Heads Up Havoc at SIR

That's a wrap on the second annual Heads Up Havoc!

What a fantastic weekend of racing!

To everyone who came out to race, crew, or support the event, thank you for spending your weekend with us. Your enthusiasm, sportsmanship, and passion for drag racing are what make Heads Up Havoc such a great event, and we truly appreciate every one of you.

Events like this don't happen without a dedicated group of volunteers willing to give up their weekend to help. We'd like to recognize a few of the people who helped make Heads Up Havoc a success:

"The Mouth from the South" Ed Desjarlais kept everyone entertained on the microphone all weekend long.

Kaley Derenoski and Amy Schwab kept the merch table running throughout the weekend and managed the card draws on Saturday.

Jessica Tarling and Brittney Rousseau staffed the merch table, while Taylor Jacek looked after the check-in point during the street cruise.

A huge thank you as well to Shawn "Skippy" Zezula and the entire staff at Saskatchewan International Raceway for once again providing an incredible facility and working so hard behind the scenes throughout the weekend.

We'd also like to thank Thomas Bemis of Sick Prep for travelling to SIR and keeping the racing surface in top shape all weekend.

Thank you to James Gordon for providing the livestream throughout the weekend while also making the first passes in his new funny car!

We'd also like to extend our sincere thanks to our incredible sponsors. Your support helps make Heads Up Havoc possible, and we truly appreciate your commitment to grassroots drag racing.
