Events //
Please see the schedule page for the official list of events: 2010 Evergreen Drift Schedule
Here are the different types of events for the 2010 season:
- Open Drift - These are practice play days open to anyone who has a car that can pass the tech inspection, has the safety equipment required in the rules, and agrees to abide by the Evergreen Drift rules and waiver terms. Grandstands are open for spectators and drivers and crew are allowed in the pits for a full day of fun drifting actions.
- Drift School - This year there is a single drift school scheduled for Sunday 5/16. This school is designed for drivers new to drifting to get one on one instruction from Evergreen Drift’s experienced instructors. If you don’t have a drift car you’ll be able to sign up to attend the school presentation and take ride alongs with the instructors to lean first hand what it takes to get started in the sport.
- 3/8ths Grassroots Championship - Are you new to drift competitions? Maybe you don’t have the budget to build a 400hp ProAm monster car for the 5/8ths. The 3/8ths Grassroots Championship was designed for you. This is a unique three round series allows drivers of all skill levels and car preparation levels to compete inexpensively with an equal shot at the podium. The proven competition rules allow for caged and non caged cars to safely compete head to head by using “Pseudo Tandem” bracket eliminations. Judging is based on how well the driver pushes his car to the limits allowing a beginner in a mildly modified car an equal playing filed against a competitor with a highly modified car. This is a true grassroots series allowing drivers of all experience and modification levels to ‘run what you brung’ and compete without breaking the bank.
- Evergreen Drift Northwest ProAm Championship - The Northwest’s top drifters will battle it out on the full 5/8ths Formula Drift spec course in a five round series under the Friday night lights. Both licensed professional drifters and amateur drivers will vie for the the title of Evergreen Drift Northwest ProAm Champion. With a round held in conjunction with the Formula Drift Pro Championship event in July and the finale at the Evergreen State Fair this will be the hottest series in the Northwest. This is a Formula Drift ProAm sanctioned series and the season’s top finishing amateur driver will receive a Formula Drift Professional license! Additionally, the amateur drivers that finish the season ranked second through fifth will receive invites to the Formula Drift ProAm nationals for a chance to earn their FD Pro license. There is one more wildcard ProAm Nationals invitation that will be given out at the discretion of Evergreen Drift officials for a total of 5 invites for the season. To compete in this series your car and safety equipment must conform to the ProAm Rules and drivers must demonstrate the necessary skill to safely navigate the 5/9ths ProAm course.
Event Special Notes //
Noise Curfew -
County regulations prevent the firing of an engine (aka any loud automotive noise) at the speedway before 11AM on Sundays. If residents living near the track report a noise violation the Speedway will be fined several thousands dollars. Please help us by not revving engines and gearing up as you drive in if you have loud exhaust. We need to keep the neighbors happy and fine free to continue drifting at the Speedway!
When to Arrive -
Sundays -
We need every driver to arrive as close to 9am as possible. First car on course is at 11am sharp. If you want the maximum amount of run time show up as early as possible.
What to do when you get here -
- Pay and sign the waivers at the pit shack.
- Park in the pits, unpack, and drive your car to tech.
- Once your car passes tech make sure you get your run group assigned by the registration people.
- Put your car into staging as soon as possible.

Pit Gate -
We will be using the far back pit gate again for ALL pit access. Follow Cascade View Dr. off HWY2 all the way back until it dead ends on the 5/8ths.
NOTE: Gravel access road speed is 10 mph! Speeding will make the county workers unhappy and jeopardize our ability to hold future events. Do not speed, drift, or do doughnuts near the Speedway! Violators will be banned and reported to the police.
