What to know about Orange Show Speedway

Orange Show Speedway is a long-running race track on the National Orange Show Fairgrounds, with a range of racing divisions and special events.

The track opened in 1947 in a venue originally built as a football stadium. Its operator describes it as the longest continually running racetrack on the West Coast. Its divisions include Pro Late Models, INEX Bandoleros, INEX Legends, Street Stocks, Pro-4s, Pony Stocks, Sport Compacts, American Race Trucks and Crown Vics, as well as demolition derbies.

That mix means the event calendar is worth checking before you go: the schedule can help you identify which kind of racing or event is on the bill.

The speedway’s official website is the place to check its current event schedule.

Event dates have appeared from March through November in recorded calendars. Treat that as a broad seasonal pattern, not a guarantee of dates: check the current calendar before making plans. The official site has an Event Schedule section, and its listings identify individual events.

Once you have a date in mind, confirm the event details there rather than relying on an old listing. The schedule is the practical starting point for planning the rest of your visit.

Orange Show Speedway tickets, entry, and event-day rules

Ticket prices, purchase options and entry rules can depend on the event, so check the official site before you go.

The speedway has a separate Tickets page, and event listings may provide a ticket link. Check the listing for the event you plan to attend to confirm current prices, whether tickets are available online or at the gate, and any rules about what you can bring.

Past event promotions have included specific prices and entry rules, but those details may not apply to another race.

Before setting out, confirm the event’s gate and racing times, parking arrangements and any restrictions on food or drinks. That way, you can plan your arrival around the particular event rather than assume all race nights follow the same arrangements.
