    What an event day for us at the Sonoma Raceway! Kicking back in the lounge at watching the races was the way to go! Perfect views, comfy seats, and just the right amount of crowd to keep the energy up without feeling packed. The food trucks were on point with so many good options to choose from. And getting up close with the paddock and hot pit tour was the perfect next level experince. Definitely a race day to remember!

    Sonoma raceway is family friendly and an easy day trip. I wouldn't recommend arriving as early as we did because the parking wasn't bad at all with the shuttle transport. We wandered around all day watching race cars getting gas, race cars parked in the garage, a car show in the center of it all, with loads of bleacher seats with back support and shade. The schedule kept it fun for enthusiasts of all ages, from the simulation to the autographs and even an air show. We brought some drinks and snacks but there were food trucks available and some $9 matcha teas lol. The cafe also had overpriced everything and the shop was claustrophobia galore. But otherwise, super fun!

    Parking is horrendous, but that is to be expected at such a venue. Be prepared to wait in a very long queue. Need to get security to help if you leave your seats and other people try to steal them so have your tickets or proof of purchase at hand. Bathrooms are clean, but lines are a normally long wait so plan ahead. Bring both cash and card because each food stand will only take one or the other. $20 got us one plate of fries, but we all shared. In hindsight we should have packed sandwiches. Overall the show was great and a great way to spend the day together.

    Attended Velocity at Sonoma Raceway for the first time. The track and accessibility was fantastic. The had shuttles running back and forth from the parking lot. The staff was super helpful and the races were top notch. Fantastic venue with plenty of food, parking, shade, etc.

    Most folks know the track because of NASCAR but it's so much more. I have been to quite a few race tracks over the years. My son drift races and I follow him around. Lol The park is huge! Different tracks everywhere and all different kinds of events draw all different kinds of crowds. The shuttle bus seems to working for visitors to get around as walking would be nutty if you wanted to see different areas. And new this year no pit bikes. So instead I saw a bunch of people with scooters. I was with the pit crew so I rode around with them. So many people wait around at the skid pad to get a ride along with the drivers. I watched my son turn down so many girls (he is married and ain't messing with that,lol) but he took his Dad and some other guys. It rained most of the day so the tracks were slick. But safety is taken very seriously here and the moment there is a hazard everything stops until it is safe again. All drivers must pass inspection and the car too. Fire suits, neck braces, helmets, roll cages and all. The bathrooms- even the porta potty's are kept clean!! Food- expensive- bring your own. Definitely a fun day if you are into fast cars.

    I visited this raceway for the first time to attend GR Cup 4/6-4/8. I had an amazing time and didn't realize how close it is! I was lucky enough to be able to view the races from a suite, but even the higher level stands seats have a great view of the track. Everything was super accessible and easy to find, I'm glad there were a variety of food options and friendly staff on site. Toyota did a great job at organizing the event at this location, hope to attend GR Cup next year! (I also hope to do my Toyota NASA day at this track)!

    I thrifted this vintage 1996 Kellogg's Nascar fanny pack for $13! Perfect to wear for the Nascar race!

    I was never into Nascar before, but my boyfriend got tickets for the Nascar weekend at the Sonoma Raceway last month. We went both Saturday and Sunday. I was excited because one of my favorite TV shows is "Impractical Jokers" and on that Sunday, Murr (James Murray) from that show was the Grand Marshal. Sonoma Raceway is HUGE! OMG! We were shocked how massive the place was. I'm guessing it's the size of 5 football stadiums. There are multiple parking lots, and they have shuttle systems to take you to the Midway. Inside the raceway they even have free mini golf cart rides to take you around to certain points since the place is so huge. If you've never been to a Nascar race, image a county fair mixed in with racing. At the Midway they have multiple food vendors, and different booths that try to get you to sign up for things in exchange for hats, keychains, free food etc. I highly recommend getting your food first before you find you seats. Unless you're seated right at the Midway, you will have to walk super far to get to the different turns. The first day we were there, our seats were at Turn 2 and OMG that was a HIKE! It felt like I was hiking up the Mayan temples lol. The second day we sat at Turn 9 which was also a lengthy walk and hike. TIPS: 1. Bring earplugs, most people bring them since it's super loud 2. Except for the Midway, the seats at the turns are just concrete with no backing so bring stadium seat support if you need it 3. You're allowed to bring in food and drinks, only soft coolers allowed. On the website it says no outside alcohol is permitted, but we confirmed with security that beer cans are allowed, and we were able to bring some in the next day. 4. Even if the temperature is nice outside, bring a wide-brimmed hat and sun protection. I got a bad sunburn on my neck and chest area. 5. Wear comfortable walking shoes! Ladies, this is not the place to wear heels, flip flops or sandals! Trust me on this!

    Came by for the BMW M Track Day and it was a decent experience. The track itself was in good condition when we did the lead follow with the instructor. They do have racing fuel on site. The parking lot is huge, perfect for supervised drag races and autocross! There is an attendant at the gate to sign a waiver before entering.

    My son and I attended the NHRA drag races at Sonoma Raceway. The experience was beyond awesome. We parked in parking lot #2, which is reserved for those with tickets to the Nitro Club and others, as well. It is the closest public parking lot, I think, but there is still a long downhill walk to the Raceway. The lots are unpaved, but well graded, and the rest of the walk is on pavement or concrete. Entry to the Nitro Club required verification of tickets and a wristband affixed. A bowl of earplugs was available like party favors. They are needed. The Nitro Club is located about 20 yards to the side and slightly behind the water box, making the burnouts pretty specatacular viewing. The 'Christmas Tree' is quite visible as is the drama of staging and launch. We were on the second of three floors, and could see all the way down the track to the finish line, uphill deceleration area and catch fences. Seated in the Nitro Club, with air conditioning and a delicious buffet and drinks, and nearby restrooms all day long is the way to do it. That said, the sounds and smells of drag racing, particularly the nitro-fed monsters, requires standing downstairs by the fence and palming your ears, which, of course, are already plugged. The open grandstands certainly offered excellent viewing of the quarter mile track. And that might be the ticket next time. Visits to the pit area are highly recommended. Just have your earplugs handy for whenever an engine is started up. There was an amazing variety of vendors for this event, and I bought a ball cap for myself and a tank top for the wife. Temptation, you know? There were also several food vendors, and quite a variety of offerings. I don't think anybody wanted cash, so be sure to have your plastic with you. This was my first NHRA event, and it will not be my last !

    Turn 7.

    The NASCAR cup visit to Sonoma is always fun. If you're into feeling and hearing the raw power of stock car acceleration, get seats in the grandstands. For a view of the track from the highest point, look into seats on turns 3-5. The best place to catch cars passing is on turns 7, 9, and the carousel.

    Sonoma Raceway!!!!

    Sonoma Raceway is a great place for a NASCAR Race!! We have been coming here for a few years now and will hopefully be returning for years to come. Food options are good, drink options as well but VERY pricey. They do allow you ti bring food and drinks in so that is helpful. This year it seemed they were also allowing people to bring alcohol in but not sure if that is always the case. Turn 7 is the best place to sit to enjoy a road course race!!

    Fantastic place to spend a day on the track. I was here as part of the AMG Pro Driving Academy and had the chance to drive the track in an AMG GT, what an experience!

    Do bags have to be clear?

    No they do not have to be clear.

    How much is for parking??? I was looking for answers but couldn’t find any.

    No charge for parking.

    For Sunday where is the best turn to sit at...we have tickets at turn 3 for Saturday, but are unsure about Sunday?

    Depends on which race, and what you want to see. Best to call their office, 800-870-RACE

    Zoom Zoom track days was my second track day. They were awsome! Great for a new guy on the track…read more The coaching was absolutely fabulous! These guys just love what they do! The organization was first rate! Great safety and communications. For those of you who have not done track days, if you ride a motorcycle, you owe it to yourself to try it! You can bring any type of bike and need basic safety gear. If you get more into it, you will spend more. I would absolutely recommend Zoom Zoom or Z2.

    This was my first time to the Zoom Zoom Track Day. We arrived at Infineon Raceway at 7am. There…read morewere only a few people there that early. We were still waiting for my boyfriends Yamaha R6 that was on the Rockridge Two Wheels truck along side another Yamaha and 2 Aprila bikes. We took a walk around the grounds and ended up on the track just at the sun was still rising. When the rest of the boys and the bikes arrived we found a nice spot to unload and set up. They needed to go through inspection and orientation. As the guys got suited up in there racing suits I started to get excited to watch them all. The riders all gather and they let 4 bikes go at a time until they are all out. There are 20 minute sessions every hour. 3 before lunch and 4 after lunch. As a spectator it is so much fun. It was a long day, 7am-5:30pm but the day seemed to fly by! I sat in the stands and watched at the checkered finishline. In the afternoon I went to the green bridge and watched my boyfriend zoom by into the first few turns, it was so cool to watch! I cant wait for the next track day!!! Well that was my review as a spectator. Here is my boyfriends review as a rider: "For any motorcycle rider, a track day is a unparalleled experience. Its really the only way to truly use your bikes full capabilities without jeopardizing life and license. Zoom Zooms staff creates a safe and exhilarating environment that allows you to fully enjoy yourself. They provide as much (or as little) help and insight as you feel you need as well as keeping you safe from reckless and inexperienced riders. They keep an eye out for hazardous riders and give them the boot if necessary. I would ride with these guys again. See you next season Zoom Zoom."
