We have a great pair of events coming up no matter what type of driving you enjoy!

Heads Up No Prep (Aug 26)

The last round of Drifting the Plains is coming soon! Driver registration is live and as expected it’s nearly sold out. Saturday concludes the 2023 Fargo Drifting Open Series and Sunday hosts the Limited Series. Check out the event page for details.

2023 Drag Racing

In early February, we started searching for a group to handle managing and running the drag racing side of the facility. While we were unable to find a group ready to take over in time for this season, we are continuing our conversations with individuals and organizations that have expressed interest in taking over drag strip operations. Like us, they are trying to find and organize the resources it takes to run a race weekend. It takes a healthy amount of staffing, time, and organization behind the scenes to put on drag racing events. The company that owns Interstate Raceway has other businesses to maintain, and there’s only so much energy to go around without being spread too thin or reaching burnout. And this isn’t the fun, tire roasting kind of burnout.

What’s Next?

Fear not: The drag strip is not shutting down permanently. We’re looking into more management options for next year. While we’re unable to host a full season this year, a group of local racers is managing a no-prep race on August 26th featuring heads-up classes as well as 7.50 & 6.50 index classes. Check it out at Going UnGlued on Facebook.

To our supporters, we appreciate you immensely. It’s wonderful to hear everyone’s pre-season excitement and shared memories at the drag strip. We’re excited to see what the new organizers have in store for future seasons and to welcome everyone back on a strong note.

Thank you for understanding.

Big Money Bracket (Sept 10-11 – CANCELLED)

This event has been cancelled due to scoreboard electrical issues. While troubleshooting the right scoreboard electrical system, we lost the left scoreboard as well. Without a way to display and accept dial-ins when staging, we cannot run drag races. We want to put on the best show possible so we’ll be working on repairs for next year. Thank you to all our racers and fans for coming out during the 2022 season.

Driftoberfest (Sept 30 – Oct 2)

Half of the driver passes are already sold out because everyone loves Driftoberfest. The featured hot-lap event is back again to close out the year. We’ll have warm coffee and food available so you can keep going all weekend. Newbies and non-competitive drivers are welcome as always! Full details are on the events page.
