Kennedy Commons on Wednesday nights! Awesome spot. But seriously, I don’t think anyone has put one on in a while. S1DC boys should look into doing one. You’ll need SOME competition in the future! ---

Sure I’ll probably be flamed for this. But if it’s your very first time, find a wide open isolated parking lot at night. It’s and easy and cheap way to figure out when/where/how/why your car breaks traction and how to control said loss of traction. Just be smart at about the location, time and length of session. ---

Are you familiar with performance driving? Ie racing line, heel toe shifting. If not, learn those things then get yourself out to Toronto motorsports park for open car lapping, its only $60 for an evening session. This will help you to get to know the handling characteristics of your car. After you get some track experience, watch Drift Bible on YouTube to get familiar with drifting techniques such as hand brake, powerover, shift lock, braking and feint. Once you understand these, come out to a DriftOps event and let er rip!! Btw you will learn more on the track in one day than if you spent the entire summer effin around in parking lots. ---
