A longtime staple on the Firebird racing calendar, the Spring Warm Up & Swap Meet is set to return for its 32nd edition on Saturday, April 4, 2026.

For more than three decades, this popular spring tradition has brought together racers, collectors, and automotive enthusiasts for a full weekend featuring one of the region’s largest automotive swap meets and a full day of testing on the dragstrip.

Online vendor registration, buyer passes and your test card now available ONLINE.

Friday, April 3rd, serves as the primary set-up day for vendors (with early Saturday setup also available) and early-bird racer pit parking. The main day for the Spring Automotive Swap Meet is Saturday, with vendor and racer gates opening at 7:30 a.m., followed by general admission access beginning at 9:00 a.m.

We look forward to kicking off another exciting season with you at Firebird!
