Drift Weekend in Wisconsin

A similar concept to Drift Week and Drag Week, but this time everything is in Wisconsin! The event will feature the tracks at Great Lakes Dragaway, Jefferson Speedway, and US Air. Similar to Drift Week/Drag Week, you'll drive your car to each track, while tires and parts will be hauled in an enclosed trailer between tracks. Camping at the tracks and/or hotels is TBD. Tire changing will be available at the tracks. Dates are 5/30/2024 - 6/2/2024. 

​

This will be an application only event with a small driver count of 20-25. We have applications for both drivers and media. This will help gauge interest and make sure that we'll have enough space for all who want to attend.
