York Raceway is a drag strip based on the old Melbourne Airfield. It has held drag racing events since the 1970s - these days it hosts the Northern Street Car Championship, the Hot Rod Challenge and the 2NZ 0-60 Shoouout, as well as the many Run Wot You Brung events, where spectators can become part of the action in their own cars.
York Raceway is east of York, on the old Melbourne airfield, near Seaton Ross. It's a signposted 12-mile country drive from junction 37 off of the M62.
