Red CentreNATS is turning up the action for RCN11, September 5-7, 2025 in Alice Springs, with some exciting additions to the entrant activities on offer.

This year, we’re rolling out a lineup packed with excitement, featuring Roll Racing, the Jetcor Bike Show, Dirt Drags, and a jaw-dropping Top Doorslammer family feud.

Roll Racing takes centre stage at the Alice Springs Inland Dragway, challenging participants to unleash their skills from a rolling start at speeds of 40-50 km/h. Forget traditional racing formats; this knockout elimination style means competitors will go head-to-head, testing their reflexes and their equipment until just one remains.

For those that want to race offroad, the Dirt Drags will deliver an unparalleled experience. Set on a newly constructed dirt track at the National Transport Hall of Fame, it’s designed for speed demons and those with a thirst for adventure. Heads-up racing, flat-out in the red dirt of central Australia.

Motorcycle enthusiasts are also in for a treat with the Jetcor Bike Show. A dedicated bike show zone for the riders to display their prized machines, from custom choppers to performance road bikes and race machines of different styles and disciplines, at Blatherskite Park.

Your RCN11 ticket also gets you access to the Desert Nationals drag racing event on Wednesday, September 3. The Desert Nationals, along with Nitro Up North, will form an NT tri-series with Red CentreNATS. A highlight of the drag racing program will include the Top Doorslammer Family Feud with Lisa and Daniel Gregorini battling Brodie and John Zappia in an epic family rivalry where no love is lost and where the talking is done on and off the race track.

For Alice Springs car owners with a garage full of cars and bikes, Red CentreNATS is introducing a “Saturday Show ‘n’ Shine” entry ticket. This special offer allows existing entrants to register additional show-and-shine only vehicles for just $20.

Don’t miss your chance to be part of this action-packed weekend and join the fun. Early registration at just $85 has been extended until April 29, 2025.

Red CentreNATS is brought to you by Summernats, and proudly supported by the Northern Territory Government.
