We were graced with beautiful blue skies and cool breezes at NHMS this past Saturday for “Freedom Drift”, our 3rd event of the season. With 32 drivers, “Freedom Drift” was our largest event at NHMS to date and the most enjoyable. Sticking with the same course as our last event, drivers were presented with two large left-handed sweepers that allowed from high speeds and large amount of tire smoke. The freshly sealed parking lot made things even more interesting as drivers had to contend with the higher speeds, hot weather and slick pavement.

Driver’s kept things exciting throughout the day. We were also able to pick up a few extra fans as NHMS was preparing for their first big NASCAR event of the season, the Lenox 301, being held next weekend. While most of the drivers chose to run a Nissan 240sx, we did have a few new cars including a Supercharged Mazda Miata, a Z31 Nissan 300zx turbo, and a late 90′s BMW 3 series. It’s refreshing to see different types of cars attending these events. It shows much drifting has grown in New England these past few years.
Our next event is our annual Fall Classic on Sunday September 11th. Take note, this is on Sunday and not our usual Saturday. We have some great stuff planned, so stay tuned. Also, a huge thank you to all the volunteers that came out. Without your help, we would not be able to put on these events.
Thanks,
Kevin D
