Ascot Motorsports

Ascot Raceway, located between the posh Hollywood Hills and the roaring Pacific Ocean, thousands of local thrill seekers would gather on a regular basis to witness American Motorsport history. Between 1957 and 1990, Ascot Raceway became a celebrated hot-spot in Gardena, California where spectators could get a close up look into the dangerous, competitive and entertaining sport of dirt track racing. Made famous for its well known radio ads “Where the Harbor, the San Diego and the 91 freeways collide!”, it became a place where fond memories were made by fans and legendary racers alike. The track’s reputation spanned the globe due to the skill required to race there.

Like its past, Ascot Motorsports hopes to keep the feeling of freedom alive through high quality products that directly honor the past by delivering an authentically raw piece of vintage Americana. We strive to continue to support and engage the local community by making most of our items right here in Los Angeles, CA. In fact, all of our t-shirts are manufactured and designed just a few miles from where the track was!  Our goal is to one day be 100% American made, and every item on our website will specify if it is made in the USA, so you can buy with confidence knowing you are supporting the local community.
