Race 8: Sunday, December 13, 2015 at Sacramento Raceway

Tie-breaker policy is on our FAQ page

The 2015 finale will be Sacramento Cyclocross' first ever night race! The hometown drag strip at Sacramento Raceway will serve up a fantastic course. You'll start on the strip with the "Christmas Tree" lights and head into the surrounding grass fields, moto cross track and mud-run areas complete with sand and a serious run-up.

Directions to the Race

  • Sacramento Raceway

Getting There
Sacramento Raceway is located just south of Mather Airport. Click on the map to the left for directions. We recommend taking the Bradshaw Road exit, even if you're coming from the east. Using the Mather Field exit forces you through a residential neighborhood with slow speed limits and speed bumps.

Parking
PLEASE NOTE: Parking is $5 per car. There is PLENTY of parking near the race venue.

What can families do?
Sacramento Raceway is home to a 1/4 dragstrip and a motocross track... but that's about all that's out there! Other than watching the race and cheering on family members, there aren't a ton of other things to do.

What is there to eat?
Fuzion Eatz food truck will be at this race, and we will have the Yolo Brew beer garden.


Beer Garden in 2015!

Many thanks to our non-profit partner, Bikes for Kids, for helping run the beer garden!

Course description:
Sacramento Raceway is a place where throttles run wide open, and our CX course will give racers plenty of opportunity for all out speed. We'll start at the christmas tree and run the full drag strip for the first lap, with each resulting lap heading over the wall (via ramp) to the first of two big run ups. Plenty of turns on a gradual hillside will add some cornering flow with some muddy spots to navigate as well.
