The roar of Harley horsepower returns to Ohio as the All-Harley Drag Racing Association (AHDRA) rolls into Dragway 42 for the Buckeye All-Harley Drag Racing Nationals on Saturday, August 23, 2025, presented by Advanced Sleeve.

This pivotal event marks the third stop on AHDRA’s 2025 national tour, with only two more races remaining on the schedule. Ohio riders, fans, and race family won’t want to miss the all-day adrenaline rush and the opportunity to experience drag racing action up close.

Saturday’s main event features full-throttle Harley drag racing with pit-side access that puts fans right in the heart of the action. From street bikes to top-fuel monsters, every pass down the strip promises high speeds and head-turning performance.

Racers eager to get a head start can take advantage of Friday night’s Test & Tune session from 6 to 11 PM, hosted by Dragway 42. A $30 tech card is required at the gate for those looking to dial in their machines before race day.

After Ohio, AHDRA’s season heads south for the Rocket City All-Harley Moonshot Showdown on September 12–13 at Rocket City Dragway in Alabama. The weekend features Friday night qualifying under the lights and Saturday eliminations in a high-energy atmosphere.

Then, the tour concludes with the Bayou All-Harley Nightmare Races on October 31 – November 2 at No Problem Raceway in Louisiana. The Halloween weekend finale includes a three-day lineup of Test & Tune, qualifying, eliminations, and festive fall racing fun.

Tickets and race registration for the Buckeye Nationals and all AHDRA events are now available online. Come ride, race, and rally with the nation’s premier Harley-Davidson drag racing series.
