DISL Round 2 Preview: DISL Heads to USAir

DISL Round 2 Preview: DISL Heads to USAir

We’re headed to USAir Raceway in Shawano, WI for Drift Indy Street League Round 2 this week. 

The event marks the second time DISL has hit the road, with last season’s Volume 10 down in Corbin, KY being the first. We’ve worked with the crew at USAir to compose a kick-ass, never-before-seen competition course. Like all the layouts we’ve run, it’s designed to be both technical and exciting to watch.

In a sea of S-chassis, 350Zs and BMWs, it can be tricky for a car to really stand out at drift events. You can stand out with your driving, or by whipping a less-common chassis, or by styling said chassis really damn well. Some folks manage to do all three, including 2023’s Drift Indy Most Stylish award winner Coy Pendleton and his Toyota Cressida MX83.

DISL Round 1 Recap

DISL Round 1 Recap

There’s no shortage of analogies to describe what went down at Drift Indy Street League Round 1 this weekend. We shook the etch-a-sketch. We poked the reset button with a mechanical pencil. We deleted our My Player. We prestiged.

Whatever. The point is, it’s a new era for DISL, and the new look is rad as hell.

The time is nearly upon us, folks. We’re just a few days away from the dawn of the next iteration of Drift Indy Street League.

After an initial run of 10 volumes that spanned three seasons and saw over 100 total drivers vie for the podium, we’re wiping the scoreboard clean and starting fresh with a three-round series, all to be held in 2024.

14-year-old Jake Clark joined us for Drift Indy Street League Volume 9 at Kil-kare and, while he came just short of making it through prelims on a soaked and slippery track, he was a ton of fun to watch during practice.

DISL Volume 8: Event Recap

I think part of what makes DISL such a great event for both spectators and drivers is that it's a distillation of what drifting has long been about. There's fewer distractions than in pro drifting or big money comps. The barrier to entry is lower, but still high enough to make sure everyone is held to a high standard of skill and style.
