May Drifting the Plains Winners

The competitors stuck it out for a rainy, wet weekend and pulled off some fantastic drifting. Despite the water on the track there were minimal incidents, and the freshly painted walls are still intact…for now. Big thanks to our title sponsor KBD Body Kits.

May Drifting Events

The snow has melted. The puddles are drying. Slam some fuel in the tank and take the battery off the charger. We have drifting to open!

Drift 101/102 (May 6-7)

Want to learn how to drift but don’t want to get arrested for doing donuts at Menards? We host classes where you can learn car control and how to drift safely in a controlled environment with instructors. The May session is sold out and we look forward to seeing new faces on the track. Our next class weekend is in June, so keep an eye out for when registration goes live.

Drifting the Plains #1 (May 12-14)

Driver Registration: https://events.eventzilla.net/e/drifting-the-plains-1-dtp-1-2138591855

Knock off the rust and get back into the swing of things at our first Drifting the Plains event of the year. We’ll have open track practice all weekend for all skill levels. On Saturday is the first session of the Fargo Drifting Points Series tandem competition. We’re also hosting a new Limited Series competition aimed at newer drifters with less-modified vehicles. Driver passes are nearly sold out, but we have a few Sunday-only passes left.

2023 Drag Racing

In early February, we started searching for a group to handle managing and running the drag racing side of the facility. While we were unable to find a group ready to take over in time for this season, we are continuing our conversations with individuals and organizations that have expressed interest in taking over drag strip operations. Like us, they are trying to find and organize the resources it takes to run a race weekend. It takes a healthy amount of staffing, time, and organization behind the scenes to put on drag racing events. The company that owns Interstate Raceway has other businesses to maintain, and there’s only so much energy to go around without being spread too thin or reaching burnout. And this isn’t the fun, tire roasting kind of burnout.

What’s Next?

Fear not: The drag strip is not shutting down permanently. We’re looking into more management options for next year. While we’re unable to host a full season this year, a group of local racers is managing a no-prep race on August 26th featuring heads-up classes as well as 7.50 & 6.50 index classes. Check it out at Going UnGlued on Facebook.

To our supporters, we appreciate you immensely. It’s wonderful to hear everyone’s pre-season excitement and shared memories at the drag strip. We’re excited to see what the new organizers have in store for future seasons and to welcome everyone back on a strong note.

Thank you for understanding.
