Second Helping of the East Coast Drag-N-Drive Finds Expanded Classes, Weather Battles, and Dan Dinan Scoring Top Spot with New Car as Miramichi Dragway Park in New Brunswick, Canada Hosts the Action!
After Jason Richardson successfully hosted his first drag and drive event, the East Coast Drag-N-Drive, in New Brunswick, Canada in 2025, the three-day event based around Miramichi Dragway Park would return in late June 2026 for a second helping.
Using the track as the starting point, competitors would be tasked with a trio of time slips (one per day), then a different drive each day after racing was complete. Complete it all, tally the averages, and crown the winners.
For year two, Richardson upped the ante with NHRA (National Hot Rod Association) Wally trophies for his returning classes: DYO (Dial Your Own), 9.50-Second Index, 10.50-Second Index, and the 11.50-Second Class. The winner of the new Unlimited Class would also receive a Wally.
