Join us at Pacific Raceways for the region’s biggest vintage road race. This long weekend is the feature event of our schedule and a top draw for vintage racers all over the country.

In 2026 we will be featuring the Hoosier Tire 2.5 Challenge, the West Coast’s premier vintage racing series for historic B-Sedan cars, celebrating the golden era of Trans Am-inspired competition. The legendary Peter Brock will be our special guest.

An all-make car corral and parade laps (learn more below), a great vendor’s row, and other attractions help make this event special for drivers and spectators alike. Lots of seat time for drivers and special on-track activities during lunch guarantee fun for all. Pacific Raceways offers unprecedented viewing opportunities inside and outside the track in a beautiful, forested setting. The paddock is wide open, and the entire family can get up close and personal with cars and drivers.

Spectators are welcome! Tickets are available at the gate and in advance online. SOVREN members who are attending as spectators must come through Registration, or pay admission at the gate. Spectator ticket prices for the weekend are $35 for adults (18-64), $20 for seniors (65+), $20 for juniors (13-17), and free for military and first responders with appropriate ID.

Car corral tickets must be purchased online. Spaces are limited.

Car Corral

A car corral consists of a designated show/parking area at race events, specifically for car clubs to park similar vehicles together. 

Participating in a car corral:

  • permits prime trackside parking, with splendid views of the racing
  • provides for the display of specific cars for people to admire
  • allows for sharing a weekend with fellow brand enthusiasts with an opportunity to socialize
  • is limited to those cars who purchase a special car corral parking pass. The car corral ticket includes spectator admission for the driver, and a separate spectator ticket is required for each passenger.
  • offers the opportunity to participate in parade laps
  • each car corral driver receives a special goodie bag (complimentary program, dash plaque, and more).  One goodie bag per car entry.

The specific definition of a car corral can vary, but this is what SOVREN means by car corral.

Parade Laps

Car corral parade laps are exclusive, low-speed – under 60 mph – driving experiences allowing car corral participants to drive their personal cars onto the race track. These laps are considered a highlight of race weekends. 

Parade laps:

  • are led by a pace car and offer a safe, controlled way to drive the track firsthand
  • provide a non-competitive drive that allow participants to experience the track’s layout without the risks of high-speed racing
  • are NOT hot laps; they are conducted at controlled speeds – under 60 mph – behind a pace car, with NO passing allowed
  • allow for passengers
  • do NOT require helmets
  • require that all participating drivers MUST attend a mandatory safety briefing

Again, the specifics of parade laps can vary, but this is what SOVREN means by parade laps.
