A long weekend of Drag Racing on Curacao

Traditionally, we have here in Curacao drag racing competition during the "Dia di La Reina" long weekend holiday. And this year there will be no exception. Mainly due to the efforts of a group race activists and enthusiasts, we will have no less than six days of activities, all taking place at the Curacao International Raceway, but brought to you by two organizers.

The main event is the International Drag Fest races, which will run for three days, starting on April 29 and running through May 1. On Friday, April 27, there will be a car and bike show held at the track.
Race participants will come from Aruba and Venezuela, to battle against the locals at this wonderful race facility. Besides drag racing, other activities will include fever, drift, and Pinks All Out races.
The International Drag Fest, and Car & Bike Show, are organized by Still Balling Productions.
