Drift Exhibition

Southwest Speed Fest is proud to announce that there will be drift sessions available during the event! As part of the larger festivities, drifting will be on display during the evening hours and allow spectators to see and experience high speed road course style drifting on Arizona’s freshest piece of motorsport pavement!

If you attended SWSF 2026, you'll remember the back section was opened up for drifting Sunday.  This will be occurring again this year, so get ready to enjoy the whole track!

This is a rare opportunity and we will have strict rules around on-track/off-track behavior. We understand the nature of drifting and that cars can drop a tire off the edge of the track. This is brand new specially formulated asphalt and there is a lot of sensitivity around damaging it. If you are about to go off-track, straighten out and get off the throttle. There is no glory in dirt dropping, burnouts, or harming the track. The only reward will be getting kicked out. We are in their home, treat it with respect and we will get invited back.
