Drifters slide their tricked-out vehicles around corners, above,
on opening day at The Mill Drift Track Saturday, May 9.
The drifting exposition drew a crowd of onlookers to the
former Weyerhaeuser Mill site, where the blacktop slab has
been converted into a course for the drivers who intentionally
over-steer to skillfully slide sideways on corners, with a lot of flash
and dash.
The Mill Drift Track opened with an
exhibition of cars from all over the
Willamette Valley and beyond, sliding
around corners on the blacktop north of
24th Avenue.
Admission was free for the first day, and
the fans turned out, right. The pits were
busy.
The track will be open again July 25 for the PNW Smokeshow & Shine.
