Legal drifting?

i know theres events and all where you take classes or whatnot on drifting, but where the heck do you find out about them and where are they usually?

im located in the bay area and i was just wondering if there was a way for me to learn to drift without getting effed by the cops.

btw i did searches and not much came up.

Drift Day Norcal is your best bet.

Yeah drifting up in NorCal is not that great, although they are starting to get some events going. Hopefully they will get support and people going out to them or they will die out.

Waste of time+money.

That money starts piling up though...I'd maybe do it every MONTH if I was really hard on it...but I guess thats up to you.

Beyond that, I would really like to see more events here in VA.

even with running your car hard, your not going to need to change your oil that much. i say every 1500 miles.
