Drifting
Rules
Welcome back! The Drift Session
rules and regulations are being posted once again for their
intended purpose: helping new drivers get used to the Drift
Session format. If your drifting organization wishes to use
these rules and regulations for your own events, please
remember to credit the Drift Session and its drivers for
helping to bring these guidelines to life. For
more information on Drift Session rules, regulations, and
scoring, please be sure to visit an official Drift Session
event.

drivers may share vehicles amongst other registered drivers,
but may not allow non-registered persons to drive.

that covers the shoulders (no tank tops), and a racing helmet.
Racing suits are strongly encouraged. Helmets must remain on
and strapped as long as your vehicle in on the track.
Passengers

General
Track Safety

Road Speed is 10 mph in all areas of the track, unless you are
an active driver on the track.

With the exception of the center road and parking area, all
drivers must follow a counter clockwise direction on the track
(unless the track is reversed for the day).
3.
Vehicles must not leave the roadway during a drift run.
4.
If your vehicle leaves the road (during a drift run) reduce
speed immediately and return to the road at low speed, so you
do not kick up dirt and rocks (onto the road or into your
car's paint).

All drivers and passengers must be wearing safety restraints
while proceeding on a drift run.
6.
Drivers must wait in a single file line (in their vehicles) in
the staging lanes prior to entering a course.

refuse track use to any vehicle deemed unsafe for
participation.
