Skyline Motorsports Park Joins Forces with WDRA Under New Management for a Multi-Year Partnership

The World Drag Racing Alliance (WDRA) and Skyline Motorsports park (previously Skyview Drags) will join forces with a multi-year agreement as the facility is under a new lessee and management.

James Robinson (Robbo) brings nearly 35 years of experience in working with multiple tracks in and out of NY state to the picturesque eighth-mile facility with partners George Coleman and Dave Gennett.

“Having the Skyline racers in the WDRA will feel like a family reunion and I’m excited that a part of the new managerial goal is to bring a team to the Bracket Finals,” said WDRA Director Jon O’Neal. “The goal of providing a platform for racers and racetracks to prosper is not lost on Robbo and the new team.”

Located in Tioga Center, NY, Skyline will be opening for the 2025 reunion season on April 11th, and the schedule will include Friday night test and tune, Saturday shows, no prep racing, and special events. The biggest change for the drag strip is moving the points program to Sundays. Also planned are car shows, tractor pulls, diesel races, truck night, Jet dragsters, holiday weekend shootouts, and once-a-month, Wednesday night grudge racing.

“Staying with WDRA sanctioning, Skyline Motorsports Park will field a team to show their strength at the Summit Bracket finals held in September at Keystone Raceway Park,” said Robinson. “We look forward to bringing a team back to the finals and competing with the best.”

Along with the Accutime-equipped drag strip, there is a ½ mile concrete oval, which is open to leasing options. The facility also has a nearly completed Hare Scramble track, and maximizing the motorsports options of the facility will be a priority for the new management.

The facility and its racers can reap the rewards of being part of The Alliance through several exclusive discounts and benefits provided by WDRA marketing partners.
