Lock City Drift

Lock City Drift runs grassroots drift events and instruction at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park in Thompson, CT. Events combine open sessions, multi-layout track runs, and spectator access to paddock and food vendors.

They offer group clinics, private 1:1 lessons, and rental drift cars (Nissan 350Z/Infiniti G35) for students, plus published tech and safety requirements for drivers.

A day of on-track drifting tailored to drivers and fans, with staggered run groups and multiple track layouts.

Look out for:

• Separate A/B/C driver groups and run sessions across the Clubhouse Circuit, skid pad, road course, oval, and back section.

• Drift lessons and 10-person clinics plus private 1:1 instruction for focused skill-building.

• Rental drift cars available for students who don’t bring a drift-capable vehicle.

• Spectator general-admission at the gate with paddock access, food, and merch.
