Why Compete at Street Series?

The inspiration for this series is to have our own speed and style drift competition for grassroot drivers who want to enjoy some fun, wheel-to-wheel drifting with likeminded drivers. This comp series might not be for everyone, the rules are simple and clear to ensure drivers will have fun competing, in a safe manner and looking good while doing it. Please check out the rules below to ensure you are in full compliance. Stay safe, have fun!

This is a season long points series that will feature multiple layout configurations, some in day light and some under the lights at night. At the beginning of the season all drivers start with zero points and the top first, second and third overall points holders will be crowned series winners.

Drivers Meeting

If you are not at the driver’s meeting, you cannot compete and will not be issued a refund. Absolutely no exceptions. Note: Staff may reject your car during technical inspection; the driver can fix their car if time is available. If rejected by staff or if unable to be corrected, staff may issue a partial refund; these events are not for everyone. Try to stay in the spirit of the rules.

General Information

• The main event will be a 32-driver tandem-battle competition.
• Rolling start battles. We do not drag race off a line.
• Judged in sections: entry, corners, snaps, flow
• There will be a battle for third (3rd) and fourth (4th) place before the final battle.
• Practice sessions may happen depending on time and driver counts.

Style / Flow

• Line and speed from lead car
• Proximity and drift from chase car
• Heavy angle on deceleration (slow down hard) – Brakes encouraged
• Shallow on acceleration (fast)
• Smooth transition between varying angle within drift
• Hard transitions with momentum

Execution

• Tandem transitions encouraged to be simultaneous or chase transitions should be earlier than lead car
• Transitions should be as hard/fast as possible
• Exit course should be straightened from drift as smooth as possible
• Chase car proximity should end equal or closer than start

Errors

• Half spin, full spin, or any full loss of inertia = driver error resulting in 0
• Two tires off pavement or hitting / running over cones = driver error resulting in deduction
• Excessive Rev limiter = driver error resulting in deduction
• Excessive E-brake usage = driver error resulting in deduction
• Correction of front wheels (understeer) = driver error resulting in deduction depending on severity
• Left foot braking in lead car if deemed unnecessary = driver error resulting in deduction or 0 if malicious
• Bump/crash directly contributing to lead car error = chase driver error resulting in deduction or 0

Interior

• Drivers must fit cars with as many OE interior panels as possible from driver/ passenger seats forward.
• Dash, carpet, center console, two (2) forward seats, and door panels will be required.
• Door cards cut to accommodate roll cage bar fit will be allowed.
• Panels cut to accommodate parts such as fire extinguishers, hydro brake mounting, gauges, etc., will be allowed.
• Rear seats/panels behind driver/passenger seats are not mandatory.
• Factory seat belts are acceptable. Cars with racing harnesses will follow mounting guidelines in the main Lock City Rulebook.
• Fire extinguishers are required for each vehicle and must be mounted within reach of the driver while fastened into the driving position.

Cages

• Roll cages are HIGHLY encouraged for competition but not required. Drivers can find roll cage guidelines in the main Lock City Rulebook.
• Bolt-in cages with door bars will be acceptable.

Suspension

• Aftermarket suspension (coilovers highly recommended), low cars are cool, and staff will enforce car height to make car cooler :)
• Must maintain factory suspension mounting points. Cars with relocated mounting points to accommodate more angle are not eligible.

Exterior

• Vehicle aero/body kits are encouraged but optional. Cars must have all body panels and bumpers on during the entire event.
• Tire tread must not protrude beyond the fender of the car.

Tires

• Car REAR tires may not exceed 235 tire width and utilize a MINIMUM 200 treadwear (no exceptions). Tires will be measured at random by staff. Drivers found to be exceeding tire specifications at any point throughout the event will be subject to disqualification without refund. There are no restrictions on front tire specifications.

Engine Swaps

• Engine swaps of any size or type are allowed with no horsepower limit.
• Factory mounting locations must remain in stock location.
• Radiator must remain in the general factory location.
• Exhaust must exit rear of vehicle

Broken Vehicles

• The vehicle the driver brings to the event that passes LCD technical inspection must be the vehicle utilized by the driver in competition. If drivers break their vehicle, they cannot use another vehicle for the competition.
• EXCEPTION: If another vehicle is available, not being used by another competition driver, and passes an LCD technical inspection, it may be used, but only if a majority staff vote approves it.
