Auto Club Raceway

I love the Auto Club Raceway. I always come here for the NHRA events. I just recently went for the 2016 Winternationals. The parking is plentiful and there is also the Pomona Swap meet that takes place here. Always a ton of car parts to look through. In the venue there is always plenty of food stands and beer stands. Come and make some memories here!

Attended the NHRA Winternationals on 2÷8÷15. We had passes for a third floor Tower Suite and had a great time. Suites were super comfortable and we had a center view at the starting line. Amazing. And the free drinks (beer incl) and snacks = double thumbs up!
Minus 1 star for the traffic congestion in/​out of the parking lot, the loooong trek from the lot to your seat, and the lack of proper signage to guide guests through the expo area.

I’ve been back to Pomona twice since my last visit. Each time I leave more impressed than the last. What a great expeerience. Make it part of your bucket list for sure!

Auto Club dose not discount members that have had Auto Club 30+ years at the ticket stands, it’s pretty idiotic that you have to preorder tickets online just so you can get a cheaper deal.

I really love coming to the drags twice a year for the Finals and the Winternationals. The best advice that I could possibly give you is to arrive fairly early. I never arrive any later than 8;30. If you arrive after 9:30, you will be in a long line of traffic that seems to move at –2mph! Also, fork over the extra cash for pitside parking because you’ll have less of a hassle when you attempt to leave the racetrack.
Anyway, this place is fairly large and really doesn’t offer a healthy selection of food. I like to bring my own food and pick up some desserts throughout the day. You will be here a LONG time! You can find beer at every corner and plenty of hot dogs, burgers, pulled pork, and all kinds of greasy/​fried grub!
If you fail to purchase your earplugs, people will stare at you then wait for your reaction to your foolish mistake. IT IS LOUD! It is quite normal for your eyes to become irritated and for you to do a bit of coughing but suck it up, you’re at the drags not Knotts Berry Farm!
A day at the drags is somewhat indescribable because you don’t really appreciate it for what it’s worth when you sit in front of your television screen. I do not recommend bringing small children here unless you have a good set of headphones to protect their precious ears.
Make sure that you saunter around prior to the race beginning because you can meet your favorite drivers as they make preparations for the day’s races. They’re all very personable and they love their fans.

I am giving this speedway a rating of 5 stars only due to the fact that my adrenaline was pumping all afternoon from the engines revving. I love cars, I always have, for as long as I can remember I have been infatuated by the classic styling of the autos from the late 50’s into the early 70’s. The race contained none of these types of muscle cars, however the cars present maintained a muscle all their own.

The race was long and loud but all and all a good time was had by all. There were many vendors selling any and all imaginable items relating to NASCAR. I ended up purchasing a hat, in hopes of not getting a wicked sun burn, and a beer cozy. I had to, it felt like something I needed to have in hand for this type of event. The race was fun, although I’m not sure if i’ll be eager to go back for another 4 hour long race in which everyone goes left. I am a street track kind of girl, think formula one, the more chicanes the better. Ovals are kind of boring.
I really liked the day spent at the races, no complaints on the event site, or anyone I came in contact with. All and all a good day, a little loud but I am very thankful I had headphones.

Winternationals baby! Come check out some old cars then go watch the alcohol, nitro, funny cars race down the track! Feel the power!
