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.
