Got the need for some serious speed? There’s no better way to crank up the adrenaline one drag race, demolition derby, and burnout contest at a time than this NHRA-sanctioned racing event in The Oasis of Nevada.
Kicking off Fallon’s warm summer nights, Octane Fest is typically held in mid June each year at the Rattlesnake Raceway on the outskirts of Fallon, hosted by the Lahontan Auto Racing Association. The event kicks off with an action-packed lineup of events on Friday that lead into Saturday, featuring all kinds of high-powered dirt rack motorsports racing, like demolition derby drag racing, and more. If you’re not behind the wheel of your own car, purchase stadium admission or get your hands on a pit pass. In between races, head for the Churchill County Fairgrounds for even more motorsports fun like a truck and tractor pull, freestyle motocross jump show, monster trucks, the RatFest Rumble Car Show, the crowning of Miss Octane, all kinds of great food and drink vendors, and live music that lasts into the night.
