Big Open House Kicks Off A New Era at OREC

Monday, 16 October 2017

The Onawa Racing and Events Complex (OREC) in Onawa, Iowa held an open house on Saturday, October 14 to a packed crowd of enthusiast racers and fans.

“With over 500 people in attendance we gave out more than 200 racer surveys as we continue to measure the pulse of the racers” said Scott Gardner of Gardner Race Track Consultants. “That information will be used to develop the class structure and programs that will be announced early this winter so the racers and fans can plan ahead for the 2018 season” continued Gardner.

OREC will open in 2018 at an IHRA eighth-mile dragstrip and events center and will be developed into a quarter-mile facility as additional funds are raised. “The opening date is a moving target based on the weather conditions for the work that needs completed as the board of directors are committed to getting the facility opened as soon as possible next year” mentioned Gardner.
