Drift Land Texas LLc is a local budding business endeavor to bring automotive enthusiasts together in a safe and legal way. We share our love of locally accessible auto sports and strive to improve driver skill awareness thru demonstration.  We value our members, local and abroad, staff, and the all of the volunteers that give their time to put on these events.  At times there may be differences of opinions, and that is expected, but unsportsmanlike behavior will not be tolerated.   A Drift Land Texas event is a non-speed driving skill contest held on short courses that emphasizes car handling and agility rather than speed or power.  Events are held on a paved, flat surface, wherein the course typically consists of short straights with multiple connecting turns or corners. The course layout is such as to emphasize car handling, driver skill, and maneuverability rather than performance. Competition licenses are not required as hazards to spectators, participants, and property are expected not to exceed those encountered in normal, legal highway driving.   Gymkhana literally means ‘Car Rodeo’. Gymkhana is a best time in class obstacle course event in an automobile.  The driver must maneuver through a course performing many different driving techniques. What separates gymkhana from traditional autocross events is that the gymkhana requires drivers to perform reversals, 180 degree spins, 360 degree spins, parking boxes, figure 8s and other advanced skills. Drifting is also encouraged where helpful or necessary. Drifting is an art form enabled by the talent of the drivers to control a vehicle through corners at speeds and angles that exceed the vehicle’s ability to adhere to the ground surface.  However, the driver’s goal is to get through the course as timely as possible with the least amount of mistakes. Acceleration, braking, drifting & grip driving are all necessary. Not only do they have to hold control over his/her own car, but gymkhana requires strong mental concentration and memorization   Autocross events emphasize the correct line and proper driving technique needed to build autosport skills.  Slaloms, lane changes and threshold turns define a course that tests a driver’s skill against the clock.  Friendly atmosphere (instruction available),  low-risk and entry level technique makes this a great place for new autosport drivers to build experience and comfort in car control.  It is our goal to grow club autosports, in a fun, friendly, yet safe environment The event organizers have the right to refuse an entry at their discretion. This permits organizers to protect their and property owners interests, by declining the entry of someone who is believed to pose a safety hazard or other significant threat
