Perris Raceway Flat Track to reopen on Saturday in Perris

The Perris Raceway will hold its grand reopening at Perris Raceway on August 21. The motorcycle track opened in 1957, and evolved into a motocross track. The location was operated by Donna Edwards from 1999-2007. “In 2003 we decided to put in a flat track because that is the type of racing that we loved,” said Donna Edwards.

The track draws competitors from 5 to 78 years, according to Edwards. “For several years we broke rocks and filled in holes and created what is now Southern California Flat Track,” says Edwards.

Edwards sold the motocross section of the business in 2007 allowing them to focus on flat track events. The flat track is now owned by Vince Graves and Donna Edwards.
