On June 15, 2025 we hosted our second annual Subaru-only event with our friends at StanceWars at Pacific Raceways.

Despite the event being on Father’s Day this year, the Subaru-only judged car show drew in over 120 cars and nearly 250 cars in the Subaru VIP Parking on the paddock.
The day started around 9am with roll-in for the show and the main gates opened at 10am. Shortly after the main gates opened, Lead / Follow by ProFormance Racing School started. It was cool to see groups of only Subaru vehicles on track together. The sounds of flat 4 engines filled the track for most of the day!
Our judges from last year in the Subaru community returned to help us judge the competition. Chris Porter (head judge), Andrew Vun, Tina Ellis, and Tanner Smith (@smeedia_) divided up the classes based on which they were most familiar with and picked some amazing cars for each award. The full list of winners can be found at the bottom of this post. We did receive some feedback regarding the classing of OEM+ and Modified vehicles being wrong and will be making some adjustments to classing for next year.
The end of the event featured a parade lap of only Subaru vehicles around the road course. This part of the event grew compared to 2024 and featured over 60 cars for a slow lap around the track. You can see the photos from this album by Josiah Ferarro @_jojofoto_ below.
THANK YOU to the Subaru community for continuing to support the NW Subaru Festival! Special thank you to our sponsors/vendors, staff/volunteers, and Pacific Raceways for making this event possible.
