The Pacific Northwest, known for its vibrant car culture, hosts Pacific Waterland, a premier European car show. This annual event, held in Oregon for the past eight years, draws car enthusiasts from across the region and beyond. Pacific Waterland offers a unique experience, showcasing the passion and dedication of the Pacific Northwest’s European car community.
The Woodburn Dragstrip provides the perfect backdrop for this one-day automotive extravaganza. Despite the Pacific Northwest’s reputation for rainy weather, Pacific Waterland often enjoys sunny skies, creating an ideal atmosphere for showcasing prized vehicles.
Pacific Waterland isn’t just a car show; it’s a multifaceted event catering to all automotive passions. Attendees can enjoy thrilling drag races, a Vanagon cram, exciting burnout contests, and a bustling swap meet for both the public and exhibitors.
Enthusiasts from neighboring states flock to Pacific Waterland for a final celebration of European car culture before the winter season arrives. The event fosters a strong sense of community, uniting individuals who share a common passion for meticulously crafted and modified vehicles.
Setting Pacific Waterland apart is its unique judging system. Instead of a panel of judges, fellow exhibitors cast their votes, ensuring that the awards are determined by true enthusiasts who understand the nuances of the VAG (Volkswagen Audi Group) scene. This peer-judged format reflects the collaborative and appreciative spirit of the Pacific Northwest European car community.
Pacific Waterland is more than just a car show; it’s a testament to the passion, camaraderie, and artistry of the Pacific Northwest European car community. It’s an event that leaves a lasting impression, solidifying the bonds within this unique automotive family. For more photos and coverage, visit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/watercooledsociety/
