Every car, truck, SUV, minivan, RV, other standard sized vehicle will need either a Car or RV Camping Pass* to gain access to the campsite areas. Please remember that you may only have 1 vehicle per camping space. Camping Passes do not have phases (like GA) and the price remains the same unless they sell out and become unavailable. More information about camping areas can be found here.

CAR CAMPING PASS
Car Camping sites are about 12.5' x 30' (including the space for your car). There is no “per person” camping fee. For example, if you have 3 people coming in 1 vehicle, you only need 1 Car Camping Pass (each person will still need to purchase General Admission).

CAR CAMPING TRACKSIDE PASS
The Car Camping Trackside Pass is identical to the Car Camping Pass, with the added benefit of having a great view of either the Full or Patriot Course.

RV CAMPING PASS
RV Camping sites are about 20' x 50' (including the space for your RV). Tents can be set up WITH your RV if they are within this space, and any slide-out rooms or awnings must fit within this designated space. There is no “per person” camping fee. For example, if you have 8 people coming in 1 RV, you only need 1 RV Camping Pass (each person will still need their own GA ticket).

RV CAMPING TRACKSIDE PASS
The RV Camping Trackside Pass is identical to the RV Camping Pass, with the added benefit of having a great view of either the Full or Patriot Course.

*General Admission (GA) is required for entry to HyperFest and must be purchased separately. Camping Passes do not include a GA pass. Vehicle re-entry is strongly discouraged.

Activity passes and other items will go on sale in late February. Stay tuned.

NEW FOR 2025. In the past we have had specific sessions for both ‘A GROUP’ and ‘B GROUP’ drivers. However for this year, we are switching it up and only offering registration for ’A GROUP’ drivers. ‘A GROUP’ is designed for drivers that exhibit great car control. ‘A GROUP’ drivers can complete the course without any issues, are generally looking to improve minor areas of their skill set and are very comfortable running tandem with other drivers at high speeds. If that is not you, please do not sign up for this event (USDrift offers plenty of other events you can drive in). If you show up and are not able to drive at this level, you will have to sit out and will not be refunded. This track is fast and can bite you if you make a mistake. Our goal is for everyone to leave with their vehicle and themselves in the same condition they arrived in, just with a much bigger smile.

In addition to their skill level, ‘A GROUP’ drivers must also have the required additional safety equipment in their vehicle; this includes, but is not limited to an approved roll cage, race seat, harness, and helmet. We recommend following the roll cage requirements set forth in Formula DRIFT to ensure you have no issues with attending other drift events around the country. The basic technical inspection form for this event can be found here. If you still have any questions regarding technical inspections, please email Ben Portyrata at YmVuIHwgdXNkcmlmdCAhIGNvbQ==.

*Drifting tickets are limited to 1 per transaction to give everyone a fair chance to purchase. If you need to purchase additional tickets for your friends, you will need to do a seperate transaction for them.
