Thursday Night Cruise
Arrive early Thursday to get yourself and your car ready for the Thursday Night Drift Cruise as we roll into Downtown Bowling Green together! The TNC has become a staple of LS Fest East kicking off the event weekend in grand fashion. All Drift Challenge competitors are invited to cruise from the track down to Fountain Square Park and celebrate and show off for the locals. The City of Bowling Green provides a police escort and a ton of local businesses open their doors to us with food and drink specials!
Sunday Shred at NCM
There's no better way to close out the LS Fest East weekend than shredding the National Corvette Museum's Motorsports Park.
After two days at Beech Bend Raceway, the Drift Challenge heads over for a day of party laps on NCM's East Course. Fast entries, blind apexes, and enough elevation change to make your heart skip a beat or two!
