Salt Lake City, Utah -- Rocky Mountain Raceways is set to host an explosive night of drag racing with their annual Night of Fire Jet Car Show on Saturday, September 26.
Fourteen jet cars from all over North America will converge on the Salt Lake Valley for this drag racing event. These are some of the loudest and fastest cars burning rubber on Rocky Mountain Raceways drag strip.
Crowd favorites, Brad and Heather Janishewski will return with their jet cars, Rollin Thunder and Her A Cane.
"This is going to be one of the largest jet car races in North America,"
said Brad Janishewski, a resident of Canada.
Other jet cars expected to appear include War Wagon Half Track, Secret Weapon Tank, Gravity Storm, Volcano, The Beast, Rocky Mountain Thunder, Thunder Struck, Earth Flight, California Smokey, Terminal Velocity, Silver Fox and a new jet car from Oregon.
"We are expecting great runs from all of the jet cars. This cooler air at the end of the year makes the jet cars run great," said Janishewski.
"The weather is going to be perfect for record-breaking passes. We are expecting an awesome show that will be fun for the fans and the drivers," said Ron Craft, Drag Racing Manager for Rocky Mountain Raceways.
