2026 SEASON OPENER

Kick off the 2026 racing season with a full-throttle day at RAD Torque Raceway, opening Saturday, May 9!
Weβre starting the year the best way we know how. Loud, fast, and packed with action from morning through night. Drag racing heats things up early, then Nite Thunder dirt oval racing takes over in the evening. One ticket, two styles of racing, no need to choose sides.
A full day of motorsport action:
Drag Racing: 10 AM β 4 PM
Nite Thunder Dirt Oval Racing: 6 PM β 9 PM
Whether itβs your first visit or your season opener tradition, plan to make a day of it. Wander theΒ Midway, take in the sights and sounds, and settle in for a proper season launch.
