“It was twenty years ago today,
Midwest drag racers had a new place to play,
Straight down the quarter mile,
Guaranteed to bring a smile,
So, let us introduce to you,
The one, the only,
Dam Fast Track,
Oahe Speedway!”

(With apologies to a little British quartet)

Oahe Speedway opened on July 3, 2005 as South Dakota’s newest NHRA sanctioned
quarter mile drag strip.  Located 14 miles north of Pierre, SD, the track became
a destination track for drag racers and fans from throughout the upper Midwest.
The track would operate continuously through Labor Day weekend 2020. 
The track was closed permanently in early 2021.
