The 2026 West Virginia Speedfest is set to be the premier car-culture event of the summer. Anchored by a thrilling three-mile Hillclimb, the competition features three distinct classes designed to showcase both elite performance and grassroots participation.
The event brings together race cars from multiple eras of motorsport, alongside drift cars that attack the mountain in groups of five to eight at a time, delivering an electrifying spectacle for fans. The Street Class opens the door for owners of performance cars and trucks to experience Hillclimb racing firsthand—offering a rare opportunity to compete in a motorsport discipline that is typically inaccessible to drivers without prior racing experience. Each year, Speedfest introduces a new wave of drivers to the excitement and challenge of Hillclimb competition.
Beyond the track action, West Virginia Speedfest offers a full weekend of entertainment. Attendees can enjoy the Speedfest Bash on Friday and Saturday evenings, as well as spirited scenic drives open to the public at no cost, departing nightly at 5:30 p.m. Hosted at Snowshoe Mountain Resort, the event is surrounded by world-class downhill mountain biking, exceptional dining, shopping, and family-friendly activities.
With motorsport, adventure, and mountain culture all in one destination, West Virginia Speedfest delivers an unforgettable experience in one of the region’s most iconic locations.
