Located in between Auburn and Birmingham, deep in the Alabama woods, exists a motorsport heaven. MidPond, a raceway and sports complex, is home to a variety of motorsports activities. Most of these are drifting and autocross. MidPond is a 12 turn track with a pond in the middle, making a great opportunity for pictures. Ken, the owner and manager, is very laid back and super easy going. The clubhouse is fitted with a ton of chairs and couches, making spectating very nice. They even have a grill and sell food, but with COVID this was not an option they were currently offering. Of the tracks I have been to, MidPond feels like a true grassroots drifting location and I hope it can stay that way.

This event was jam packed full of drivers to the point where i had to move my car across the street to allow for more drivers in the pits. 40 drivers filled the property to this invite-only event, consisting of only drivers that have been in the sport for years with really nice cars. This was a super fun event to attend and I hope to be back.
