Speedway Children’s Charities Quarters For Kids
Race fans are invited to walk along the world-famous Infineon Raceway quartermile
drag strip just minutes after the final pair of Top Fuel dragsters crosses
the finish line following Sunday eliminations at the FRAM Autolite NHRA
Nationals. You’ll be able to feel the sticky rubber beneath your shoes and get
a driver’s perspective of the quarter-mile track - you’ll even have a chance to
help local youth organizations. Fans are encouraged to bring quarters to the
Quarters for Kids Walk and leave them on the wall that stretches the length
of the quarter-mile.
Thunder Alley
Thunder Alley is the closest you can get to the ground-pounding action on-track.
Located just below the Main Grandstand and parallel to the drag strip, Thunder
Alley is sure to be the place real NHRA fans want to be. This area provides a
standing-room only race-watching experience with nothing between you and the
sheer power of the quickest-accelerating machines on the planet.
Tickets for Thunder Alley are just $10 for a daily pass or $30 for a weekend pass,
with a paid admission ticket and available for purchase next to the Wine Country
Winner’s Circle and the entrance to Thunder Alley.
