As a Division 7 NHRA drag racing facility, Redding Dragstrip racers participate in a wide variety of NHRA programs including, but not limited to the NHRA ET Challenge, and the NHRA Summit Racing Series, which includes Junior Dragsters. The facility also hosts many street legal and other drag racing special events, which are designed to keep street racers safe and legal by giving them an opportunity to race the strip instead of the streets.
