About Firebird Raceway

 

Firebird was founded by the late Bill New and his wife Ellanor back in 1968. The expansive drag racing facility was built from scratch paralleling Highway 16 frontage in a south to north direction. Hosting nearly fifty racing days each season, the NHRA member track traditionally begins each season in April and continues through mid-October. In total, literally tens of thousands of fans and racers attend events every season.

 

Operated today by the second generation of the New family, sometimes referred to as the New Crew, each of them are dedicated to following the same motto, “We strive to provide a clean, first-class venue for the racers and spectators to enjoy our sport. Often called the Firebird experience, we will go out of our way to create affordable and action-packed fun for your entire family.

 

Furthermore, we jump start each race season with the Boise Roadster Show staged at Expo Idaho. As Idaho’s largest motorsport’s event, the show is a three-day and night ISCA-sanctioned rod, custom and truck show that traditionally lands on the second weekend of March.

 

Firebird is also proud to be formally nominated in the National Register of Historic Places. After better than 50 years in operation, we are listed today within the archives of the National Parks Department.
