Mudfest

NWAPA Northwest Outdoor Activity Vehicle of the Year Event – Mudfest

In its 27th year, the Mudfest event includes an average of 25 NWAPA member automotive journalists who spend two days driving around 25 vehicles through a mix of on-road handling and off-road courses. Testing takes place at The Ridge Motorsports Park in Shelton, Wash. In addition to the paved road course, a custom off-road course is built to explore the capabilities of the sport utility vehicles, crossovers and pickups.

Vehicles compete in six different market segments. At the end of the event, attending journalists tally up their scorecards and select the winners.
