More than a series

We don't just run
events. We build a
community.

Catch My Drift started the way every good thing in this sport starts — a handful of drivers who wanted somewhere to slide, learn, and hang out without the ego. It grew into a full competition series that still feels like a paddock full of friends.

From your very first tandem to the top-32 bracket on finals day, CMD is where new drivers get coached, veterans get pushed, and spectators get close enough to feel the tire smoke. Every car passes tech. Every driver gets respect. Everybody catches the drift.

The weekend

One ticket. A whole
lot of sideways.

A CMD round is a three-day festival of car culture. Here's what's waiting on the other side of the gate.

$40K Competition

Knockout qualifying Formula Drift-style, then a top-32 tandem bracket battling for a $40,000 season purse and championship points.

Ride-Alongs

Strap in next to a pro and find out what a proper clutch-kick feels like. The best seat in the house is the passenger seat.

Static Struggle Show

The Static Struggle car show puts the cleanest builds in the paddock on display — vote, gawk, and get inspired for your own project.

Open Drift & Tandem

Sunday is yours. Open track sessions and tandem practice — bring your car, air down, and get seat time all day long.

Vendors & Food

Trackside vendors, parts, merch and food trucks all weekend. Fuel up, stock up, and support the shops that support the sport.

Family Friendly

Kids 12 & under get in free. Bring the whole crew — CMD is a welcoming paddock, not a members-only club.
