the
details
Sydney Dragway is a world-class venue. For events held in the track area of the venue, up to 50,000 Guests and Spectators are accommodated on nine metre high mounds on both sides of the track, in a stadium format. Whilst this format works well for drag racing, it is an efficient stadium environment for any number of shows, sports and events.
Drag Racing safety regulations define distances between the racing surface and the height and position of safety barriers, so there is a gap of 50 ft. [15 metres] between the racing surface and spectators at the start line, with the spectator areas angling back at 3 degrees to half-track distance, and then running parallel to the finish line. This has created a sporting and entertainment stadium with unparalleled viewing opportunities.
This multi format layout is an efficient environment for any number of shows, sports and events.
For events looking for an open space platform, Sydney Dragway’s pit area is perhaps the most versatile space that the venue offers, capable of catering for up to 500 exhibitors. The huge pit area is expansive and is also enhanced with a grid of asphalt roads and turfed areas for trade displays or even a place to stop and relax. The heart of Sydney Dragway is the three storey control tower. Located behind the start line it oversees the racetrack. The tower houses the meeting director, timing staff, announcers, media, and six corporate hospitality suites. As well as daily staff offices, including sales, management, financial, and secretarial activities, meaning its applications are many and varied.
