Aghadowey Oval joined the portfolio of DMC Race Promotions in 2013, when a multi year lease was taken out for it's usage as our second track. Steeped in history dating back to the 1970's, the venue really is the home of oval racing in Ulster. Much of the old track, which last seen mainstream action back at the turn of the millennium, is still in use, but the corners have been widened and reprofiled to suit modern racing. The track view banking is always a popular part of the experience, whilst new toilets have been installed as well as new track lighting too.
Taking top flight oval racing back to Aghadowey Oval should provide a real shot in the arm for the North West based racers, and hopefully entice many more from the area to come and take a look at our exciting sport.
The track is situated 50 miles from capital city Belfast and its ferry port, which is served by Stena Line who operate their Superfast Ferries to the all-new Cairnryan Terminal in Scotland. They also sail to Liverpool on the hugely popular overnight service.
We are also just over 40 miles from Northern Irelands other major port of Larne, which is connected to Scotland by P&O Irish Sea with sailings to and from Cairnryan and Troon.
Many English drivers and fans also prefer to travel via the Holyhead to Dublin or Dun Laoghaire routes and then drive north, with these again operated by Stena Line.
