OG layout, Boss circuit, and camping weekends
Piedmont Drift is a longtime Southeast grassroots favorite with a laid-back paddock, strong tandem action, camping weekends, and two layouts that keep drivers and media coming back.
Address and planning
6750 Holts Store Rd, Julian, NC 27283. This is a solid stop for drivers who want tandem-friendly layouts, a familiar community feel, and a relaxed event atmosphere.
Layout notes
OG and Boss Circuit
- OG layout: flat left, flat right, over-the-top drop into a left hander, wide right sweeper, then uphill into a left semi-hairpin.
- Boss Circuit: tighter and less beginner-friendly, with tire walls around the outside and an open infield that makes for great media angles.
- Both layouts are well suited for tandems and keep the track feeling active all weekend.
Community notes
Why drivers keep coming back
- Ryan Deavers and Kristin have built a relaxed event culture with a long-running local following.
- Nathan first met Ryan in 2008 when they were both drifting RX-7s, so this page sits on real scene history rather than random summary text.
- Best fit for drivers who want a welcoming paddock and plenty of tandem-friendly laps.
