Ian Drennan 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: What an AWESOME experience. I came to Texas Drift Academy through a friend’s recommendation. I race experience in other vehicles but have had zero drift experience. First..wow…talk about being humbled. This was hard but in the BEST way. The coaches were all very patient, kind, and knowledgeable. I learned so much and am definitely coming back for more. Next time 2 days! One of the coolest things is you just get right in to driving. No wasting time just straight in the seat! I did the 3 hour but would have done the full day if I could go back and pick again. It was a great length of time but I shorted myself on progress right as some things were really clicking Huge shoutout to Torin, for the coaching!

Ricky Kenmure 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: One of the best experiences you can get if you’re into imports and drifting. If you get the chance, request Andrew as a coach. He is very patient and will guide you to the best of your capabilities.

Cora W 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: I bought my husband a gift certificate a year ago. He finally booked this experience and added me with us both getting the extra laps at the end. Our instructors - Andrew and Chuck - were fun and a blast. Andrew was mine, and he was friendly and knowledgeable and ensured that I had a great time. The extra laps with him driving at the end were a blast. Definitely want to do it again.

Joe and Rena 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: My husband and I had SO much fun at Texas Drift Academy. We did the Drift Day Duo and really felt we each got some serious quality time drifting. Noah was an amazing instructor and seemed to be having as much fun as we were. He ensured we had a great time and even taught me how to drive the manual car with ease. We highly recommend the experience and Noah as an instructor.

Fantastic experience: We traveled from Bristol VA/TN for a Duo Day for my son and husband and I gotta say it was well worth the trip! Andrew was a great coach from start to finish. I don't think I've ever seen my son as happy and excited as he was that day. It was literally a dream come true for him. I can't thank them enough for making that happen.

Texas Drift Academy

Thank you for sharing that! Bringing you and your son joy brings us joy. Thank you for coming out to spend the day with us.

Nicole Burge 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: My husband and I both did training yesterday, and we had a blast!!! We had terrific instructors who were incredibly patient, friendly and supportive!! We have been to multiple driving courses but first time drifting! What a terrific experience!! Can’t wait to do again!! Thank you Jack and Rey!

Texas Drift Academy

Great to hear you had a blast. Can't ask for better adjectives :-) Drifting is a unique experience that creates a different sense of freedom vs. track driving.

Mike Sharrow 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: We took our staff for a team building offsite at TDA and it was awesome. The coaches were great, the experience was easily adapted to all driving skill/experience levels...we had folks who were skeptical that said it was the most fun they'd ever had doing something like this. We created a couple of addicts who will be back with their families to do it again. I was impressed by the management and team there and how well everything flowed from when we arrived until our wrap up pictures together.

Texas Drift Academy

Thank you Mike! We had a blast with your team. Not sure who had more fun really :-) We welcome you back, your team back, and your families.

Natasha Maciel 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Our company went to Texas Drift Academy for an employee engagement event and it was one of the most enjoyable experiences I have ever had. My instructor Tobias amazing and made learning easy and so much fun! I highly recommend this activity and can't wait to go back!

Texas Drift Academy

Tobias is good people and glad you had a great experience with him! And no need to wait to come back...we're here every weekend! :-)

We loved the day with your group. Thanks for coming out!

Matthew Mast 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Super accommodating and really good at teaching! Andrew was more than willing to accommodate us and teach the class. Would highly recommend for a fun experience

Texas Drift Academy

Thank you Matthew. We try to focus on the 'learning path' which is both physical and cognitive x practice x reinforcement and repetition.

Lori Willinski 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: After a brief hiccup with the reservation, Andrew, my instructor, was amazing. He was a great instructor and an authentic communicator. I enjoyed the experience immensely.

Texas Drift Academy

Glad we got through the hiccup to a great experience! Thanks for the review Lori.

Kris Durham 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: So glad I went to this! Awesome day on the course with Jack...learned a ton and had a blast!

Texas Drift Academy

Jack is a master teacher. Glad you had time with him and had a blast. Thanks for the review Kris!

Scott Olson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My 16 yr old son got 2 days with Jack and our minds are blown. Super friendly and approachable coaches that know how to get someone from zero experience to doing full track drifts with 60-80 mph initiations. I never expected that!!! He got an amazing amount of coaching and drive time. So much so he wound up blowing through 3 sets of tires. Overall, I actually wasn't sure what we were in for when I signed him up, but I have to say it was an amazing experience for the both of us. TDA is the Best! Highly Recommended!!! Thanks Jack!!!! Hopefully be back soon!

Texas Drift Academy

Thank you Scott. We try to focus on max seat time and the learning path/process to build confidence and skills. Fun is had along the way, and from building confidence. Sounds like you have a 16 year old 'ripper'! Well done. We'll slap the roof some more next time he's back.

Kent McEwen 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Had an absolutely unreal time !! Our instructors Jack, Noah and Coy were a bunch of beauty's ! Highly recommend

Texas Drift Academy

They are beautiful aren't they? :-) Thanks for the review Kent.

Brad Terrell 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The one-on-one instruction let me learn quickly with challenges optimized for my abilities, and it was a ton of fun!

Texas Drift Academy

Thanks Brad! Most schools force multiple people per car and/or coach. We designed our courses to have as much seat time and one on one coaching time as possible to accelerate learning, confidence and fun. Glad it was a ton of that!

Landin 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The course was amazing and the instructors did an excellent job at teaching how to do everything correctly and were very friendly.

Texas Drift Academy

Thank you Landin! We focus on the teaching process, curriculum and seat time. Glad to hear the teaching process was effective and friendly. Hope the claps for you echo for a long time.

roy estupinan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great experience! Customer service and instruction was above and beyond from what I expected. Jack and Gavin were extremely patient, accommodating, and professional. It is blatantly obvious that they are both passionate about drifting. This passion reflected on the way they presented themselves and the instruction they gave. They treated us more like friends than customers. Answered all of our questions and provided positive encouragement during challenging times on the course. Definitely glad we did this. Will come back again!

Texas Drift Academy

Thank you roy! Yes... we hire for passion and focus on meeting students where they are to progress their skills and confidence faster than any school. I hope you got some roof claps from your coach and remember what it was like to spin 'in' to your skills.

Mike Iacono 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: What a great experience!!!!! I’ve been into and owned multiple cars at all times for my entire life but never got a chance to learn to drift. I can’t say enough good things about Jack, Chuck, and Toby. Not only were they great instructors but also extremely easy to get along with and very knowledgeable to guide you in the right direction to excel while having fun. I will definitely be back to improve on what I learned. Thanks again for an unforgettable time

Texas Drift Academy

Thank you Mike! Hope you don't forget your experience. But if you start to, we're here every weekend! :-)

Reid Lincoln 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Can not speak high enough about the amazing staff and crew at Texas Drift Academy. Booking more sessions as soon as possible!!!

Texas Drift Academy

Thanks Reid. We're ready for you! We can build a plan for any student on a full progression of drift and car control skills. Ask Jack for that.

Ryan Urukalo 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience. 10/10 and highly recommend. All of the coaches were great, but Jack was particularly awesome. Jack put a high amount of effort into tailoring his instruction on the fly to best fit my needs and goals. Super cool guy too, always cheering you on when you do the stunt right, and constructively correcting you when it’s not perfect. I recommend booking at least the 3 hour course.

Texas Drift Academy

Thanks Ryan. That's great to hear. We really focus on tailoring instruction where a student is at. They can start anywhere. Through curriculum, coaching the right way, and max seat time we can progress students very quickly. I hope you come back because there's a long, epic journey possible in car control, drifting and stunt driving.

Aimee Horta 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: What a fantastic experience! My son had the best time learning to drift...Jack was a great instructor! I highly recommend Texas Drift Academy!

Texas Drift Academy

Thank you Jim. Great to hear you had a great experience at different levels and enthusiastic coaching. Objective met!

Jason Carley 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Josh, Jack and the rest of the coaches were fantastic. The class is all hands on. You are in the cars learning, practicing and moving on to the next skill. Such a great two days I'm hooked. Need start planning a return trip.

Texas Drift Academy

Thanks for the detail in your review Jason. We start teaching where a student is at and aim to progress the skills, confidence and fun in the maximum trajectory! Let us know if you need help planning that trip.

Tyne Brack 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I gifted my husband, Taylor, a 1 hour drift class for his birthday. I was able to purchase a gift card for the amount of a class and later schedule a time that worked for my husband which was incredibly convenient. When we arrived, we met Noah and Jack, who were awesome guys. Taylor was completely new to this world of drifting/driving, but Noah walked him through all the basics. Noah would drive a few laps and then Taylor would then drive. I was surprised at how quickly Taylor picked it up and how much drive time he got. Noah is super great, patient, and knowledgeable. He made a beginner feel confident. Thank you, Texas Drift Academy! We will definitely come back!

Texas Drift Academy

Thank you Tyne. The vast majority of are students are first timers to drifting. Great to hear picked it up naturally. Sounds like he should advance to the next level. We can put together an entire plan for his car control jouney.

Alex M 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I did the 3 hour course. It was amazing. The instructors are fantastic drivers, great coaches, and were patient with me. You can’t miss this. It is so much fun. Thank you to the team for an unforgettable experience.

Texas Drift Academy

Thanks Alex! Love the adjectives to describe our coaches. You know what would be even more unforgettable? 6 hours Pro course! :-) See you then.

bosko shaun 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Texas Drift Academy was an absolutely incredible experience. I worked with Andrew, Jack, and Josh. I had absolutely no prior experience, but they were awsome in helping me to gain confidence. They are super patient, really funny, and generally great people. The cars are unbelievable fun. My 2 days were some of the most fun I have ever had. I can't wait to return!!

Texas Drift Academy

Thanks Bosko for writing a review and sharing your experience for all. Our question now is WHO exactly is really funny?... we have a bet going now.

Roshan Vani 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Enthusiasts of motorsports, take note! The two-day course offers a structured program that caters to both beginners and advanced learners. Beginning with foundational skills and progressing to more advanced techniques, the course provides a comprehensive learning experience. Starting on a wet skid pad, participants gradually transition to the dry course, allowing for a seamless progression in skill development at their own pace based on mastering particular skills. While some (other reviews) may perceive the initial stages as merely navigating through cones in a parking lot, it's crucial to recognize the importance of mastering the wet skid pad before advancing. Trusting the program and allowing oneself to progress at their own pace is key to maximizing the experience. Overall, it's a worthwhile investment for anyone passionate about honing their motorsport skills.

Texas Drift Academy

Awesome review Roshan. Love the first line and the detail. We've designed the course for maximum seat time, coaching and progression. Mind and body work together on wet to get ready to max out the fun on dry. We have many race car drivers come through our course and progress their car control skills. Whether the enthusiast is just starting or driving Ferarri Challges or F1, we love to meet students where they're at and point them up and to the right on car control.

Julie Spaulding 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I had such an amazing time! My husband gifted me the hour class and my instructor, Jack, coached me on everything and then let me go for it. They did everything to make sure everything went smoothly. I then got to ride along on the craziest lap ever. My husband and I hope to return for a longer class in the future.

Texas Drift Academy

Thanks Julie! The craziest? Well... you'll just have to come back to see if we can get crazier. :-) We can turn it to 11.

huyy ngo 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Overdue review! My awesome boss took me out to Texas drift academy for my birthday. I had an awesome time. To me drifting was hard to learn, but after two hours I started to get the hang of it. Shout out to two patient and awesome instructor Jack and Andrew! These guys are just kind natured. Honestly I wouldn’t blame them if they thought I was lame but they were very professional and gave good pointers. These 350z are insane and can take a beating. Thankfully it was a beautiful day. The guys do wet the pavement to help you kinda grasp the drifting concepts. Also you don’t advance into the next lesson until you get good at each lesson they teach you. Which makes perfect sense before you go out to the bigger lot. My favorite is the figure 8 lol. What a blast and an awesome experience! Highly recommend!

Texas Drift Academy

Thank you Huyy. The best part of the review is hearing how our coaches are as people. They have to be kind and good at coaching as much as they are skilled drivers. You make an important point that the wet skill-building is fundamental to taking a maneuver to 4x the speed. We're in the business of skill- and confidence- and fun-building. Not frustration! Glad to hear you had an awesome experience.

Miguel T. 1 year ago

Negative experience: I went for the Drift Pro package. The whole day was spent on a parking lot set up with cones. There was interaction with the instructors, but felt we were left alone after some time. The rest of the day was sent with minimal feedback from the instructors. I asked about practicing to the bigger course with higher speed sections, but were denied. Were told the tarmac could damage their car. I feel the academy curriculum and structure needs a major revamp. $1950 to be spent a parking lot with cones felt like loss to me. Would not recommend. I really wish they improve become successful. Until them, would look elsewhere, such the AMG drifting academy.

Texas Drift Academy

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We truly regret that your day did not meet the expectations set for our Drift Pro package. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve our courses and the overall customer experience. We've attempted to reach out to the only Miguel T registered in our records from that period but have not yet received a response. We'd like to confirm this is a former student from over a year ago. If so, we want to assure you that since your visit over a year ago, we've made several improvements to our curriculum, including updates to ensure that all Pro students have the opportunity to progress to more advanced tracks as part of their training. We are sorry to hear that this was not part of your experience at the time. We would greatly appreciate the opportunity to discuss your feedback in more detail. Please contact us so we can better address your concerns. Our goal is to ensure every student leaves our course feeling satisfied and empowered. We are committed to continual improvement and hope to have the opportunity to demonstrate this to you.

C S78 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: We purchased the duo track day and had an awesome time. Our instructor Charlie was a great instructor and gave us a ton of time behind the wheel. We are already planning another trip, we couldn’t recommend this enough to anyone who wants a driving experience.

Texas Drift Academy

Thanks! Did Charlie give you his infamous drifting 'dance' coaching technique. It may be patent pending :-)

Jorge Chan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best experience EVER! The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and super talented. It’s learning at your own pace but with amazing feedback every step of the way. We were drifting in no time and the end was the cherry on top. CAUTION! You will have way too much fun. You will definitely have a smile from ear to ear. And you’ll definitely want to come back for more.

Texas Drift Academy

Let me just repeat that: "best experience EVER!" And best review ever! Thank you. We love the joy.

Cody 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Rad dudes teaching you to do rad things.

Texas Drift Academy

Thanks Cody. I think every coach now is just going to grab your label and own they are "rad". Me too :-) Off to do some more rad things now...

David Wong 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been wanting to do a drifting course with my two sons since they were little - and it was everything I had hoped it would be. Jack and Andrew were amazing instructors - perfect balance of fun and patient

Texas Drift Academy

Thanks David. Fun X Patient. There's a formula here that we strive for... progress as fast as fun is possible.

Chris Sharpe 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: What an awesome experience and great instructors for the beginners level course. Highly recommended!

George Ruiz 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Had a great time this weekend at Texas Drift Academy. I had the pleasure of having Jeff as my coach and he was very informative and relaxed as he walked me through the steps to drifting. He also took me on a lap at the end of the course and he’s an amazing driver it was unbelievable. Check Texas Drift Academy out and you will wish you had done it much sooner.

Texas Drift Academy

Thanks George! You had Jeff... that's great. He's super experienced and our main fleet manager and mechanic. He started our whole custom drift car build program, having had built Josh's FD car and many race cars over the years. He's good in many ways. Glad you had a great weekend. We're here next weekend, and the one after, and so on!

Til Alpenstutz 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have rarely had so much fun as when I was able to drift with Jack (Drift Pro Package). He is a brilliant instructor, explains what he is doing and how he is doing it very clearly and demonstrates it very well. He showed a lot of confidence in me when I was behind the steering wheel and it really felt like one of your best buddies was teaching you to how to drift. Lunch, snacks and plenty of drinks were also provided. I can only recommend it to everyone. I wasn't sure if it was worth the almost $2,000, but I can now say with absolute certainty that it is. I will certainly come back in the future. Thanks again to Jack and the Texas Drift Academy, it was a really great day that I was able to experience. And btw: Jack is not only an exceptional instructor, but also a brilliant cameraman.

Texas Drift Academy

Thanks Til! Super review with details. Love your absolute certainty. It's not a cheap endeavor, but we try to put it all into it maximizing seat time, one on one coaching and cars that help you progress quickly and have the best time possible!

Dave Williams 1 year ago

Scott Anderson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great place, great time!! Took our son to drift, his instructor was Jack and he was great, amazing what you can learn with a few hours of good instruction. Had a blast and I highly recommend!

Texas Drift Academy

Thanks Scott! Hope you and your son come back again. Maybe you'll do an Advanced or Pro Duo and share a car and the experience!?

Buddy Yount 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I did the 1hour "intro to drift skills" course as an initial experience. My hobby is road-racing sports cars, so drifting was new and very different. The guys did a great job teaching me to overcome my muscle-memory instincts (keeping a car rotating smoothly through high speed sweeping corners), kick the tail out and had me drifting around the wet practice area in no time. Not to mention plus donuts :- ) I had a blast, and the coaches were fantastic.

Texas Drift Academy

Thanks Buddy! We love to have road racers out to learn car control and oversteer instincts. We've had Porsche Cup, Ferrari Challenge, and even F1 drivers come out. There's always something to learn. That's the fun I guess, right?

Michelle Finlay 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: What an awesome experience and so much fun!! We bought the Drift Day Duo with Jack (Ray & Gavin) as our instructors. These guys made the experience an unforgettable day. They really were excellent. Very knowledgeable & patient. Jack explained the technique really well & gave us heaps of drive time. Would thoroughly recommend this - well worth the money!

Texas Drift Academy

Thanks Michelle! Unforgettable. Patient. Drive Time. All fantastic descriptions that we love to hear.

Hydro Cronus 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Something I won't forget any time soon. Adrenaline flowing experience for sure! Jack was very patient and a great teacher. The only caveat for me is that its a little far from where I stay but it was worth it. Highly recommend the drift advanced course as a gift to yourself if your a car enthusiast of any level. I was celebrating for my birthday

Armando Olvera 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend the Texas Drift Academy for company, friends, or family outings. The instructors, especially Jordan, are exceptional. Jordan's extensive knowledge of drift techniques and impressive driving skills made the experience absolutely fantastic!

Emily Andreozzi 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Did the 6 hour course with a couple hot laps. Jordan was my instructor and she did such an amazing job at helping me understand what to do and how to correct myself when I messed up. Jake and Charlie were also instructing other drivers and were a ton of help. Had an absolute amazing time learning and driving, 10/10 would recommend and will most likely do it again

Tyler Smith 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: For my wife’s birthday we decided to check something off of her bucket list and learning to drift was very high on it. She was fortunate to have Jack as an instructor who was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and supportive. He was able to teach a lot skill in only 1 hour and celebrated every little victory in the car along with her. His enthusiasm really went a long way. We’d love to come back for another lesson someday and hopefully have Jack teach again. Cannot recommend Texas Drift Academy enough! Thanks again!

Lisa Kopecky 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: As a motorsports fanatic, as soon as I discovered Texas Drift Academy, I signed up for the 3 hour session almost immediately. And now that I've completed the session, I can attest it did not disappoint! No matter how much track or driving seat time you have, drifting is a whole new experience and delivers loads of fun. Jordan and Charlie were great coaches and I walked away with a whole new skillset and a smile that lasted for days. Needless to say, I'm hooked and will be back soon with the family for the full day session. I highly recommend this for anyone and everyone looking to have a blast. And never pass up on a hot lap with these talented driving coaches. A huge thanks to the TDA crew for locating this academy in South Texas!

Briana Moreno 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of attending a 2-day drift class, and I must say it was an absolute blast! As someone with an interest in cars and a desire to delve deeper into the world of automotive excitement, this course served as the perfect entry point for a beginner like me. One of the standout aspects of the experience was how well the three coaches, Jordan, Jack, and Josh, catered to various skill levels. Whether you were a complete novice or had some prior knowledge, they made sure everyone felt comfortable and confident throughout the entire journey. The learning environment was not only educational but also incredibly enjoyable. We had some good conversations along the way, exchanging tips and stories about our passion for cars. It felt like a community of like-minded individuals coming together to share their love for drifting. I have my work ahead of me as I continue my learning journey after completing the course. One thing I particularly valued was the guidance they provided on potential modifications I can make to my 370z at home. It truly highlights their dedication to ensuring that I didn't just have a great time during the class but also left with the tools and knowledge needed to continue honing my skills independently. In summary, the 2-day drift class with Jordan, Jack, and Josh was a fun and fulfilling experience that left me excited to continue my journey into the world of cars and drifting. Additionally, I'd like to extend my gratitude to Alex for diligently capturing all the footage from the classes. It's the perfect finishing touch to this wonderful experience. If you're looking for a great introduction to this exhilarating hobby, I highly recommend giving this class a try!

Fantastic experience: I did the 2 day advanced course with no drifting experience. There are not any words to truly describe how fantastic this course was but I'll try. It was amazing to say the least. This is a real deal experience where you will get as much as you can handle. At first it was overwhelming but with the great instruction provided you really start to develop the skills needed to drift. I will be back to do this again no doubt. If you are on the fence dont be it is an experience of a lifetime. If you are thinking of going for just a couple hours you are going to want more.

Fantastic experience: We did the two day drift school and had the most amazing time. I've never done any driving experiences and I learned so much. Josh, Jack and Jordan were amazing teachers and so much fun. In just two days I was doing figure eights and drifting a full track. 100% will be back again.

Fantastic experience: Father and son weekend with 4 hours at Texas Drift Academy to get us started right! This was so fun and I have a new appreciation for the stunts and cars that I see on movies and shows. We learned a ton about how to drift including my absolute favorite, drifting into a parking spot (cones). Incredible experience, great instructor cadre, tricked out cars, made for a great time.

Fantastic experience: Our father-son weekend became an unforgettable adventure, thanks to the Texas Drift Academy. Four of us - two fathers and our two 19-year-old sons - embarked on a half-day session that exceeded all expectations. It was an experience we'll cherish forever! From the get-go, the Texas Drift Academy team impressed us with their professionalism and passion. Having our own cars and private instructors added a personalized touch to the entire experience. It was apparent that they were committed to ensuring we had the best time possible. The session was an exhilarating blend of excitement and education. We were taken through a comprehensive process that covered everything from mastering the art of drifting around turns to perfecting donuts and figure eights. Who would have thought we'd learn to drift into a parallel parking position? It was a thrilling challenge that had us on the edge of our seats. By the end of the session, we were all grinning from ear to ear, filled with a sense of accomplishment and newfound skills. The instructors were patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive, making us feel comfortable as we pushed our limits. The highlight was undoubtedly the father-son bonding that unfolded amidst the adrenaline-pumping action. Sharing the track, honing our skills, and cheering each other on created an unbreakable bond that will forever be etched in our memories. Texas Drift Academy truly delivered an extraordinary father-son experience that surpassed our wildest dreams. We wholeheartedly recommend this academy to anyone seeking an adrenaline-fueled adventure combined with meaningful bonding time. Thank you, Texas Drift Academy, for making our weekend an absolute blast!

Positive experience: Bought an hour lesson for my husband for his birthday! He loved it! Wish the set up for the folks who come to watch was a bit more comfy (it was really hot), but overall, he had a blast!

Fantastic experience: It is simply impossible to describe how amazing TX Drift Academy is. Josh Robinson and his team provide incredible instruction and the amount of reps you get on the car is 10x what you’d get at an AMG drift school. You will learn more in one day here than anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: Had a great time taking the 3 hour advanced course! I was able to get Tim as my instructor, and had a blast going through all of the exercises and learning how to initiate a drift, do circles, transition, and ended with some hot laps in the passenger seat. Both instructors present were very personable and took the time to answer my questions and made sure I got as much seat time as possible. At no point did I feel rushed, or judged, or anything that made me feel less than comfortable, and if fact Tim was very encouraging of me to push the car harder and offered tips every lap that had me nailing the exercises in no time. They provided waters and sandwiches/salads for a quick food break also. After learning exactly what goes into making a drift car, and the general expenses on track, the price of the course makes the seat time well worth it money wise! If you are debating on this course, don't, just go for it!

Fantastic experience: WOWZERS! Absolutely the best experience. Bought this for my fiancé for a surprise Valentine’s Day. He was floored. The teachers are patient/experienced & supportive. Highly recommend. Take a chance - do something different!! I did 1 drifting lap - mind blowing/amazing.

Positive experience: We had a blast! It is certainly an expensive outing, but it was a fantastic bonding experience for me and my two boys. The instructors were top notch and super patient - particularly with my two kids who had never before driven a stick shift. The reason I give it four stars rather than five was seeing how the instructors worried about watching the clock down to the second like they would turn into pumpkins if we went one minute over. I could understand that more if were just there for an hour, but after spending $$$$ for a full day experience it left a little bit of a bad taste in my mouth. Otherwise, they were fantastic and it was tons of fun.

Fantastic experience: This is a must do if you feel that inner desire to just light up tires and scream around in a car. You’ll actually learn some important lessons in car control and countersteering too! Bravo.
