Great times, good food and plenty of things to do ! Car show with 100+ Cars and Trucks. Friendly Racers like the Will Family Racing Team.

Pomona Raceway (it's called Auto Club Raceway for now) is a cool, historic venue. It's also home to the NHRA Drag Racing Museum, and is right next to Brackett Field Airport and the Sheraton Fairplex. You can access the parking lot from a few different gates, so make sure to check the venue map before visiting. @TOYOTAsocal is always doing cool contests and ticket giveaways on Instagram. This past weekend, I was one of the lucky winners of their Instagram contest for 2 VIP passes to the NHRA Winternationals at Pomona Raceway! It was so crazy to see A90 Supras set up as funny cars for drag, complete with Toyota emblems in the carbon blower and fat drag slicks. Aside from the huge Toyota Gazoo Racing display in the paddock, they created a super dope private VIP area at the end of Pomona's famous dragstrip, using the beds of new Tacomas to host a tailgate party for me and the other lucky contest winners! Thank you so much for an awesome experience Toyota Socal! We truly felt like VIPs, and my ears are still ringing from the nitro funny cars at the start line. Aside from NHRA drag events, I've also been to the adjacent Pomona Fairplex (it's all connected) for other events, like Import Showoff (longggg time ago), Grand National Roadster Show, and Offroad Expo. Great venue!

I really love coming to the drags twice a year for the Finals and the Winternationals. The best advice that I could possibly give you is to arrive fairly early. I never arrive any later than 8;30. If you arrive after 9:30, you will be in a long line of traffic that seems to move at -2mph! Also, fork over the extra cash for pitside parking because you'll have less of a hassle when you attempt to leave the racetrack. Anyway, this place is fairly large and really doesn't offer a healthy selection of food. I like to bring my own food and pick up some desserts throughout the day. You will be here a LONG time! You can find beer at every corner and plenty of hot dogs, burgers, pulled pork, and all kinds of greasy/fried grub! If you fail to purchase your earplugs, people will stare at you then wait for your reaction to your foolish mistake. IT IS LOUD! It is quite normal for your eyes to become irritated and for you to do a bit of coughing but suck it up, you're at the drags not Knotts Berry Farm! A day at the drags is somewhat indescribable because you don't really appreciate it for what it's worth when you sit in front of your television screen. I do not recommend bringing small children here unless you have a good set of headphones to protect their precious ears. Make sure that you saunter around prior to the race beginning because you can meet your favorite drivers as they make preparations for the day's races. They're all very personable and they love their fans.

Had a blast here for Winternationals. Step outside your comfort zone and try something new you won't regret! So much fun just bring ear plugs it get noisy. Parking was $15 for general public. Great views.

I've come for the NHRA finals since 2017. Every year I've enjoyed being there even though it wasn't my thing. There's nothing like feeling the cars go vroom. I even have a few favorites now. The food is your basic LA County fair food. I believe you can use your LA County Fair cup (not this past year due to covid). (I will test the theory next year.) There's plenty to drink like at the fair. The vendors have always been great. I like to walk around & talk to everyone. Most people are polite even though it does seem like a certain crowd likes to go to these professional car events. I've never had an issue with anyone. This year I was a little annoyed because someone drove through the racetrack with a Let's Go Brandon flag. I get the sentiment, but c'mon, let's leave that at home & enjoy the races. If it wasn't for that, this year would've been perfect. I believe they did half capacity, so it wasn't too crowded. The weather is usually great. This year it was hotter than normal. When you come out here, come prepared please. I see so many people with awful sunburns. All around a great family event.

Being coming here for years. I used to love coming here but this time it was much different. DON'T select Tower Side! This drag strip has plenty of room, clean areas and bathrooms and lots of food options but ONLY on the pit side. The Downfalls are, we paid the same price for 4 tickets and sat on the tower side. We weren't acknowledged once the entire weekend from the NHRA, the drivers, the Geico team or Auto Club. Not one shirt, not one prize was provided, there's on 1 food option. Tower side is totally ignored. We couldn't see the top end or the big screen tv because someone install a media stand directly in our view. No one even used it. The two Military Veterans I came with had to pay to enter and paid for their food. I bought their food and I bought some of the Navy boys who stood guard on each section. The images attached show our tower side view the entire weekend.

What a great venue. Easy parking only $10. Winternationals are a big treat. Will be back.

There is NO net to keep the balls from landing in the parking lot. As of May 2024 there are also no visible signs warning you. I have addressed this concern in the past (over a year ago) and recently heard cars being hit as I parked a few weeks ago. They've done nothing about it. ZERO.

I'm honestly still trying to process what we experienced yesterday at Big League Dreams Chino Hills…read moreduring a Perfect Game tournament... When we arrived, there was an adult league event happening in the same space--and the environment was completely out of control. Grown adults visibly drunk... falling on the floor, asking people to take shots, passed out in public areas, vomiting in the bathrooms. And I literally saw the bartender pouring Hennessy shots and continuing to serve them--they were never cut off. Why the f*** is this happening at a Perfect Game tournament?! And then it got worse... We walked into the women's bathroom and there was a grown man in a stall with a woman--her panties down to her ankles. This is a youth event. Kids are walking in and out of these spaces. What if little girls had walked into that bathroom?! There was no separation. No control. No supervision. On top of that, families traveled, kids barely slept, and the next morning the games were canceled because no one was even attending to the fields. I'm low key embarrassed for the teams that came from out of state to experience this. This isn't just unprofessional--it's unsafe and completely unacceptable.

It was my first Quakes game so…read moreI didn't know what to expect as far as parking, waiting in lines and of course concession stand prices. We got there right when the game started so needless to say we didn't get a bobble head. They where only handing them out to the first 1,000 people. Come to find out people where waiting outside the gates since 5 p.m.! I forgot you can tail gate at the ball park. What a rookie I am.... My one complaint is that the concession stand lines take waaaayyyyyy to long. We where in line for 4 innings!!! That's right, it's not a typo. Four innings we waited in line to get the kids and the wifey's food and drinks. I couldn't believe it, It seemed longer than that. Our last disappointment came at the end of the game night when we sat and waited for the fireworks :(. Come to find out Quakes stadium only does fireworks on Saturday nights not Friday. Grrrrr Lesson learned? Umm do a little more research?

We went to the fireworks show July 4th, 2012 & it was wonderful!! We sat in a different location…read morethan last years section. We were in the lowest section on the first base side. The fireworks were awesome & I got excellent pictures. The ceremonies were very good, honoring the birth of our country, the military, and those who have given their lives protecting us. I really hate to rate other stuff but I need to. The first base side seems to get more attention. The announcer for this event is boring! Yet, the events leading up to the celebration over shadows him. All in all, it was really great The fireworks were so awesome. I applaud the company and the people who produce such a fine show!!
