The Quick 32 Sportsman Series opens its 2026 campaign at the NHRA National Open double‑header at Toronto Motorsports Park, May 16‑17, targeting early momentum, NHRA grade points, and prize money.
The event sits within the John Scotti Canadian Championship Series and features Quick 32 staples, Top Dragster and Top Sportsman, alongside Can‑Am Stock/Super Stock and several NHRA index categories.
Supporting classes include Nostalgia Super Stock, Super Comp, Super Gas, Super Street, and Junior Dragster, broadening the entry list and ensuring varied performance brackets across the ladder.
NHRA grade points are on offer, shaping eligibility for marquee national events later in 2026 and presenting opportunities to chase the sport’s emblematic trophy, the Wally.
Series backer John Scotti welcomes the season start after a long winter, expecting a strong roster and hoping favourable weather allows the schedule to run without compromise.
Performance carries financial upside. Top Dragster and Top Sportsman winners receive a $2,000 bonus, with $1,000 for runners‑up, strengthening participation incentives in the headline Quick 32 categories.
Fletch Racing and Engineered Racing Services fund those bonuses and introduce the Bounty Hunter Award for 2026, adding an extra target for teams seeking weekend‑defining match‑ups.
The National Open runs two full days of qualifying and eliminations on Saturday and Sunday, preceded by a Friday Test & Tune, aligning track time with Victoria Day weekend.
Series director Bruce Mehlenbacher links the weekend to Cayuga’s long‑running Kick Off to Summer tradition, underlining the track’s role as a consistent early‑season benchmark.
The Quick 32 Sportsman Series returns to Toronto Motorsports Park on September 4‑6 for Labour Day weekend, offering additional points and another high‑participation grid before the autumn stretch.
With a broad class mix and tangible rewards, the opener should deliver packed ladders, strategy‑driven qualifying, and closely matched eliminations, setting a clear competitive baseline for the 2026 campaign.
