The Pine Ridge Mall in Chubbuck, Idaho, hosted three SCCA autocross events this year, and for an encore hosted an Inaugural Drift Car event.
Work began on the evening of 04OCT2024, establishing the area of the parking lot that would be used. Formula Drift-Rudy Hansen, Apex Idaho, Pocatello Car Club, and a host of others, helped make the inaugural smoke show possible.
The cleanest that part of the parking lot has been in decades!
They were still prepping the parking lot the next morning.
Waiting in the wings, 05OCT2024:
Plenty of seating, at a safe distance.
Warming up (teasing) the spectators who were straggling in:
Too bad they didn’t drift this patriotic van.
The pros show you how:
It’s amazing how cars sliding around light poles can hold people’s attention for several hours. One more time:
The event ran most of the day. For a fee you could view the action from danger-close in the ‘restricted area’, and for another fee you could take a ride (of your life). Going by the size of the spectator crowd (which was bigger than any of the SCCA autocross events) I suspect (hope) they’ll be a Second Annual Drift Car Show, in 2025.
At the Mall: 
Early Halloween, Trunk or Treat
