How Do I Get to Woodburn Dragstrip from Interstate 5?

Updated

Take Exit 271 (Woodburn) off Interstate 5 in Oregon, then head west for about 1.5 miles. Stay in the right lane through the roundabout, continue past the railroad tracks, and the dragstrip will be on your left, immediately after the Woodburn Golf Course. This route works whether you are traveling north or south on I-5.

Step-by-Step Directions

  1. Set your exit. From either direction on I-5, take Exit 271 for Woodburn, Oregon.
  2. Head west. Follow the road west from the exit for roughly 1.5 miles toward the track.
  3. Enter the roundabout in the right lane. The track's own directions are specific here: stay in the right lane to get through the roundabout and continue toward the dragstrip.
  4. Cross the railroad tracks. The track sits just beyond them.
  5. Look left after the golf course. Woodburn Dragstrip is on your left, immediately past the Woodburn Golf Course.

Before You Go

  • Check the event schedule first. The track runs events from March to October, and gate-opening times and event details are posted through its Google calendar, which the site invites visitors to sync.
  • Plan around the season. If you are traveling outside March–October, confirm there is an event before making the drive.
  • Expect a range of vehicles. Events feature everything from Jr Dragsters to Jet Cars, with cars running 100 to 300 mph, so the experience varies by event date.

For food, seating, tickets, local hotels and restaurants, and other visitor details, the track's Visitor Info section covers what to know before arriving.
