The Midwest Drift & Drags are taking over Cordova Dragway June 12–13th for the ultimate automotive party of the summer. Join racers and fans from across the Midwest for two days of horsepower, tire smoke, and nonstop action.

We’ve teamed up with Jordan Sharp to bring competitive classes for everyone, including AWD, 5.30 Small Tire, and—for the first time ever at Cordova—Roll Racing. All classes feature low entry fees and over $20k in guaranteed payouts.
