Midnight Race Week 11/7

This summer, Pite Dragway – Sweden's northernmost drag racing track – is transformed into an epicenter for speed, community and midnight sun when Midnight Race Week takes over Norrbotten.

For nine days, drivers, teams, officials and spectators gather for a unique racing week where competition meets experience.

The official drag racing competitions are held on July 11–12 and July 17–18, with full power on Sweden's northernmost track and racing in the absolute top class.

The days in between offer varied activities, social events and motorsport in various forms – a week that is as much a festival as a competition.
Wednesday 15/7 is a rest day – no activities are arranged, so our officials get a well-deserved recovery before the final days.

Midnight Race Week is about more than racing. It's long bright evenings, engine sounds echoing in the forest, community in the pit and the feeling of being part of something truly special – in the far north.

Midnight Race Week – where racing never sleeps.

At Pite Dragway in Långnäs, just outside Piteå, it's time for this year's big drag racing competition again.
At Pite Dragway, drag racing competitions organized by SHRA Luleå have been held for 50 years. What kind of motorsport is drag racing, you might wonder? Drag racing is the world's fastest motorsport where two cars, motorcycles or snowmobiles compete against each other to see who can drive the 402.3 meters of the track in the best time.

Pite Dragway is known for being one of the country's best tracks, and in recent years a lot of improvements have been made that have resulted in it becoming a very audience-friendly arena. From the raised, more than 200-meter-long grandstand, you can follow the racing cars as they rush down the track. If you want to stretch your legs, you can walk around the pit behind the starting area and look at all the well-built cars and motorcycles while the teams are working on them between races. Pite Dragway is now an established track throughout Europe.

Directions:
Follow the green-yellow Pite Dragway signage that starts on the E4 south of Piteå, Trafikplats Bergsviken.
