Bob Motz blasting off the starting lineWhat our fans think of the Night Under Fire 
“This was my 5th Night Under Fire and it was awesome.  How you put on a fantastic show year after year is short of amazing.  My wife and I make it over 2 to 3 times a year.  You all run a great facility.  We love coming to the track and look forward to it every year.  It is truly a fan friendly track.” - Todd Brest


"The fireworks display was beyond compare, it seems to get better each year. There were a lot of young children sitting around me and I had just as much fun watching the smiles on their faces as I did the racing." - Tim Stanislo

"I cannot express how great of an experience we had being there. It was amazing!!! I say that on behalf of us all and we cannot wait to come back again." - Patrice Riedel

"My family had such a great time, they're talking about next year already!  What a great time they had while making memories for a life time." - Lori Carver

"This was my first year going to the Night Under Fire race. My husband and daughter, and a few other family members have been going to your race track for the Cavalcade of Stars, NHRA Nationals, and the Night Under Fire for about 5 years now. I was amazed by the firework show, I have never seen a better display of fireworks.  I am hooked! I can't wait to go back next year w/ my family, & the friends who also went this year for their first time.. Great job, great track, great racing, great fireworks!!!!" - Melissa Saxton

  • Eyes watering from the nitro methane in the air
  • Ears ringing from the roar of the engines

Then we need to call 911 immediately…you’ve stopped breathing!
