Back in 2014, John Scotti Auto and NHRA forged a partnership that has only grown stronger with time.

For speed demons and gearheads out there, the John Scotti name resonates within the quarter-mile community. Not only is he known for being the Montreal-based auto dealership magnate, for being the founder of the Canadian Drag Racing Hall of Fame, but alfo for organizing high-stakes Stock/Super Stock Shootout events throughout the years.

This year, the 2024 Canadian National Open Series promises to be a heart-pounding spectacle. John Scotti is not just sponsoring a single segment; they’re backing the entire series. Get ready for adrenaline-packed action as the series features Canadian National Championships in six NHRA categories:

The champions of these categories won’t just be showered with applause; they will be honoured at the 2024 NHRA Canadian National Open Series Awards Banquet which will be held in conjunction with the prestigious Canadian Drag Racing Hall of Fame Gala in November (date to be announced later this year).
