Tire Shredding Day!!

What began as a very dismal day, turned into bright sunshine and nothing but clear skies! This allowed the fine folks at Prairie Soul Productions to ensure that the 2nd Annual Queen City Cruise In Show and Shine went off as well as could be expected.

In the midst of all the fun, we decided that it was time to do a bit of a demonstration for the great people that remained around for most of the day. This is what happens when you have 600HP built by the professionals at Adrenalin Auto And Performance having a little bit of weekend fun!!! How did he shred his tires?? Stay tuned for the video!!

Don't forget the excitement continues Sunday at Three Flags Raceway!!! If you want to be a part of this exciting event, featuring the Street Car Challenge, be sure to head out towards Lumsden and it is on Exit 'C' (watch for signs). Admission is 100% FREE to the public to watch, unless you want into the Pit Area to get up close to the cars, which is $3.15 ($3.00 + GST). If you want to race, and haven't already taken part in our event, the cost is $40.00 for non-QCMA members and $30.00 for QCMA members.

Have a great night everyone!

Rain, rain GO AWAY!

Update: The latest weather Radar shows clear skies by 11AM, so great news Regina! The Show and Shine in Wascana Park is still a Go! Just opening to the public about an hour later than expected.

Update: The 'Cruise' portion of today's events have been cancelled, but the Show and Shine in Wascana Park is still a Go at this point. Will update by 9AM.
Good morning Regina! 

An early weather outlook here, and according to the Radar, it's beautiful sunshine out there right now. But, obviously, our own personal radar tells us a different story. Thunderstorms have snuck in this morning, and given us a nice little surprise.

With that said, today WILL GO ON, rain or shine!! Your show worthy car may not be as shiny as you want, but that won't stop us from having a great time today. Monster Truck Rides, Kids Castles from Mega Bouncers, Jet Funny Car display (and demonstration this evening), and more!  

All today from 10AM to 4PM in the Walter Scott parking lot in beautiful Wascana Park.

We still have three and a half hours until our event opens to the public. Pray with us that the weather Gods cooperate and move the thunderstorms out of here, and bring us the sunshine we've been promised all week!

It Begins Today!

Good Morning Regina!!

It's hard to believe the day is finally here!! Today is the kickoff to the 2nd Annual Queen City Cruise In!!  

Join us beginning at 5pm in the beautiful City Square Plaza for our "Unofficial" Rider Home Opener Tailgate Party. In the hours leading up to the Saskatchewan Roughriders home opening game against the Calgary Stampeders, you can join us for pre-game festivities at no charge to you!

We will have a Live DJ on site, spinning some of the greatest tunes for your enjoyment, courtesy of Momentum Productions. We will have a couple of Regina's best Food Trucks for you to fill your stomach up on some of the best pre-game food available (and why not go and enjoy a cold bevvie or two at O'Hanlons or Beer Bros while you are downtown!), and we will have some of Saskatchewan's coolest vehicles on site. 

We are very proud to have the Bio-Diesel JET FUNNY CAR of Prairieland Motorsports joining us on the Plaza this evening as well. - And don't forget, the MONSTER TRUCK RIDES are still happening today at North Superstore for ONLY FIVE BUCKS!! 

Won't you join us this evening for a pre-game of epic proportions? And, best of all, it's all FREE to the public!

See you tonight!

Monster Truck Rides begin Saturday!

With the kids just finishing school, what a better way to celebrate the beginning of summer vacation than with MONSTER TRUCK RIDES!!! 

They begin this Saturday at the North Superstore and will run through to Friday, July 5. RAIN OR SHINE!

The rides are only five bucks a piece, and it's an experience you and your family will not soon forget. Come and join in the fun, get your picture taken with the Jurassic Attack Monster Ride Truck, and while you're in getting groceries, you can promise the kids if they are good while getting groceries, that you'll take them on the Monster Truck after! 

Who said bribery never works?

Benefits of Pre-Registration

Good Sunday afternoon everyone! 

Well, we are less than two weeks away from our main event, and as such, the questions are coming in to us regarding pre-registration, and we want to thank you all for the great questions and feedback! Please do keep them coming by emailing us at queencitycruisein@gmail.com.

One common question that has been asked is: What exactly do I get for the $20/Day or $50/Weekend pre-registration fee ($25/Day & $60/Weekend on site)? 

Well, it gets you the following great benefits!
- Guaranteed spot at the Friday Night Tailgate Party or the Saturday Automobile Expo Show & Shine
- A FREE car wash at Regina Car Wash ($5-10 value depending on your time in the bay)
- Eligibility for some amazing door prizes (Including a $250 Gift Certificate for the Stripe Shop, along with others from Adrenalin Auto and Performance, Boston Pizza, Burger Baron, and others)
- A FREE ticket to Kings Park Speedway ($10-15 value depending on the event)
- Eligibility to win exclusive Car Show Awards
- Admission into the Night of Fire where we will have the Jet Car Demonstration
- Eligibility to enter the Burnout Contest
- Entry into Three Flags Raceway on Sunday ($40 value - we are subsidizing $20 of your regular entry fee for non-members)
- We are continually looking to add more benefits for you!

As you see above, there is far more bang for the buck than last year, and definitely more than any other event in Regina like this. Please also keep in mind that this is a non-profit event, and a portion of the net proceeds from the weekend will be donated to the Regina Chili for Children program, with the remainder being reinvested into the 2014 event to make it even bigger, and hopefully expanded into two weekends. Also keep in mind that this event is 100% FREE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC to attend, so if you have some great sponsors on your race car, or other such sponsors, this would be a great opportunity to get them the extra exposure that you know they all deserve!

If you have any further questions or comments, please don't hesitate to send them our way!

Have a great week everyone!

Pre-Registration NOW OPEN!!

UPDATE: JUNE 27, 2013

Unfortunately, the drag racing won't be able to happen at this event. The timing just didn't work out for the RM to properly review and approve our new location. The intention was to review it at the special meeting held June 24, 2013, but the Official Community Plan and Wascana Village took precdence. With that said, we will continue to pursue this as a separate event possibly later this summer.

Hello everyone!! 

We are so proud to reveal the latest information on the 2nd Annual Queen City Cruise In, and to announce that Pre-Registration is NOW OPEN!! Please go to our "Registration" page for more details on how you can Pre-Register, and keep in mind that space is limited, so Pre-Registration is strongly encouraged. See the Postcard photos below for information on the weekend events, happening July 5, 6 and 7, 2013 right here in beautiful Regina, Saskatchewan! (We have many of these Postcards printed, so if you'd like some to distribute, please let me know)


Something that I don't have on these postcards is the fact that we are working with the RM of Sherwood to have our first ever DRAG RACES!!! We have the tentative approval of their Council, given that we find the appropriate location that Council agrees with. I had proposed using the newly paved stretch of Inland Drive just off of Fleet Street, but the concern was the high volume of (truck) traffic, and the fact that it could entice more "regular" drag racing to occur out there.

With that said, we have scouted out a better location, and one that we feel would be well within their reasoning. We will be discussing this with them on Monday, and if Council likes it, we should be given the go ahead! What I would ask from you is just to show your interest. This is step one on the road to getting a Drag Strip built here in the Regina area. What the City of Regina, and other levels of authority, want to see is the interest in Regina for such a facility. I know the interest exists here, so please don't disappoint!

If anyone has any other locations in the RM of Sherwood in mind, that you think might be a better location, please do not hesitate to email us at queencitycruisein@gmail.com. For those that have concerns, full liability insurance will be in place, the proper safety measures will be in place, and (hopefully) we'll have temporary grandstands set up. Lacking that, we definitely will have some form of spectator area setup. And it will be straight heads up racing, old school. No Christmas Tree, MAYBE traction compound (if we can source it?), and preferably some decent NHRA "pro" race cars to demonstrate what we have here in Regina and area.

We are now welcoming pre-registrations for the entire event, Participants are $20/Day or $50/Weekend, and this gets you some sweet perks, including the Drag Races (pending Council approval), Slalom Racing out at 3 Flags Raceway on Sunday (Hosted by the QCMA), Admission to Kings Park Speedway for either that weekend's event, or any other event during the year, entry for valuable door prizes (we're not talking chump change either), Car Show Awards, Entertainment, and more! The event is, once again, 100% FREE to the public to attend, and we strongly encourage donations for our Charity of choice, the Chili for Children program.

Cheers everyone! Feel free to ask me anything.

ATTENTION SPONSORS and Interested Parties

Happy Weekend to everyone!!!

It has come to my attention that there are people in this great City that seem to think it's funny, or retribution, or whatever you want to call it, to approach those great sponsors listed below and tell them to be careful about associating with our event. I find this kind of behaviour deceitful, and downright disgusting, but given the fact that there are people in our great City with nothing better to do but to slander other's good names, who simply try to ruin unique, innovative events, I guess we have to accept this as a fact of life.

We would respectfully ask that anyone that receives an email or a phone call like the following, to please forward it to us and the parties will be dealt with appropriately. This could range anywhere from a simple warning, to if the behaviour continues, legal action. We obviously would rather avoid the latter, but this is a very serious matter, and one that should not be taken lightly.

With that said, have a great weekend everyone!!! We are just over a month away until the big event!!
