MEDICINE HAT, AB — Rolling down the highway on two wheels requires a steady hand.

These riders take it to another level.

The fastest engines on two wheels are ripping up the Medicine Hat Drag Strip this weekend, as the Canadian Motorcycle Drag Racing Association rolls into town.

This weekend is the only chance this year to see these racers in the Gas City. Last year, the CMDRA competed in Spring Nationals in early June, and the Badlands Nationals in August.

Upwards of 10 race classes will make up the two day race series.

Gates to the track open at 8 a.m. Saturday, with the first time trials starting at noon.

The finals get underway Sunday at 1 p.m.
