DRIFTING


Three days of fun-filled drifting is back! Whether you are a driver, a fan, or both, here's your chance to get right in the middle of all the action at one of the biggest drift events on the East Coast. This year's event will feature our usual drifting bash, drifting ridealongs, and drift games. But who knows, we might add something else to add to the action between now and the event, so stay tuned!

There will be approximately 75 spots available at this year’s event sold on a “first come, first serve” basis. This year’s event sold out in less than 15 minutes, so we will have a wait list option available shortly for people to sign up. Should a spot become available, we will automatically process the order starting with the first person on the wait list in order of signup date and time and then subsequently down the list in order should more spots become available. To maximize track time for everyone, there will be room for ~50 Group A and ~25 Group B drivers.


DRIVER GROUPS

‘GROUP A’ is designed for drivers that exhibit great car control. They can complete the course without any issues, are generally looking to improve minor areas of their skill set, and are comfortable running tandem with other drivers. In addition to their skill level, ‘GROUP A’ drivers must also have the required additional safety equipment in their vehicle; this includes, but is not limited to an approved 6-point roll cage, seat, helmet, and harness. An approved race suit and gloves are highly recommended.

 ‘GROUP B’ is designed for drivers that have a general understanding of car control. They can complete the course with minimal issues; such as minor straightening, running off the desired line, and occasionally going off course. Drivers that exhibit ‘GROUP A’ skills, but may lack the required safety equipment to run tandem would also be designated to ‘GROUP B’. 

While we would love for everyone to be able to participate in this event, due to the nature of this event and the technical aspects and speed of the Patriot Course, it is recommended that novice drivers refrain from participating. USDrift has plenty of other drift events throughout the year that you may attend.


TECH INSPECTION

All vehicles must pass a basic technical inspection prior to being allowed on track. The technical inspection form for this event can be found here.

’Group A’ drivers will need to have an approved roll cage, seat, helmet, and harness. We recommend following the roll cage requirements set forth in
Formula DRIFT to ensure you have no issues with attending majority of drift events around the country. If you still have any questions regarding tech, please email Ben Portyrata at ben[at]usdrift.com.


FORMAT

We will be running on the 12-turn, 1.1-Mile Patriot Course clockwise and alternating between A and B run groups. Drivers will be paddocked in the Patriot Paddock and nearby areas for overflow.

We will have a tire changer onsite in the Patriot Paddock for all three days.

NOTE: Drift entry includes two (2) 3-Day GA tickets (one for driver and one for a crew member). Camping is included with your entry and you may camp at your paddock space.
