Event Information

Dirt Oval Racing is back at NZ's home of the Dirt Oval Speedway, the Citrus Bowl. New lights, timing, track and hut have allowed us to re-ignite the dirt oval racing. The new Losi 22s Sprint car PLUS Late Model and Traxxas Super Late Models & Modifieds are the key to allow us to get this disipline of racing sorted.

Entry Details

Bring warm clothes, and head torches. It is dark. We will have some pit lighting, but more is good. Power on site.

We will make an assessment and try and seed drivers in similar skill sets for qualifying. Once qualifying has been set, the heat races will resolve.

Dirt oval racing is non-contact and drivers must respect the track and other racers when re-entering or a crash. You must not impede other racers.

Classes Offered

We are going to run the 2026/27 Season rules for classes. Full details of these and any changes you need to make will be up on the RIR Facebook page and will be published with plenty of time to sort prior to the start of the event.

There will be a tech of cars required for this meeting.
