The Ridge Motorsports Park

The Ridge Motorsports Park is a permanent road course set in the forested hills near Shelton, Washington, in the Pacific Northwest. The circuit opened in 2012 and was designed by Steve Crawford, with a full layout measuring roughly 2.5 miles and featuring 16 turns. Built into rolling, tree-lined terrain, the track is known for dramatic elevation changes, blind crests, and fast sweeping corners that reward commitment and precise vision.

Its character comes from the natural landscape. The course climbs and drops through the timberland, with cresting braking zones and downhill esses that test a driver's confidence and car control. Multiple configurations, including a chicane variant, let organizers tailor the layout to different cars and events, from club track days to professional racing.

The Ridge has become one of the premier road racing venues in the Northwest. It currently hosts MotoAmerica national motorcycle racing and has welcomed series such as Trans-Am West and the 24 Hours of Lemons. For drivers, the combination of elevation, flow, and technical corner sequences makes it an excellent place to build high-performance driving skills and learn to read a challenging, fast circuit.
