Bay Area Drifting

Bay Area Drifting runs structured, track‑based drifting and car‑control programs at Thunderhill Raceway Park near Willows, CA. Classes cover fundamentals through advanced techniques with experienced instructors and a focus on safety.

Programs include public weekend schools, private weekday sessions, and corporate events; instruction emphasizes small instructor‑to‑student ratios, on‑track practice in a controlled environment, and stepwise skill progression.

A hands‑on day (or two) of progressive drifting instruction using Thunderhill Raceway's runoff areas and track space.

Look out for:

• Small instructor-to-student ratios and one-on-one coaching during on-track sessions.

• Clear progression from basics (car control, weight transfer) to advanced entries and linking corners.

• Use of sanctioned track space and safety briefings before driving.

• Options for public weekend classes, private sessions, or corporate/team events.

Best way to experience it:

Arrive prepared with a vehicle that meets the school's requirements or confirm availability of school cars; follow pre-course briefings, start with beginner-focused sessions if new to drifting, and plan for a full day of alternating classroom and on-track practice.
