Raceway 7

05/29/2026

We thought we were going to have a track to practice on, but it's still too rough to safely runs on. We are canceled for today. Sorry for the false hopes. We rather stay safe than have a bunch of torn up cars. Hope to be back at racing next week.

We know everyone has been looking forward to getting back to racing, and we are finally welcoming some sunshine as the forecast continues to improve. Unfortunately, after being under water since April, a lot of drying is still required.

The combination of rain and ongoing track work has left the surface extremely soft and unsafe for racing at this time, so Friday’s racing program has been canceled.

We are hopeful to hold an open practice Friday in place of racing if track conditions allow. We will provide an update Friday afternoon.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Friday May 22nd is canceled. Although the track is getting better, we are still suffering from soft wet conditions. The new construction and 5 inches of rain we got in April has really made things tough.

Unfortunately to avoid torn up cars, we can only wait this out. Crews have been working hard and hope to be back racing soon!

05/14/2026

Once again we are forced to cancel. Track and parking conditions are too soft to safely hold any events. Hoping for some better weather.

05/12/2026

Friday's racing has been changed to practice 7:30-9:30. We are still dealing with saturated grounds and attempting to get the track into shape. The parking is a swamp. Anyone coming to watch general admission must use caution parking or you will get stuck.
Pit admission $25, general admission free.

This Friday 5/8 has been canceled. Continued wet conditions forces us again!

04/29/2026

Friday May 1st has been canceled due to continued wet conditions.

04/22/2026

Practice 4/24 is canceled. With all the construction on the track reshape and wet spring, the track is still in no condition to safely runs cars without tearing up equipment. We are welcoming some sunshine and warmer weather as we work to get the track ready for the 2026 season. May 1st racing is now scheduled to be a practice. The opening night of racing is being postponed to may 8th.
