Have you gotten yourself to a legal event yet? The runs you get there will teach you a lot. Or more so you get what you put in. The opportunity to learn a lot is there.

I have really only drifted 15 - 20 times over the last 8 months and I have improved over what I was doing in the beginning.

You are not going to have the confidence to hit turns ultra fast if you don't get out and learn:

How hard you can hit a turn.

How to correct for too much steam.

When to panic and put a stop to the drift.

How to stop the car (this can be fun, sometimes a counter move can only load the springs more and flick you over and over).

Get yourself to a DGTA or legal event, even if you are not driving. I will help you out. I might not be a great drifter but I am a damn fine teacher. I have the mechanics down pat.

Get this one. We were drifting legally at a track event. A news crew shot footage of us thru a chain link fence and used the footage in a "street racing" article.

ULTRA ****ED UP

Streets are fun. Just hit the track so you know when to calm the fugg down.

i don't drift on public streets alot, i go to industrial parks in the middle of the night when there are no people or cars there. i do like foolin around in the streets sometimes, but i do watch myself not to overdo it.

DOW is the series that is run at E-Town raceway park. Get your buns over there.

You need NO MODS. If you don't believe me give me your car and I will show you some stuff.
