FAQ
Q: I just started drifting, is this event beginner-friendly?
A: Absolutely!! Everyone has to experience their first day on track, and we’d love to help you have a good one. There are plenty of experienced drivers around to give you some pointers or even ride along with you and help point out some areas you could improve, so don’t be afraid to ask for help.
Q: Can I drift my convertible?
A: Yes but you will need at a minimum a rollover bar.
Q: Do I need a roll cage to drift on track?
A: You don’t need a full cage to participate. Cages with door bars are only required for tandem drifting unless approved by the staff. Other than that, buy your pass, bring your helmet, make sure you meet the tech requirements and you’re good to go.
Q: What’s the layout like/how does the track time work/is there hot lapping?
A: We run two different layouts throughout the day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon. We don’t have the space for a hot lap layout, so there is a start and finish. Both layouts will be explained in the driver's meetings.
Q: Will there be a tire machine at the track?
A: Yes, there will be 2 tire techs on site.
Q: Can I get a ride a long?
A: You’re more than welcome to ask any of the drivers in the pits for a ride. Most drivers are more than happy to help someone experience their first ride in a drift car. It usually helps get you in the car if you have your own helmet for the ride.
Q: Is there food and drink at the track?
A: Yes, there are multiple food trucks on site. No grills of any kind are allowed in the pits.
Q: Can I bring my dog?
A: Unfortunately no pets will be allowed.
