    uh. I attend HPDEs and autocross my 200,000 mile cheap ass e30. Being broke is no excuse for being a jackass and endangering others on public roads.

      Your seats and wheels cost more then most peoples e30s so your point=fail. Besides non of the people are suggesting to drift near other cars or pedestrians. All the video clips show empty areas. That being said none of the videos showed drifting either. Just some donuts and some power slides. I would not consider drifting to be a sport or the end all of performance driving. More of a practice in car control. If your applying the same principles that AMA top riders do (learn how to flattrack so you can power out of a turn on your sport bike) then it can be be a great tool for a tail happy e30 on the track.

      Federal sponsors a lot of drift practice events where you get to drift for free as long as you have their tires on your car so you might want to pick up a set of those. Also dunlop direzzas are supposed to be pretty good since they get pretty sticky when drifting. Also very cheap.

        the dirts the best, doesn't wear the tread down(just cuts them into pieces slowly);) you only need 90hp and a LSD to drift around in the dirt.

          Thats what I thought. Having the back end step out when making a turn tho is cool.

            he pretty much said it all, that why i asked people were they do to get an idea, and get away from the public, and for you thinking that drifting is stupid alright cool but thats your opinion, to others drifting is an incredible thing, but any who, i would love to find my self a pair of federal tires, but its a pain i typed them up every were on Google and stuff, but i could only by it on there and usually they don't have the size i'm looking for, is there a place were i can get them i'm in Socal?

                      It's not possible to "get beat" in an HPDE.

                          I don't know what your definition of "beat" is, but you aren't competing at an HPDE. The point is to get better as a driver and advance up the class which are based on experience and skill. It is a step to becoming a club racer, and once you are one a good way to keep your skills sharp and give back by helping other drivers if you are an instructor.

                          I won't hate on drifting, because I enjoy a good drift video, but I would never become a drifter or anything, don't see the point in it as a sport. As a sport it is about as interesting as drag racing to me, if you only like power slides or going in a straight line that's cool, but I find rally and track racing to be much more interesting and they feature both.

                            My friend usually hosts a few trackdays a year at a pretty decent price $130-150 for min of 7 sessions. And there'se usually a skid pad open that anyone can go throughout the entire day and I usually see a lot of people drifting and trying to drift so you may want to look into local track events with a similar set up?

                              I always thought drifting to real drives is like Modern Warfare 2 to real soldiers. Something fun to do in your spare time but now there's a bunch of broke-ass highschoolers that take it seriously.

                              There is so much ignorance and fail in this thread, I almost feel like I'm in highschool. Almost, but not quite.

                              Highschool had hot chicks.

                                Agreed except in no way is drifting a sport.

                                Try looking into driving/racing schools where you can learn the basics in a vehicle that is not your daily.
