Best Drift Car Show 2024 | Slangin' Smoke | Fun & Games | Phoenix
Navigation

The Slangin' Smoke event, hosted by Modded Kulture at Firebird Motorsports Park, is the Valley's premier drift car experience — a must-see for car enthusiasts and thrill-seekers alike. Drifting is at the heart of this multifaceted show, where skilled drivers of rear-wheel-drive vehicles slide around corners at high speeds, burning rubber as they maneuver through clouds of smoke. The event brings the legendary Bihoku Track to life, re-creating the famous Japanese mountain course known for its thrilling curves and iconic drifts. One of the event's highlights is the Swing King Competition, where drivers compete to showcase the most controlled and stylish drifts. For those who crave more adrenaline, the Donut Pit offers a spectacle as participants spin their cars in tight circles, filling the Metro Phoenix air with tire smoke. Additionally, the event features the Two-Step Competition, where high-revving engines roar, and the Car Limbo, where low-riding cars attempt to squeeze under the limbo bar. Whether you're a die-hard fan or new to the scene, Slangin' Smoke promises nonstop, furiously fast excitement.

This free annual lowrider car show is uniquely set around the hacienda-style El Mercado de Guadalupe each April. Here, several blocks of Guadalupe streets are closed off, and the charm is drawn from a combination of elements appealing to various interests. The show features an impressive array of lowrider cars and oldies, attracting top car builders across Arizona and beyond. Vehicles of all eras participate, showcasing custom candy and pearl paint jobs, chrome details, tuck-and-roll interiors, air suspension setups and hydraulic pumps. Live music, local food and family-friendly activities add to the appeal, fostering a sense of camaraderie and reunions among metro Phoenicians and out-of-state cruisers. This emphasis on community engagement sets the Guadalupe Car Show apart from others in the state. And just when you think the show is over, hundreds of vehicles cruise down the town's main drag. At the same time, spectators line the sidewalks and parking lots to photograph and video the show vehicles for the whole world to see on social media.
