A truly amazing night. We were visiting from the UK and couldn't have been made to feel more welcome. Tha drag racing was amazing. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We got a chance to chat to Bob in the tower. The drag racing went on until 10pm. Great value. An all round amazing night. Thanks

Irwindale speedway is the cleanest, most comfortable, top of the line racing venue I have ever been to - and I have been a race fan for over 50 years - from Florida to California!

The stands are very comfortable with backs and hold about 5000 (+/-?). Food (all varieties) is excellent. Bathrooms are abundant and spotless.

Racing action is exciting and FUN on both the 1/2 mile and the 1/3 mile paved tracks. They also have Night of Destruction racing which includes Figure 8, Demolition Derby, Skid Plate Racing, Trailer Racing (ya gotta see that!!) and many other types of craziness.

Lots of lighted parking. Best $15.00 money can buy for 6 hours on a Saturday night... and kids get in FREE.

We attended the Night Of Destruction on Dec 2 2017 with friends and family and it was a blast!

Bought tickets before event date for just $10 each for adult. Arrive before 6 pm for 7 pm race since all good seats get taken fast, with some blocking large spaces on the benches with blankets and tape! Bring a mat to sit on. Get your hot dogs and Polish dogs and just enjoy the show.

Great family time! Would definitely go more often when I have free time. Go early to get seats since the crowd does seem to fill the bleachers. Make sure if it’s cold to take a blanket to sit on the bleachers are aluminum and the track gets pretty chilly on fall nights.

We had a blast ! It was great fun and really exciting at times. At the end of the races they had what they call a trailer race, which is cars pulling trailers with boats, ski-dos, and other various things, and then we found out it was a demolition type trailer pull What a hoot !!!

Formula D and L.A. Racing just to name a few occasions that have brought me here. Fun track, and great viewing. It looks like it doesn't really matter where you sit, you'll have a great view. We also had room and help from staff when pulling in the trailer. Staff was very nice.

I have been going to the races here for about eight years. It's a great family activity. I prefer to have dinner on the way as I think the food there is not great. (But I don't like food at fairs or from food trucks. If you do you will be happy.)

Sadly they are moving more toward Nights of Destruction, which is about as boring as action movies; no plot, no story, no racing. But I do like the real races and go those nights. Never fear, regardless of the evening's event it always ends with a destruction race: figure 9's, chain racing, skid plate racing, trailer racing, etc.

Make sure your kids are there if Bandolero racing is scheduled. Image 10-15 8-17 year-olds driving 40 hp cars around the 1/3 mile track. Last weekend girls finished first and second. (I love when they thank their "sponsors". "I want to thank my grandfather and grandmother, and my aunt and uncle.")

Get there early. I think they still allow fans on the track to view the race cars, talk to the drivers, sign posters, hand out candy, etc. Kids can meet the kids driving the Bandoleros.

Evening will end about 10:30-11PM.

Buy tickets on-line, save $5 each.

Please patronize this. There is pressure to put an Outlet Mall on the site.

What a fun family outing, this is something totally different than our regular routine. We went with a bunch of friends and kids of all ages, everyone enjoyed it. The ticket price is a real bargain. Bring a blanket to sit on, since the metal bleaches can be cold. We brought some snacks, plus purchased hot dogs and drinks. We will certainly be attending again next time!
