Firebird Raceway
Firebird Raceway is a motorsport facility in Ada County, Idaho, designed for drag racing and motorcycle competitions. It features a straight racing strip with spectator areas alongside the track where visitors can watch high-speed events unfold.
The track was established in 1968 by Bill New and his wife Ellanor, quickly becoming a center for drag racing in the region. Its recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018 made it the first drag racing facility in the nation to receive this designation.
The raceway serves as a gathering place for the local racing community, where drivers and spectators have built lasting connections over many years. The sound of engines and the proximity of fans to the track during events create a sense of shared passion and belonging among those who visit.
The facility offers ample parking and is easily accessible for visitors planning to attend racing events. Visitors typically schedule their trips around race days to experience the full activity and atmosphere at the track.
The track hosted legendary drag racing cars including the 'Hemi Under Glass' wheelstander and the 'Vicious Too' Camaro during its early years, vehicles that shaped the sport's history. These machines and their racing legacy place the facility among the most significant locations in American motorsport history.
