Attention in the pits!
Please read the information below in full.
Please check the Master Driver Checklist below to ensure your driver number and spelling of your name and other information is correct. The driver number on the list is your personal and permanent driver number and is the number you will need to use on your Registration Form, Tech Form, and on your Vehicle Windows on race day. This is the number you will use for all McNeill races this season and future seasons, as well as if you race at the Saratoga track. This number is to be used regardless of the class you compete in, the vehicle you drive or if your switch vehicles over time. Shared vehicles use the same number for both drivers in both classes to avoid confusion in the tower. Anyone who knows racers who are not on the internet please let them know or let me know.
*Note: if your number is not correct, you wish to change it, or any of your information is incorrect please contact me by email at dragracing@island-oasis.ca as soon as possible so I can make adjustments before registration begins. Additionally, if the vehicle you are racing this season has changed from past seasons, driver change or the car is shared, please let me know as we plan to update the computer system before we pack it up to take to the first race. If you are a new racer to the NITA track and do not have a number or if somehow your number was lost in the computer data transfer, please contact me as soon as possible.
*Note: This DOES NOT guarantee you a space for the event(s)! This is just for information purposes only!
Notes when marking your windows on race day. Order is:
Line 1: Class [Space] Driver Number
Line 2: Dial in
*Line 3: If your car runs alcohol, put a capital A with a circle around it.
All lines must be 6” high and very clearly written to help the Tower with accuracy and efficiency. For those racers who wish to put permanent driver numbers on their windows they too must be 6” high. For those with limited window space or on motorcycles just do your best. ????
To avoid class confusion, classes are to be shown as:
ST = Street
P = Pro
SP = Super Pro
Jr = Jr. Dragsters
*Note: Sportsman Class will be known as Street Class to avoid confusion with Super Pro. This change does not determine the requirement for the class.
Using Tim Walton as an example:
SP 619W
5.65
Two classes should be shown with a /
Using Tim Walton as an example in Pro and Super Pro:

"Rumble On The Runway delivered unforgettable weekend"
We were featured in the North Island Gazette! Check out the full article using the link below.
The Rumble On The Runway's second race of the year, held on July 15 to 16 at Port McNeill Airport, was a big hit!
The event attracted 97 cars and racers from different parts of Vancouver Island, including Victoria, Port Alberni, Nanaimo, Courtenay, and Campbell River. The races featured both male and female drivers, as well as a special program for young drivers called Junior Dragster. Even a traveler from Iran documented the event on his blog, adding an interesting international touch to the races. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police also paid a visit and were impressed with how well the event was organized.
The races had a positive impact on the local economy and community, with around 85 participants coming from outside the town, accompanied by an average of three people each. This influx of visitors supported local businesses by spending money on fuel, food, groceries, and dining at restaurants. The Port McNeill and Hyde Creek Fire Departments were also present to ensure everyone's safety, and the airport efficiently managed both the races and regular air traffic. The community support for the event was overwhelming and greatly appreciated by the organizers. Overall, it was a successful and enjoyable weekend of racing and camaraderie!
