DRIFTWEST DRIFT PRACTICE

Our DriftWest Practice Nights / Days give you a great opportunity to have fun drifting in a welcome and safe environment. Both the skidpan and circuit are open. The skidpan is perfect for amateur drifters and those who would like to take passengers, and the circuit is suited to the more experienced drifter to slide at speed. We also hold Jack’s Hill days for those looking to mix it up.

Everyone is welcome, but if you are a member of the WASCC you can enter drift practices for just $110 (Non-Member rate $200). No prior booking required, register at the Race Administration Office on the day.

Members are also able to purchase Drift Practice packs which include entry to all 7 practice events. For further information – click here.

Spectators are only $10 per car. Please note, as CARCO.com.au Raceway is a licenced venue BYO alcohol is not permitted.
