Lock City Drift

Performance / Racing

Lock City Drift is a grassroots drift organization that has been hosting the best drift events in New England for over 10 years. We are proud of the community we have built over the last decade and are proud to have one of the longest legacies of drifting in the North East. A typical Lock City drift event has everything drivers and spectators need for an action packed day of tire smoke and sideways cars. Drivers are broken up into three different skill level groups, A, B and C groups, each group of drivers has a number of different track layouts to choose from throughout the day. General admission tickets can be purchased at the gate and spectators are welcome to park in the gravel lot or along the fence by Clubhouse Circuit. All general admission ticket holders are encouraged to walk over the bridge and check out their favorite cars and drivers in the paddock, stop by one of the food trucks or purchase some exclusive merch from the Lock City merch booth! The Clubhouse Circuit was implemented in 2019 specifically for drifting at Thompson Speedway. A group drivers run this layout clockwise, taking two laps before exiting back onto the road course. B group drivers will run counter clockwise for one lap, shutting down on the straightaway before the exit onto the road course.
