win over the 5.94 average of Dan Bold, and Brett Nanooch’s 6.03 average.
The Small Tire class was captured by John Schmidt, using a 5.77 average to score the victory.
For the first time in three years, the N/A class would crown a new winner. Mike Lippman’s 6.77 average scored the win over a stacked field, with Stephan Betker second and Dave Lippman rounding out the top three.
Daniel Gallant put his name atop the Modern Muscle class for the win, using a 6.42 average that held off Ryan Grassi by just four hundredths of-a-second. DJ Clark picked up third place.
The Stick Shift class (also referred to as the Manpedal class) had Dwayne Paulgaard produced the best average for the class win with a 6.83 average. Brent Strauss was close behind with a 6.89 average, and Derek Hansen recovered from an off-pace run on Day One to clock a 7.11 average for third.
Stephen Grundke led the Truck and SUV class after day one, but a trio of run slower than normal knocked the defending class champ out of the top spot. That allowed Tyler Boles to slide into the top spot with a 6.36 average, with Jake Perkins in second and Greg Luyks third.
Chris Jervis celebrated with family after finishing Day Six with the win in the Bracket class, the largest class of the Miles of Mayhem event. His .067 average off his standard set e.t. held off Norm Johnston by just twenty thousandths of-a-second, and Justin Grey was just eight thousandths behind Johnston in third.
The Plan B class title would go home with Rhonda Harder. She averaged out at .178 of-a-second, topping Chris Ward and Sullivan Groff, who finished second and third in class.
