This is not a “get rich quick” scheme. While most drift events cost upwards of $100 or more, SlideSociety Drifting charges only $20 for the day; to cover the cost of the track. They want to get people off the streets, and let more people experience drifting in the Midwest; an area much forgotten by automotive culture. This is what SlideSociety Drifting is all about.
On the day of a SlideSociety event, drivers show up at 10AM, driving or towing their cars.
The track provides use of a tire mounting machine. So, pickup beds and trunks are filled with used rubber that have been scrounged from junk piles, or cheap take offs from the local tire store.
Most drivers have drifted a few times before, and are perfecting their skills. There are a few veterans who have been doing it for a while, but there are a lot of new drivers who want to learn. The mix between different experience levels produces an excellent learning environment.
