If anyone has a need for speed and loves the smell of burning rubber, they might consider driving to Lake Erie speedway to catch a drift racing event this weekend.

The Spring Mats-Erie started on Friday and lasts through Sunday.


Drivers who race in this weekend's event have the chance to qualify for future racing events and even go on to formula drift, a national drift race series.


Racers showed up from Texas to Canada for the event and they're encouraging people to come out and join the action!

The event starts each day at 11am. There is an entrance fee of $15 for anyone 12 years and older.
