In the late 1950s and especially in the 1960s, car, formula car and motorcycle races were held almost regularly inside the fairgrounds. They were organized by AMK Svazarmu Královodvorská strojírny and ZO Svazarmu BVV.

The capacity of the track was 16 for motorcycles, 12 for cars. In addition to these races, a regional go-kart championship was also held in the exhibition grounds.
