it is definitely different on pavement then it is snow, with snow there is practically no resistance, pavement however is another story… I agree to a point about the whole drift thing. However, who cares? We aren’t holier than anyone else just because we feel drifting is different than what others on here claim it to be. As long as people are interested, and show up to events, then that is fine with me. Call it whatever you want at that point. We are actually going to have events this year, so it’s time for people to put their money where their mouth is. ---

I see way too many people throwing the word “Drift” around on this site. People think that just because they lay their car sideways they are “drifting”. I dont know why, but that bothers me… Maybe Its because of my love for the sport, maybe its because im just a dickhead. I dont know, I dont care. Mainly this is for the people that cant waint untill it snows to go “drift” their cars… > > There are many misconceptions about the sport of drifting. Drifting is not simply sliding a car’s tail out under power in the middle of or after a turn. Drifting is not simply spinning your tires. Drifting is not doing “donuts”. The loss of traction alone does not mean that you are drifting. Drifting is not simply a technique to be applied – there is a mentality involved as well. Drifting, in the simplest sense, is the use of an intentional controlled slide to navigate around a turn. When used on a circuit, street course, or mountain pass, it can ultimately lead to complex strings of multi-directional slides that use a variety of techniques to maintain extreme oversteer. The pure essence of drifting is to never appear to have control of the vehicle, while always having complete control over the vehicle! so after reading this…who on here drifts? ---

Haha, I’m not really into the drifting scene with all the shirts and videos and shit. But I did recently purchase the Drift Bible DVD and it’s really good, alot of good points and different ways to “shift the weight” ect. I can’t wait until I get to practice and learn my car better. ---
