With less than a week to go, organisers are calling on riders and fans alike to head to Eastern Creek for an evening dedicated entirely to two wheels. Bike Night is designed for motorcycle enthusiasts who want to test their machines down the quarter-mile in a safe and controlled environment, while also enjoying the atmosphere of a packed dragway and the camaraderie of fellow riders.

Competitors are encouraged to secure their entry online ahead of the event to guarantee a spot on the strip, as limited entries will be available at the gate.

The night offers riders the chance to run their street or race bike down the drag strip, whether they are seasoned drag racers chasing quick times or first-timers keen to experience the thrill of launching off the start line under the famous “Christmas tree” lights. The event also welcomes spectators, making it an easy Friday night outing for anyone who enjoys motorcycles and motorsport.

Located on Ferrers Road in Eastern Creek, Sydney Dragway is a purpose-built quarter-mile drag racing facility that hosts a wide range of motorsport events throughout the year, including state championship racing and regular street-style race nights.
