Our track dog policy is "no dogs allowed", due to the loud car and jet noises.  We have had animals break free and the track is on a busy highway where they could run and get hit.  Having said that, we do understand that with the convenience of motorhomes and campers, it is hard not to bring your animals with you on a long weekend.  Your dog(s) will be allowed to stay in your camp space/pit area as long as they are on a 6-foot lease.  If you leave your area, we ask that your animals are not left unattended outside and are instead placed safely inside.  It is your responsibility to clean up after your animals. We also ask that you keep a tight rein on your animals or place them inside your Camper,  Motorhome, Trailer, etc., when the loud nitro cars and jets race, as they make break loose. The animal’s safety comes first!

If you plan on leaving your animal in your vehicle, you need to leave it home.  It is against Oregon State** and Woodburn Dragstrip’s Policy to keep any animals in your car unattended. If it happens and the office is notified, we will make several announcements to locate you and get you back to your vehicle.  If you do not return to your vehicle, we will (allowed by Oregon law), break your window to get the animal out. 

**On June 22, 2022, a new Oregon law took effect that expanded protection for children and pets left alone in vehicles.  The law shields members of the public from damages if they break into a car to save the life of a pet or child.
