Drift Dojo is proud to announce that we will be participating in the Midwest Drift League along side a collection of other tracks in the midwest.
Each track will host their own series utilizing as they see fit. The qualifiers from each track will meet to compete at an event in March yet to be announced.
The dates for drift Dojo are as follows:
22NOV
06DEC
03JAN
17JAN
31JAN
21FEB
Drivers will pay $20 track fee as normal for each event date, but will require a 1 time fee for tires (see below).

All drivers who attend at least 4 events are invited to the finals. The first place finisher of the Drift Dojo series will win a cash prize of $100. Your score will accumulate over each of the 6 events with your worst 2 event scorings dropped. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers at each event will receive 4, 2, 1 points towards their total respectively. If there is a tie for the final event then sudden death matches will be conducted.
Drivers will buy a new set of tires for their first event. This will be $20 one time charge. These tires will be checked back in / out for each event. this will ensure that all competitors remain on similar tire wear levels. No burn tunes as this set of tires is expected to last for the duration of all 6 rounds.
Competitors will have to abide by 2025 SDC tech inspection and judging guidelines. Each run will be judged in forum format consisting of all competitors. You are expected to be paying attention and judging your competitor runs.
Competition format will be Round Robin. This will allow all drivers to drive for the duration of the day regardless of their win/loss record. This is intended to keep all drivers involved with the opportunity to drive multiple matches regardless of skill level.
The downside of this format is that its slower than a single elimination bracket. Please show up ready to drive and stick to the schedule. The more everyone cooperates the more driving you get.
Tentative event schedule is as follows.
10am-1pm. Registration, tech, open driving.
1pm-1:30pm Drivers meeting / questions
2pm - 9? Competition. Variable based on attendance.
