...is right around the corner!

December 19/20 Saturday & Sunday, ThunderDrift will be holding a fulltrack drift event at Thunderhill Raceway!

This year's event WILL feature a Sunday-Comp as usual, but it'll be in a very unique and new format.

BOTH DAYS WILL BE RUN IN OPEN-TRACK FORMAT! This means standard TD classifications. Beginner Drift, Expert Drift, and Grip.


HERE'S HOW THE COMP'S GOING TO WORK... (read this, it's gonna blow your mind)

Sunday's comp will be like no other drift event you've ever been to. Drivers will make FULL LAPS of the track. No sitting in line waiting to be judged individually on 2-3 specific corners. EXPERT DRIFT will be the competiton session, and the beginner drift/grip sessions will be held as normal. for 3 of the 5 expert group sessions, we will place judges in a different corner of the track. Drivers will lap the track like they would normally, but with special focus on the judged corners. Judging will NOT be in the standard number-based points layout, it'll be awards based. This means, come day's end there'll be no 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, just awesome awards like "best e-brake entry" "fastest drift" etc.

sounds pretty cool huh? it WILL BE!

you know what else will be really cool? DRIFTER SECRET SANTA!!!

Here are the details on the secret santa deal...
