Tires and trackside essentials
Drift tires for Sanford pickup or track delivery, plus fluids, hardware, repair supplies, and the small parts that can save a weekend.
About Driftaholic Racing
Founded in 2011
We keep drivers on track.
Driftaholic Racing was built from a simple reality: no matter how carefully a driver prepares, something will eventually be missing, worn out, or broken at the track.
What began at Virginia International Raceway grew into a North Carolina drift shop, event-support operation, and community resource serving drivers across the Southeast.
Built at the track
From seat time to trackside support
Nathan McDuffie entered drifting in 2008 and formally founded Driftaholic Racing in 2011. Virginia International Raceway's skid pad and Patriot Course became the first official event home for the name and the place where the mission took shape.
Drivers needed tires mounted, small repairs completed, parts found, and practical answers quickly. Driftaholic Racing grew by filling those gaps and helping people get back on course instead of losing an event weekend.
What we do today
Practical support for grassroots drivers
Safety gear and honest guidance
Zamp helmets, shields, racewear, accessories, sizing help, and straightforward recommendations based on the driver and event rules.
Service and seat time
Tire service, fabrication, repairs, and helmet or drift-car rentals when available, backed by guides built from real event experience.
Keep it simple
Reliability before hype
We believe the right drift car is the one that stays on track. That means prioritizing maintenance, safety, cooling, brakes, tires, and driver development before chasing horsepower or complicated builds.
Our recommendations are shaped by seat time, repair experience, customer budgets, and what actually works during a long event weekend.
The people behind Driftaholic Racing
A family business with a trackside crew
Tony Martin
Tony joined the team in 2024 with a focus on expanding the products Driftaholic Racing carries. He can also be found driving his VQ-powered S13 at events across the region.
Family at the center
Sheuna Battle joined in 2020 after riding passenger and jumping at the chance to drive. She keeps the team focused during busy track days and pilots different drift cars at events. The McDuffie kids help with booth sales and grab photos around the track.
Trackside tire crew
Joey, Mars, and Matthew handle tire-changing support when the paddock gets busy. Joey has been with the company since 2023 and serves as Lead Tire Changer, helping keep the workflow moving when drivers need fast turnarounds.
Together, the crew brings the same approach to every event: stay useful, solve the problem in front of us, and help drivers get back to what they came to do.
