Group Health Friday Night Racing

The Group Health Friday Night Track Racing series ("The Show") is thrilling action for racers and spectators alike. World-class athletes compete under the spotlights while family and friends picnic on the lawn or enjoy the view from the stands. The popular "Kiddie Kilo" happens the first and third Fridays of each month. Join the MVA info mailing list for updates on when the 2008 Racebook will be available.

Note: Rain cancels racing. Since weather is extremely variable in the Puget Sound area it is often difficult to know if it will be dry and safe ahead of time. If it is looking like rain on race night, we'll try to provide cancellation updates starting at 5:30pm on the MVA hotline (206-957-4555). To view the conditions near the velodrome, check the WSDOT camera.
