Night Racing Is Back at Saldanha Drags — A Two-Day Festival of Speed and Glory
Night racing is finally making its return as Saldanha Drags brings the heat back to Saldanha Airfield on 5 & 6 December 2025. After months of behind-the-scenes work, countless calls, and a mountain of approvals, the West Coast’s most electrifying motorsport event is roaring back to life — bigger, louder, and built for one thing only: RIDE FOR GLORY.
This year, Saldanha Drags is delivering a full two-day racing festival, giving fans and drivers twice the adrenaline and twice the action.
Friday Night: Quarter-Mile Racing Under the Lights
The festival kicks off on Friday as gates open at 5PM, setting the stage for an electric night of ¼ mile drags. Under the floodlights, engines scream, tyres warm, and the atmosphere becomes nothing short of iconic. It’s the perfect warm-up for the high-stakes battles to follow on Saturday.
Saturday: 800m Top-End Battles
Saturday delivers raw speed and pure bravery with 800m top-end duels — the battlefield where boost, power, and fearless driving meet. This is where legends are forged and records fall.
At the last Saldanha Drags event, Jerome hit a blistering top speed of 315.49 km/h. With Night Racing returning, the big question is: who will take that number down this December? Fans are already placing their bets and tagging their favourite drivers.
