Onaway Speedway will be holding the 6th edition of the Great Lakes Big Rig Challenge. 

Coming back to the United States in 2025 is Quebec style Uphill side by side Semi Truck drag racing. We will also be having a wash and park for display trucks. The event will begin Friday, May 23rd weekend.

 
Tickets may be purchased online or on site, but it’s much cheaper to purchase tickets prior online. There is a savings of $8/Adult weekend pass. Plus it helps our staff when trying to get everyone into the facility and parked.

Camping is available on-site. No fires or fire pits allowed per our insurance company. This is a leased piece of property. It is field camping with no power, sewer or water hook ups. We accommodate all camper sizes and park you as you arrive to the track. Each site will accommodate one camper and one tow vehicle.
Camping link is the same as the ticket link above.
 
**Attendees may start arriving Friday May 23rd at 8am. We will not be allowing fans to arrive before that. As we need to set up vendors, sponsors and get the drivers parked.
