2020 USDrift Shoot-Out!
Marking the third year since its inception, the 2020 USDrift Shoot-out will continue the trend of heading further North and be returning with a later date than the previous two Shoot-out events. This year’s event will take place Friday, September 4th and Saturday, September 5th on the Washington Circuit at Summit Point Motorsports Park in Summit Point, WV.
New Partnership and Driver Support Program with OG-Racing
We’re pleased to announce our partnership with OG-Racing for the 2020 season with their Driver Support Program for all USDrift participants.
2020 has brought about a lot of changes to safety requirements from basic drift day events all the way up to Formula DRIFT PRO/AM series events. Whatever type of drift events you participate in, OG-Racing can help keep you safe and has agreed to help out USDrift participants this season with their incredible Driver Support Program.

Drive For Free at Our Next Event
Everyone likes FREE right? Well if you have a set of Stage Wheels you can sign up for our next event at Virginia Motorsports Park just outside of Richmond, VA on Saturday, February 29th, drive all day (on your Stage Wheels ), and then get your entry fee refunded after the event. It’s that easy. If you don’t have Stage Wheels, there’s still plenty of time to order some and have them hand deliver them to you at the event. Don't forget we have a Driver Support Program in place with them as well.
