We’re doing this our way.
Three days of racing, drifting, music, and motorsport culture —
part Augusta, part Caddyshack, and full throttle.

SAVE THE DATE

May 15-17, 2026

Thunderhill Raceway Park turns into a three-day grassroots motorsports festival.

What’s going down:
- Road Racing: heat race format + winner-take-all prizes.
- Grassroots Drift Comp: brought to life by Matt Field & Drift Cave.
- Evenings that actually deliver: live music, good hangs, no sad BBQs or warm beer.

New Thunderhill Traditions with a wink:
Green winners jackets, tongue-in-cheek judging, and trophy ceremonies that feel half-Augusta/Caddyshack half-motorsport. Just relax, it'll be fun.

Race groups include:
This isn’t just another track day. It’s racing, drifting, car culture, and a party all in one.
- Spec Miata
- Spec MX-5
- WTCC
- Rush SR West
- Spec E46/Spec E30
- Spec Racer Ford
- Formula Awesome
- Final groupings, rules, and purse details will be released with registration.

The Thunderhill Open is what happens when you mix racing tradition with car-culture energy and a wink at Augusta. It’s grassroots, it’s kinda polished, and it’s 100% Thunderhill.

“The drift side of the Thunderhill Open is simple — a fun, exciting layout, competition battles, and excitement you can feel from the fence. Drift Cave’s bringing foot-to-the-floor, door-to-door energy to Thunderhill.”
