It'll be a weekend that gear-heads have been waiting for since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, as two Swift Current traditions hold their first races of the season.

The Swift Current Stock Car Association is revving up for two nights on Friday and Saturday. Tickets for Saturday were sold out by Tuesday, but as of yesterday evening, a few tickets remained for Friday's event.

The Swift Current Drag Racing Association meanwhile is opening the gates on Saturday and Sunday at the Swift Current Airport for their first-weekend event. Racing will get underway at noon on Saturday, and 10:00 a.m. on Sunday.

Look to Swift Current Online on Monday for a full recap and photos of the events.
