General FAQ

• Is it free to spectate?
• No, spectators are charged $20 at the gate.
• Can I park wherever I want?
• No. Drivers will be directed to a spot in the pits after you are admitted at the gate. Spectators must park in the designated spectator lot outside of the gate.
• Since you’re called Drift Indy, are all your events held in Indiana?
• Nope! Over the years we have hosted events across the midwest. Currently the majority of our events are held at Kil-kare Raceway in Xenia, Ohio.

Drivers’ FAQ

• How do I register for events?
• Keep an eye on our social media accounts for event registration announcements. We announce the drop time a few days ahead. The applications are found on our website.
• What do I need to know before my first Drift Indy event?
• Ahead of your first event as a driver, please thoroughly read through our rulebook. It includes safety requirements, such as a mounted fire extinguisher within reach of the driver seat, working brake lights and an SA2015 or SA2020 helmet.
• Where’s the rulebook?
• Both our general Drift Indy rulebook and our Drift Indy Street League rulebook can be found at https://driftindy.com/pages/rulebooks
• Can I have a passenger?
• We do allow one passenger per car so long as the passenger is over 18 years of age and is wearing a qualifying helmet.
• Can I bang doors with my boys?
• We divide drivers into groups based on skill level and experience. Within those groups, there’s plenty of opportunity for tandems and trains, especially at our bash events. 
• Can I drive whatever car I want?
• Provided the car meets our tech requirements, you can slide it. A rear-wheel drive car with a welded or limited-slip differential is pretty essential, though.
• Can someone change tires at the track?
• At most of our events we provide tire-changing services for a small fee.
