gripping a stock car is shit

drifting is going downhill, not enough ppl entering the scene. everytime i go to a drift event its always the same ppl.

always the same 20ppl with the few new faces.

solution: go to the states and drift

unless that new track in downsview opens, then drifting will grow 100 fold.

drifting is just like expressing your style. just like playin ball

some play straight up with no style, and some play pure street.

its all in your gameeeeeeee

drifting is cool. more entertainment than a sport in my eyes. too subjective like figure skating.

but if you drift guys are upset about the sport/scene going down hill why don’t you get off your asses and try to promote it yourselves? instead of waiting for drift sessions too few and far between for your liking. just a thought.

Stop being an idiot. You said that grip is more expensive and you need more money to do it. And I said that you can do both with a stock car. I didn’t say whether or not it would be shit to do.

Learn to read.

wow…

Sponsored by megan racing.

…wow

And one more thing I love is excuses. “I ran 14.1 with slipping clutch, was wearing sandals, uncomfortable underwear, shitty tires…”  
Just shut up dude. Let me guess though, if your clutch wasn’t slipping, you’d run 12s?

How about you stop expressing your feelings aka crying about it… and get a drift event going. The weather is getting perfect for drift, get er done.

Whoah, wait, what?

Who’s talking about high 15s.

And I am sticking to ‘grip’ and the occasional drag strip. I tried drifting back in the day, realized I sucked and didn’t have the resources (read: tires) to maintain that ‘lifestyle’.

Most people who are into “drifting” on SON are mostly posers. We all know who the good drifters are.

Got another newb comment in the books, your really rackin them up today!

You can tell if someone doesnt know how to grip VERy easily. (slow down to much when going into the corner, taking the wrong lines, spinning, locking brakes, missing gears)

But of course you already knew these things right?
