Yeah, Fresno is really in no-mans land for the automotive scene unless you're into street racing. If the track in Merced ever gets built, it may help change things for you.
Riverside Motorsports Park is a 1200-acre, motorsports-themed family recreation and entertainment center in development in Merced County, located in the heart of California's Central Valley. (See map.)
The Park plans include eight different types of tracks, including a paved super speedway; 3-1/2-mile, multi-configuration road course; 5,000-foot drag strip; kart course; integrated paved oval tracks; integrated dirt oval tracks; an off-road circuit; and a motocross course. Riverside Motorsports Park's multiple tracks will provide a racing venue for every form of automobile, truck, motorcycle and kart racing—meeting the needs of professional and club racing sanctioning organizations across the United States.
A landscaped environment complete with RV facilities, picnic grounds, upscale food courts and family restaurants, video and game arcades, playgrounds and clean, attended restrooms, the park will be a motorsports and recreational destination for racers, race fans and families from California, the West, and the entire United States. In addition to motorsports events, the Park plans to feature mid-week racing and technical motorsports schools, music concerts, car shows and business center events.
