Former Skyview Drags enters partnership with World Drag Racing Alliance
TIOGA CENTER, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Skyline Motorsports Park in Tioga Center, formerly known as Skyview Drags, has entered a multi-year partnership with the World Drag Racing Alliance (WDRA), the park announced Friday.
The scenic eighth-mile facility will be under new management going forward, with veteran track operator James Robinson leading the effort alongside George Coleman and Dave Gennett. Robinson has nearly 35 years of drag racing venue management experience across New York State.
'Robinson brings a wealth of knowledge, passion, and vision to Skyline's future,' the release said.
The original Skyview Drags only operated for 12 years, closing abruptly in 2018, and forcing local drag racing enthusiasts to drive to Syracuse or beyond to participate in the sport.
In April 2024, the track was resurrected by a team of mostly volunteers under the name Skiview Drags led by an anonymous owner and track managers Pat Schrader and Gennett. WDRA director Jon O'Neal says the Alliance is excited to welcome Skyline Motorsports Park into the family.
'Having the Skyline racers in the WDRA will feel like a family reunion,' O'Neal said. 'I'm excited that a part of the new managerial goal is to bring a team to the Bracket Finals. The goal of providing a platform for racers and racetracks to prosper is not lost on Robbo and the new team.'
The new schedule will include a variety of events and be more conducive to fans and racers alike.
