I have driven 14+ hours to go drifting for a day.
If you want it bad enough you will figure a legal way.

here in norcal, people organized events in parking lots. is it easy? no. is it expensive? yes. but thats why you rally people together, get sponsers to help and charage a fee to enter your ride.

Rally your drivers.
Contact an organization like DD, DGTrials, Clubloose, East Coast Drifters or Look Out Drift.
If you have a location and the drivers they will come down and run the event. We have done it before and it rocks. Talk to me on AIM if you would like some contact info.
More events will grow our hobby and that kicks ***.

Have any of you actually loked into these colors being more expensive? I don't know about your guys insurance rates but when I was under Allstate my adjustor said that the color and/or the tranny type had nothing to do with rates. And Insurance is the same from 18-25 in males, so it isn't just "dumb kids" it's guys showing off mostly that makes our rates higher. When my Uncle gets home I will see what he says about it, he worked for State Farm for eleventy some-ought years. Just giving you guys what I know...

who cares if someone goes out into an empty parking lot to go drifting its alot smarter than going out in the city and drifting and maybe getting in an accident and having it be ur own fault. props to guy going in the empty lot thats what i would do

exactly... i'm not just going to sit around and look at my car and wish I could drift it... because I don't have the money to drive probalby, 6+ hours to drift track everytime I wanna drift... plus no one in this town even has a car that can drift.. they're like 5 240sx in the town and they're all ****ty... so I can't really set anything up... I'm not stupid about this, I don't go to a parking lot and drift around cars and people.. i use cones, and light poles sometimes... in an empty lot... how can that be "bad" or "stupid"?.. I just work with what I have... I hate when people try to act like their opinion is the only "right" and anyone else is wrong.

Dude your in Warner Robbins, Atlanta is like two hours away absolute maximum, probably more like 1 1/2 hrs. DGTrials is hosting an event here next week. You can't say your too far away. The guys in Idaho and Montana can get away with that excuse but not you.

You guys are straight noobs, the color of your car doens't make insurance go up or down thats a myth. They base it on what other ppl do in the smae car not the same color. If you have a red minivan your insurance is way lower then if you have a brown 240.

youre a super noob. A minivan will always be cheaper than a 240... and YES it does make a difference... which is why im not painting my 240 anything exotic or bright, because the insurance company said they wont insure me if i do... I called them. so suck a fat one you noob.

maybe its different up north where people say "eh?" and "dont ya know?" after everything they say, but down here, where the insurance policy is under the "new orleans metropolitain" area, color matters. Red cars are more likely to be jacked in this area, cuz idiots can see vivid color better. Sucks that even though i live 30 miles from the big easy, i still have to pay insurance like i was. And FYI, i am insured through allstate.
Secondly, lrb, you made a good point there, not many of us have the time and resources to drift on a regular basis... or even on dry pavement... LOL. Not all of us can dumpster dive for used tires. I doubt that anyone here has a tire mounting machine. Not many of us have freinds in the tire shops who can hook us up. we are normal people trying to have fun. Okay, so its not exactly right, but i doubt anyone here would do much else in our shoes.
