The drag and drive community celebrated with Miles of Mayhem for the fifth time in Canada, as the annual event once again covered over 1700 kilometers across Canada (over 1000 miles) over six days.

Contestants battled the road, the weather, and each other, for the chance to win in ten different classes.

Competitors would visit Central Alberta Raceways, MHDRA Drag Strip, Area 53 Raceway, and Rad Torque Raceway. Unfortunately, Mother Nature put the damper on the first two days, pushing the competitors to Day Three at Area 53 Raceway before all of them would get track time.

But days three, four and five were able to get completed, to leave ten competitors smiling just a little more than they were at the beginning of the week!

After making a solid impression (and several big wheelies) in an 1983 Chevrolet Malibu station wagon during 2022 and 2023, including the 2023 edition of Sick Week, Colin Gee started thinking about a new car build for drag-and-drive duty.

Little did he know that just over a year after he started that build, it would have a blown-up engine, then Colin sold the car, and started on another build just this month!

After a little over a week between our last drag-and-drive event coverage, we jump back into the action with the recently completed fourth annual Miles of Mayhem event. Covering just over 1700 kilometers across Canada (over 1000 miles), contestants can compete in ten different classes.

Despite appearances that things are good on the surface, a racer’s mind can be a hamster wheel of thoughts both good and bad on their next run. In Colin Gee’s case, he started thinking about the 1983 Chevrolet Malibu station wagon he had finished in 2023, and his goals for the future.

“I’ve never run a seven-second pass, and if I can get one, I’ll leave a happy man.” Considering Kyle Williams finished second in the small tire class at the 2023 Miles of Mayhem event, TX2K would give him a solid chance for that 7-second blast.
