Grays Harbor Raceway
Opening Night this Saturday April 18th at Grays Harbor Raceway.
Get ready—this one’s got that early-season electricity ?
The gates are about to swing open at Grays Harbor Raceway, and the April 18, 2026 opener isn’t just another race night—it’s the reset button for the entire Northwest dirt racing scene.
All winter, cars have been torn down, rebuilt, tweaked, and dialed in. New setups. Fresh paint. Drivers hungry to prove something. And now? It all hits the track at once.
You can expect:
Engines roaring back to life after months of silence
Clay flying under the lights around the fast 3/8's Clay oval.
Veterans defending their turf while new contenders try to steal it
That first green flag moment when everything feels wide open again
There’s nothing quite like opening night—no points gaps, no favorites locked in yet. Just raw speed, bold moves, and everyone thinking this could be their year.
If you’ve been waiting all offseason, this is where it starts.
If you haven’t been… this is the night that hooks you.
April 18. Elma. Under the lights.
360 Sprint Cars, IMCA Modifieds, PHRA Dwarf Cars, and 360 Limited Sprints.
Spectator Gates open at 4:30, Hot Laps at 5, and Racing at 6pm
The 2026 season begins at Grays Harbor Raceway—don’t miss the first thunder.
