 Well, if you haven't noticed already, it's finally warming up outside and with the warmer weather comes the start of the season at Brainerd International Raceway. But as Clayton Castle tells us in this week's Northwoods adventure, you don't have to sit on the sidelines. You can hit the tracks as well. It's time to start your engines and gear up for the annual summer joy riding at the Brainerd International Raceway. We're talking Wednesday night street drag. Wednesday night drag races are where we invite people to come to BIR and Brainerd International Raceway. And we allow them to run their street legal cars or cars that qualify as street legal. So bring your car. We start at five and at dusk. Let's run what you brung. It's the old street light to street light, but we're doing it in a safe environment out here. Cars come from all over the area, from St. Cloud in Minneapolis to as far as Grand Rapids, North Dakota and even a stray Canadian. But what's even cooler than the diversity of the people is the diversity of the cars that show up to Wednesday night street drag. The diversity that comes in here, when I first started coming here, absolutely just astounded me. You have anything from Grandpa's 55 Chevy that the kids have tuned up and put some love into. Last year we had some Austin Martins. We had some Bentley's. Today we had a Tesla run down the track. There's some of the newer Dodge Vipers. We've had some Hellcats. We've had people take a lot of pride in their cars that run here. It's anything from the local 18-19 year old kid that has it on a very tight budget and there's some really nice cars here where people may not have a budget. And if Wednesday night street drag doesn't tickle your fancy, the Brainerd International Raceway offers more than just these drag races year round. Races out of the tracks, there's a couple places out of Minneapolis that will rent the track for their performance. There's a Porsche group that will rent the track on a road course. There's all kinds of these different organizations that are car clubs that rent the track for a day. And then on the weekends, just about every weekend we're in Division 5 and we have our local Division 5 races held here. That can bring anything from your local 9-10 second cars all the way down to some super gas cars. So there's a whole myriad of different types of cars that show up here. Now there will be 9 Wednesday night street drags between now and the end of the summer. Reporting from the Brainerd International Raceway Clayton Castle, Lakeland News.
