**You asked for it, you got it.**

We struck a deal with Kawartha Speedway, located just past Mosport to run a FREE Drifting practice and an Autocross grip course all for $0. Parking is also free but why would you want to park it, when all you have to do is pass tech and have a valid license to get on track!

- Sharpen your drifting skills
- Grip or Slip on the AutoX course
- Practice the basics on the figure-8 setup
- Show of your ride on the infield to the crowds
- Test and tune with plenty of room in the pits
- Chill out, hit the Casino or just relax in the licensed bar
- Watch the mayhem from the enclosed grandstands or restaurant

Off the momentum of the House of Drift demo we ran last September, many of you wanted to participate, not watch from the sidelines. Since the owner of the track knows money is tight, he offered the whole track to: drive, hang or just enjoy the rest of what this first class facility has to offer.

Why not bring the Jetta 🙂 There is a AutoX pylon course setup from FWD and AWD too!

The owner’s premise is just to create an environment where you could practice and just hang out away from al of the negative press against, street racing, modified cars and drifting.

The track can hold 5000 and on May 25 is open test day should attract around 1500, after 8pm its totally free and there is no reason to leave since you can gamble 24h there.

Yes still getting some of the promo items setup since the ink on the contract is still wet 🙂

Website is done just needs DNS names to spread around the world, so it should come online tonight.

Operating times are tech-in between 6:30-7:30, then 30 minutes to line up and receive further heads-up on track usage. By 8pm track is cleared and ready to drive, noise restriction is until 11 but these cars will likely be less db than thundering stock cars so it can go on later.

But as I hinted, the facility is open all night.

I just received word the propsal for tandem drifting practice was approved so it’s two up if you want.
