Drifting for Dummies

I have a question. I know the basic concept that drifting is basicly a powerslide that you try to drag out as long as you can at high redline, but there has to be a lot more talent needed. Is there any place online that talks or tells the stages of throwing your car into a drift and how to control it, and how to end the drift safely.

Basicly what I am asking for is like what are the different types of shifting efforts needed, different types of pedal pressure on clutch/gas, and when to pull the E-Brake, etc...

Revv it up and pop the clutch while turning, i just went out to a parking lot after it rained and played around, didn't really learn or something, just goofed around and figured some tricks out =D

And try without using the e-brake, i mean when you first start i guess you could to learn the feel of it, but after that try doing it without the e-brake ;D

Where do I download the drift bible from. Oh yeah, I rarely ever do use my e-brake, just reving and dropping when it rains is what I do to. In my 89' Toyota Supra, I don't have to rev and drop at all, it just has so much torque that it spins the rear tires so easily.

use Shareaza or any popular P2P software for downloads, (legal stuff of course... )

Theres two types of drifting: Power and toe and heel method. Dont worry about the first one, you probably dont have the set up for it.....
