U-Drift is now accepting resumes for the following openings: Hostess Driving Instructor Security (must have EMT certifications) Ferrari Drift Team Driver/Mechanic
U-Drift won its zoning court case! Drifting is specifically legal in all CB-2 zones inside the city limits of Birmingham thanks to our court victory (Civil Action Number CV 07-2560 JSV).
Unfortunately, the trial took time and our lease at Century Plaza has expired. We are now actively searching for a large, unused parking lot to lease in the Birmingham area.
If you know of a closed Wal-Mart, shopping center like Westlake Plaza, large grocery store, giant automobile dealership, etc...then please post it here.
We'd like to find 7+ acres of existing but generally vacant pavement.
We had a lease, then the landlord in Moody backed out at the last minute. That experience tipped us off to some property for sale, however, so hopefully we will have something purchased in the very near future that will give U-Drift full control over its future, instead of being somewhat dependant on a landlord.
Well I'm still hoping for the best. I don't live close enough to look for b'ham property or I would help. I am in the process of trying to obtain an AE86 to try some drifting though.

U-Drift has now secured all rights to the former Alabama Auto Auction site in Moody, 1.5 miles North of I-20, just outside of Birmingham!
The surface has a wave in it where they rounded off the elevation for water drainage. There is also one pothole out there that needs to be filled and patched with fresh asphalt.
We'll need to lay out the cones to take advantage of the above topography on the drift course. Easy enough to do, just requires being smart about course placement/layout.
Please let the Atlanta guys know that we'll be having a public sneak preview for a few hours next week (10/17) even though we haven't opened yet.
We've got a new drifting event, too. Barrel Racing!
Sorry I was asking about the physical texture of the asphalt. On a scale of 1-10, 1 being baby smooth and 10 being a cheese grader what would you rank the majority of the surface?
I replied in another thread but is there a phone number or email I can contact you directly at?
