Creating An Insane $250k Backyard Drift Track
Ever wondered what happens when you give a bunch of car guys $250k, a farm, a world-class track builder, heavy machinery, and complete creative freedom?
The team at CboysTV answered that question by building any drift fans’ dream track – complete with banked walls and technical corners.
And, because safety barriers are too mainstream and boring, they decided to use the surrounding forest as nature’s guardrails (or clipping points.) I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
Discussing the decision to keep the trees, they explain, “Everyone that we’ve told this idea to is like ‘do you really need to have trees incorporated into the drift track?’ and we’re like ‘absolutely not, especially being novice drifters, it’s the last thing we should have'”.
I guess sometimes the craziest ideas make for the best entertainment. Right? But, uhh… let’s just say it caught up with them later on. Ouch.
With the help of a world-class track builder, fresh from creating Supercross courses in India, they transformed their farm into an asphalt paradise.
What started as a simple skid pad evolved into something much more ambitious, featuring a massive banked wall perfect for high-speed skids.
Unlike these guys, if you have a spare $250k, a drift car, and a bunch of land, we’d recommend wearing a helmet, especially if you intend to throw trees into the mix!
“This is the most fun thing I’ve ever done in my whole life – the track is perfect!” Jake exclaimed after the first test run, where he didn’t hold back.
His enthusiasm might have been slightly dampened later by Mike’s Nissan 350Z catching fire, and a crashed Mazda Miata. With that said, it’s just a normal day for these guys.
Want to see these hoonigans living out their drift track dreams while destroying cars and narrowly avoiding trees? Check out the full video at the top of this page – it’s just as chaotic and entertaining as it sounds.
After all, the best content usually starts with “Maybe this isn’t the smartest idea” and ends with broken drift cars… Right?
