Dirt Oval Racing at its Finest

Avalon Raceway's approximately 390 metre banked clay oval is the setting for some of the most spectacular motorsport in Australia. Every race night from October through April, world-class competitors chase glory under the lights on Victoria's premier speedway surface.

From the power and aggression of 900hp Sprintcars to the grassroots excitement of Street Stocks and Production Sedans, there's a class for every level of the sport — and every fan gets a show worth remembering.

What's Racing

Racing Classes

Sprintcars

The premier class at Avalon Raceway. 410 cubic inch open-wheel rockets producing over 900hp, racing on the clay oval at breathtaking speeds. Wing-mounted, purpose-built machines that test the limits of driver skill.

Wingless Sprints

All the aggression of a Sprintcar without the wing. Lower downforce means more sliding, more skill, and incredibly close racing from start to finish. A fiercely competitive class with a massive grassroots following.

Super Rods

Supercharged, highly modified machines built for maximum power and spectacular sideways action on the clay. Super Rods are a crowd favourite for their visual aggression and close racing.

Street Stocks

Entry-level oval racing on a budget. Street-registered cars transformed into competitive race machines — the accessible heartbeat of grassroots speedway at Avalon.

Modified Sedans

Heavily modified production sedans with significantly altered bodywork and drivetrain. Modified Sedans bridge the gap between street stocks and the premier classes.

Super Sedans

High-powered, purpose-modified sedans producing massive grunt. Spectacular door-to-door action and aggressive driving styles make Super Sedans one of the most entertaining classes on the program.

V8 Dirt Modifieds

Big-block V8 power in open-wheel dirt modified bodies. These purpose-built machines are raw, loud, and fast — a throwback to classic American dirt track racing.

AMCAs

Australian Midget Car Association competitors bring fast, wheel-to-wheel action to the Avalon oval. AMCAs are an entry point to open-wheel oval racing for many up-and-coming drivers.

Speedcars

Similar in concept to Sprintcars but run on a sealed engine formula. Speedcars produce extremely competitive racing and are a pathway class for aspiring Sprintcar pilots.

Formula 500s

Lightweight open-wheel single-seaters powered by motorcycle engines. Incredibly quick through the corners and a proven pathway for tomorrow's Sprintcar stars.

Company Speedcars

A corporately-sponsored speedcar formula bringing additional variety to the program. Great racing at competitive entry costs makes Company Speedcars a welcome addition to any event.

Junior Sedans

Junior Sedans give young drivers aged 8–16 their first taste of competitive oval racing in a safe, closely governed format. The pathway class that's produced some of Australia's finest drivers.

GP Midgets

Classic open-wheel midget cars harking back to the golden era of Australian speedway. GP Midgets deliver close, technical racing that highlights driver skill above raw horsepower.

Crash 'n' Bash

The crowd's favourite spectacle event. Competitors go door to door, bumper to bumper in a last-car-running contest that guarantees maximum entertainment and carnage every time.
