Drift Lessons and Clinics
Learn to Drift with Lock City!
Drift lessons through our Lock City Drift School provide a productive, one-on-one driving experience for drivers of all skill levels. From beginners to seasoned drivers, by the end of the day you will walk away with increased confidence in your driving. Our school days provide an educational class and behind the wheel seat-time to practice the basics, as well as understand your driving goals.
What do you get at a Lock City Drift lesson?
Drivers start off the morning by meeting each other and the instructors in a classroom setting, going over the course, the cars and safety protocols. Shortly after that, they head over to the skid pad to start their 1-on-1 lessons. Instructors will be inside and outside of students cars, teaching the basics of drifting like how to do donuts, figure eights and all of the clutch kicking fun that comes along with a day on the skid pad!
By the end of the lesson the student will have a very good foundation of what it takes to start sliding around some corners. Instructors will even give tips and tricks on how to set up students personal car to get the most out of their ride. Contact us using the form below to inquire about signing up!
