Fire Up For Prostate Cancer Awareness Part Two!

Dark Side Racing was on location at Calgary Harley-Davidson on Saturday September 26 for for the final event in our Fire Up For Prostate Cancer Awareness campaign. And what a day it was!
Calgary Stampeders starting running back – Jon Cornish – joined us as our Guest of Honor and helped to elevate our campaign to new heights! Jon didn’t just climb into the cockpit of the dragster – he wanted the full experience and he had Nik strap him into the 5-point harness seat belt.
The fans loved it and we’re pretty sure Jon enjoyed it too! We had him grinning like a Cheshire Cat!
Thank you Jon and Go STAMPS!
