At the start of the outing, experienced drifting instructors of American Controlled Driving Academy in conjunction with Thunderdrift brief students on the sport of drifting and give a brief safety intensive. Lessons begin with two five-minute car-control sessions with the student behind the wheel, during which instructors teach students to slide their tires through drift circles and figure eights. Following a short break, instructors guide students as they screech through five laps on the drift course. Then professional drivers steer their four-wheeled steeds on two high-speed laps of the track while participants ride in the passenger's seat. Each session includes use of a drift-capable car, as well as a photo of the experience.
