Sports and Recreation Facilities

For more than three decades, Willowbank Raceway has thrilled crowds with a powerhouse calendar of national and international events. The jewel in its crown is the Gulf Western Oil Winternationals — the largest championship drag racing event held outside the United States — where fire-breathing Top Fuel Dragsters and elite professional categories light up the strip each June.

But you don’t have to be a professional to race here.

Regular Test ‘n’ Tune events give drivers and riders the chance to take their own car or bike down the quarter mile in a safe, controlled environment. Whether you’re chasing a personal best or lining up against mates, it’s a bucket-list experience for revheads of all levels.

Family-friendly, high-energy and unmistakably loud, Willowbank Raceway delivers pure horsepower and heart-pounding excitement just a short drive from Ipswich and 45 minutes from Brisbane.
