Alaska Speed Week is one of Alaska’s most electrifying annual events — a high-octane celebration of speed, skill, and the sheer spectacle of motorsport set against some of the most stunning landscapes in the world. The event draws participants and adrenaline enthusiasts from across the country, but its old website wasn’t matching the energy of what happens on the track. timberRidge Solutions, a top woman-owned marketing firm in Wasilla, partnered with Alaska Speed Week to build a digital experience as thrilling as the event itself — one that captures the excitement, drives registrations, and builds a year-round community of fans and participants.
Alaska Speed Week is defined by speed, excitement, and Alaska’s breathtaking scenery — and every pixel of the website needed to communicate that. We built a visual experience that hits visitors with the same rush as standing trackside: dynamic imagery, bold design choices, and a layout that conveys momentum from the very first scroll. The site feels fast because the event is fast.
Participants and fans need event information quickly and registration to be painless. We built a clear, intuitive event calendar and a streamlined registration system that gets excited racers and spectators from discovery to sign-up with as little friction as possible — because no one who’s ready to race should have to fight with a website to do it.
Part of Alaska Speed Week’s unique appeal is the setting — racing through some of Alaska’s most spectacular terrain. We integrated a scenic route explorer that lets visitors experience the course before they arrive, building anticipation and giving first-time participants the confidence and excitement they need to commit to the journey.
The excitement of Alaska Speed Week doesn’t stop when participants leave the track — it lives on social media. We integrated real-time social media feeds and sharing functionality throughout the site, keeping the energy alive between events, growing the community organically, and ensuring that every share from every fan becomes a recruitment tool for next year’s participants.
A bold, speed-forward visual design that immediately communicates the thrill and prestige of Alaska Speed Week — creating an online presence that matches the event’s reputation and draws visitors deeper into the experience with every scroll.

Live social media feeds and seamless sharing functionality woven throughout the site, keeping the community engaged year-round, amplifying the event’s reach with every post, and turning fans into active ambassadors for Alaska Speed Week.
Whether a racer is checking event details on their phone at the track or a fan is following race updates on a tablet, the Alaska Speed Week site delivers a fast, immersive experience on every screen — keeping the excitement accessible everywhere.
Motorsport fans and participants are on their phones constantly — checking schedules, sharing race moments, looking up route details, and following live updates from the track. The Alaska Speed Week website was engineered to perform flawlessly on mobile, loading fast and displaying the event’s energy beautifully on every screen size. Whether someone is registering for next year’s race from their couch or checking the schedule from the infield, the experience is smooth, responsive, and every bit as thrilling as the event itself.
