Drift
★★★★☆
Evergreen Speedway is a drift circuit in Monroe, Washington. Drift events here are about car control at the limit: sustained, sideways slides scored on line and showmanship, not the clock. With around 17 tracks inside a 75-mile radius, Monroe sits in a genuine pocket of racing — easy to build a road trip around. The front office picks up at (360) 805-6100; pair that with the map and directions here to plan the trip. New to this kind of racing? Our guides walk through what to expect, what to bring, and how a typical event runs.

Know Before You Go
- Open drift days
- Public drift sessions run $50-150 for 2-3 hours of seat time. Helmet, fixed-back seat, and 4-point harness are typically required. Loaner gear is often available.
- Tire reality
- Plan on burning a complete set of rear tires per session. Used 200-treadwear tires from a tire shop are the cheap path; staggered sizes are common.
- Car prep that helps
- Hydraulic e-brake, welded or locked rear differential, and 60+ degrees of steering angle make a huge difference. Stock cars CAN drift — they just don't last.
- Coaching
- Most events pair newer drivers with a coach who rides along or radios from the side. Take advantage — drift technique is much faster to learn with feedback.
