Firebird Motorsports Park in Chandler is inviting racers and families to participate in its Drift & Drags event on Saturday, June 22.
A thrilling raceway experience, Drift & Drags offers an opportunity for participants to either bring their own vehicles to drift/drag or be viewers of the event.
Gates open at 5:30 p.m. tonight and the track will be hot from 7 p.m. to midnight at the Firebird Motorsports Park in Chandler, located at 20000 S. Maricopa Road.
“This is a unique opportunity for motorsport lovers to connect with other car enthusiasts,” said Casey Buckman, track manager for Firebird Motorsports Park. “We’ve got a great selection of food and drink vendors; we’re really excited to see everyone come out with their families.”
Drift & Drags offers opportunities for everyone, from spectators to drifters and drag racers. Drivers are encouraged to bring their car or truck to test their skills by drifting in a safe and professional environment in the lower pits, while the dedicated 1/4-mile NHRA drag strip will allow drag racers to test their speed on the same fully-prepped track that racing legends like John Force and Tony Stewart have competed on.
