Bushiri drifting

A while back I wrote a piece on drifting in Aruba. How cool would it be to have a drifting track a mere 5 minutes away from Downtown. Well, the folks in Aruba have just that!

 

And with regularity they hone their skills and take a lucky few for a ride. So, if you are thinking of visiting Aruba, even if it while on a cruise, check into the availability of a drift session at the Bushiri track. You can find their contact information on the picture to the right.

Below you will find a short video clip of what can be expected. So, come on down and enjoy yourself.



Did I mention that the have a world class sky diving operation which is super cool as well. Just see for yourself by clicking here.

Drift Taxi

The other day I was doing some research when I came across this video shot on ARUBA, our sister island.

Aruba, as seen from the heavens

I wasn't able to find more details but it seems those crazy Arubans are organizing with some frequency now, a so-called "Drift Taxi" event, in which a professional driver will drive you around the famed Bushiri Karting Track in your very own drift session.
Drift Taxi is held mostly on Sunday's, early afternoon and the fee is just Awg. 20 florin. For more info, please click here.

Below a great "Drift Taxi" video, set to some cool tunes:



The Bushiri Karting Track is conveniently located near the low rise hotels (Oranjestad) and easily accessible by rental car or taxi. Back in 1990,  I was a podium finisher in the A-B-C Classic karting race and I can attest that it is a great track for drifting as well.

The track has been reviewed by many and you can find these on Trip Advisor, please click here.

"Drift Taxi", sign me up! Next time in Aruba I will surely visit.

Thanks for reading.
