Grand Bend Motorplex in Grand Bend, Ontario once again hosts one of the largest community sponsored drag racing events in Canada. The Stratford Spectacular "Hot August Nationals" presented by Ideal Supply and NAPA Auto Parts will draw over 20,000 fans over the weekend of August 9 -11.

The three-day event will feature PMRA Pro Mods, PBSS Pro Bikes and Sleds, Quick 32 Sportsman Series, NDRA Alcohol Funny Cars, Nostalgia Nitro Funny Cars and a Top Fuel Dragster that will thrill spectators pass after pass.

Right from when the gates open each day, the "Hot August Nationals" racing action will be continuous right into the night under the lights.

The National Drag Racing Association will be there with their NDRA Alcohol Funny Car Racing Series on Saturday afternoon and again on Sunday for their third event of the 2013 season.
