About Nyora Raceway
Nyora Raceway is a dirt speedway in South Gippsland, Victoria, run by a community club that has been racing on the site since 1960 and grown into one of the state's larger speedway organisations. It is a spectator venue — you come to watch, not to drive — hosting around ten race meetings a year across a wide spread of classes including Wingless Sprints, Standard Saloons (with ladies' and junior grades), Sports Sedans and V8 Dirt Modifieds. What sets Nyora apart is the entertainment programming around the racing: monster trucks, Crash N Bash and demolition derbies draw big family crowds, who watch from the venue's tiered grass viewing area known as "The Hill". It is an affordable, alcohol-free, family-friendly night out.

What classes and events run here?
Programs feature classes such as Wingless Sprints, Standard Saloons (including ladies' and junior grades), Sports Sedans and V8 Dirt Modifieds, plus crowd-pulling monster truck shows, Crash N Bash and demolition derbies.
How often does it run?
The club hosts around ten race meetings a year across the season, so check the calendar for the next date, gate times and the classes scheduled.
Is it family-friendly?
Yes — it is an affordable, alcohol-free, family-focused venue with a grass viewing hill, food vans and a canteen on site. Bring chairs or a rug and warm layers for after dark.
