On winter weekends, car enthusiasts get together west of Calgary to slide with style
Patrick Jutras throws up the horns as he rides Sleepy, a 1991 Nissan 240SX, around the ice track at Ghost Lake, a popular destination for ice drifting.
Mr. Jutras and Ms. King were here for the drifting, a motorsport where drivers, essentially, slide sideways through corners. Mr. Jutras’s ride is tricked out for drifting – Sleepy sports a chassis mount wing for show and a hydro brake to lock the rear wheels during controlled slides – but this crowd does not discriminate based on make and model.
People from all walks of life, with many types of vehicles, come to drive at Ghost Lake. Daryle McKnight brought his truck and his dog, Titan. Aiden Kennedy came in a Subaru Legacy.
