Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why is Big SOCAL EURO leaving San Diego?
Unfortunately, San Diego Stadium (Qualcomm/SDCCU) has been demolished/torn down. We knew it was coming for last several years and looked at many options. In the end, Irwindale Speedway had the capacity, drag strip & location that allowed the event to thrive.
Is parking free?
Parking is free for General Admissions, but there is a per person fee for anyone 13 years & older.
What items are prohibited?
No BBQ grills allowed. Sorry, it is against Speedway liability concerns.
Outside alcohol
Glass/Glass Containers
Knives/Weapons
Fireworks/Explosives
Drugs or any kind of illegal substance
Pets (except for service animals)
Bicycles must be left outside front entrance
Drones or any other unmanned aircraft & kites
Marker pens and spray paint
Megaphones, PA Systems, Air Horns
*Security has final say on allowed and prohibited items.
Why is there a General Admission Fee?
Irwindale Speedway has a lot of amenities that we previously never had. This includes properly maintained drag strip, drift out arena, on-site bathroom, K-rails, fencing & barricades and a lot more security & staffing. This adds additional cost for the event. We understand we maintained a 'FREE' general admissions for 18 years, but reality is with an event this large there are many costs to run it safely and properly. We intend to maintain a fair cost for participating in our events.
Is Big SOCAL EURO all ages?
Yes it is! We are family friendly. All children under 12 years & under can enter show with accompanying adult.
Are pets allowed?
Sorry, no pets allowed. Only service animals are allowed within guidelines.
Is food & drinks available?
Yes, food concessions & food vendors will be on-site.
Is Big SOCAL EURO rain or shine?
Yes, rain or shine!
Are tent canopies allowed?
Yes. Inside Showdown there will be restricted areas that allow canopies toward North side of the lot. Weight is required for all canopies. We want to make sure everyone has somewhere to stay shaded.
What are Drag Racing & Speedway rules?

COVID Safety:
We have continued to monitor rising Covid 19 cases amongst both vaccinated and unvaccinated groups in recent weeks to determine safety protocols for patrons and vendors at this year’s event. As this event is open to all age groups and vaccines are not yet available for children and at risk demographics, we will be recommending that general admission wear masks. In addition we are asking our vendors to wear a mask within their booths and or when in heavily congested areas. This is not a mandate for our vendors but we are trying to do our part to maintain safe gatherings and help keep California open for business. We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing everyone on October 3rd.
