About the sXd Challenge

The SmileXDeath Challenge is an event aimed at introducing a lighthearted, historically-inspired Japanese-style team drift competition to the United States. This unique challenge emphasizes extensive seat time, team building, and the development of innovative driving techniques. Hosted by drift team Car Shop Karoshi & the Pile Up Podcast, participants can expect an exhilarating experience filled with surprises throughout the event. While the sXd Challenge is primarily an invitational, there are open slots that will be available through an application process and special guests.
