Every year we host the two biggest payout events at Interstate Raceway with our tandem drifting competitions.
If you want to shoot photo or video of these events at the best spots on the track infield, watch for our announcement when media applications open a month before the event.

Sponsored by SRD Auto Repair.

$5,000 Grassroots Shootout
The Grassroots Shootout is for non-professional drivers to compete for a huge check.

Everyone wants to show off and take a shot at the cash prize, and sponsors often throw in additional prizes to sweeten the pot.
