Bakersfield R/C Raceway

Head up to Dirt Oval at Hot Rod Hobbies for some Saturday afternoon racing. Corey Farrow will have the track ready for some awesome racing. 🏁

Hey Dirt Oval at Hot Rod Hobbies faithful!!!

It's Dirt Oval week at the World Famous Hot Rod Hobbies!!! This weekend, however, we will be racing on Saturday afternoon instead of Friday night! After much thought and conversations with the guys, it makes more sense to run on Saturday during the day to get some extra daytime practice prior to the Shootout! Also, the track has not been very good on Friday nights once the sun goes down so lets try Saturday afternoon! We did have some rain over the past weekend so the extra time helps the guys get the track prepared! Keep in mind that we do have off-road on Saturday evening at 6pm so Dirt Oval racing should be done by 4pm!

Moving forward after the Shootout, we will switch from Sunday racing at 2pm to Saturday afternoon racing at 11am. We feel that out turnouts will be better on Saturday afternoons versus Sunday afternoons! I have posted the updated schedule for the rest of the 2026!!!
