Powerama Motoring Expo

The Powerama Motoring Expo was named after a historic drag race in Edmonton. From 1956 until 1966, Powerama was the name of an annual drag race that took place during Labour Day long weekend in Edmonton. Eighteen years later in 1984, the Edmonton car show took its name from the city's historic drag race. On several occasions, vehicles from the Reynolds-Alberta Museum were brought to Powerama for display. ==Notable vehicles==

In 2007, a canola biodiesel jet car built by Kevin Therres received attention in the press. ==Notes==
