^ Ask any racer, any real racer.

[AHR[e30]]

well i kind of thought that but did any of you guys have just land that was in the middle of no were and no one can hassle you or anything

[Takeivy21]

I doubt youll see that, not too common. A guy that Ive met at a couple events had a dirt track in his backyard that he used to beat the crap out of his s13 on. Local business district for me, no one there after 9pm, its on a hill, on a road no one hardly travels on, about 5 miles from a main road.

Dead in at a industrial area in Compton. Heres a vid from tonight :D

It takes time to learn how your car reacts. I started in the rain on stock sys and beefy tires. Now its just way to easy ,even with my eta lol I still have yet to e-brake it. Best bet is to get some tires you can learn with and go from there.

never. The area cuts any sound off. Ive just seen the LA county shariff heli fly by b4 but not for us. Im usuly there pretty often as long as I got gas and in the area hah

[agile30]

Pretty much just find a nice industrial spot with a nice sweeping turn and start playing around. Test your car as well as yourself.

[Asbradley21]

Holy fucking shit you morons are stupid. Keep that shit off of the streets. BTW. drifting is stupid.

Usually it starts with short, fat and ugly guys that have been bullied all their youth, have no friends or girlfriends. Drifting seems to attract people's attention, so perhaps by entering "the circle", poor lad could make friends beyond internet. Don't forget that drifting and figure skating are in the same department. And you know what they say of figure skaters...

Instead, learn how to drive at HPDEs and start racing. :pimp:

I'm not a huge fan of drifting in general, but to all the nay-sayers out there.. tell me it doesn't feel pretty awesome to nail a corner perfectly whilst sideways.

Yeah, when you've taken a corner a bit too hard and the back end comes out, its fun, Not sliding a car around with cambered wheels because it doesn't make enough power to spin, and even more having to do an E-brake entry.

Drifting is silly.
