Thumbs up States with the most drift events?

Most tracks/events?

Live in MN right now and well...it blows here. Looking to move somewhere warmer for college. Really want to get into drifting, though too. What states have the biggest drift scenes? There are about 1-2 events a year here.

California, Texas, Northeastern states, and central Florida (CFRC has events regularly).

Thanks to Club Loose the Northeast has a ton of great events, but we're a bit limited by the weather during the year.

I just laughed HARD that someone would choose their college destination based on the number of drift events available.

Cali has tons of events but the most strict emissions. So either stock motor or get a trailer.

Drifting is a endless money pit no matter where op lives. He asked a simple question, so we answer. He didn't ask for life advice, he has parents for that kind of stuff...

How many events have you even attended in Minnesota? I wouldn't say the drift seen blows here. You just need to be willing to travel. Also basing your college off of where you can get the most drifting is is dumb as shit.

Not if you choose cali. We have many great colleges and university and we have plenty of drift events with Sonoma raceway having drift events every Wednesday not to mention the countless events in Socal. You really cant loose if you decide to move to cali with the only exception being the strict emission standards we have here.

Base you college education choice off the education you wish to receive not the hobby you wish to get into.

Socal but you gotta worry bout the pigs being anal,hater tryna steal your car,all my buddies have Sr20 240sx cuz lord knows if we gotta scramble from some cops you ain't got a chance in a ka. Cali would be cool there are tons of shop,tracks, and you'd like it here. Texas ain't to bad either. Florida is super chill on the emissions,that's why I'm moving back to Florida very soon

Just move to St. Louis, we have like 10 events per year and many events only a few hours away. You can go to the dirt cheap community college and get a degree in being dirt so you will be well prepared for your future dirt life with no money and dirt cars.

northern california. events all year around. sonoma raceway has weekly events, and thunder hill/stockton 99 have 1-2 events a month. if you live in sacramento like i do, that's three tracks within an hour. button willow and willow springs are 5-6 hours down the i5 which is nice too.

This guy is wasting his money and talents trying to go to college. He should focus on the main priority, drifting.

Drifting draws attention away from my college work, and my grades suffer as a result. Theres no doubt about that. I skip atleast 1-2 classes a week just to get into the shop an hour earlier.

OP, dont make the same mistake I did(do).

In no way are drift events going to influence where I go to college. Like I said, I just need to get out of MN and to somewhere warm.
I honestly have no idea about colleges around the country. That research is to come soon, and the college I pick will be because of the college, not drifting. I'm just curious as to where a lot of the events are and what states don't have much for drifting. I probably won't even start drifting until after college, so I can focus on school and keep my finances in check. Sorry if it sounded otherwise. I just don't want to move somewhere, only to find out that drifting is non-existant there, you know? Just curious, that's all.
