i would rather grip

drifitng is alot harder in my opinion and ive never tried it.

if i went, ide spin out and fuck up al lthe time, then you gotta come home and hear it from shitheads on this club about how your a poser anyways.

when i bought a 240 it wasnt so i could be a mad tyte drifter, its cuz i loved the platform.

i knew about the 240 and wanted one about a year before i even knew what drifitng was.

I suck at drifting and I’m no good at the grip events either.

But I go to have fun and to learn to push my car to its limits. I didn’t build my car for anything.

I just slapped together the typical mods since I had nothign better to do. :dunno:

Minus whale see how the mods fare on a track and just enjoy the fuck out of it irregardless of what anyone says.

fail

thats USAIR, USA international raceway in the midwest.

[http://www.usainternationalraceway.com/](http://www.usainternationalraceway.com/)

the track was not built with drift in mind, drifters just turned it into a “drift track” like how ive said many times already.

the only drift track that i know of is in japan called drift world or watever

big parking lot with islands inbetween here and there.

I like drift more, I’m not pro, hell I’m not even really good. I just like to rip around and have fun. To the people who are worried about going drifting and spinning out. Why? Everyone spins out. I’ve seen guys who I consider twice the drifter I am spin out. Pros spin out. It is not an excuse to not go to the track. If it’s our first time on the track, yes it will be noticeable, Yes you will spin. But if you take your time and don’t fly into the first corner at 100km/h people aren’t going to make fun of you. Drive within your limits and stay on the track.

Grip would be a lot more fun if everyone have stripped out cages cars and we could run door to door. But that level of racing requires lots of skill and money.

+1  
if you guys think allesserfate, jesse, & those other guys dont spin out , obviously you wern’t at DMCC,  
the truth is they maake up for it in other area’s so they get respect.

certain things just dont help , like keeping it in first the entire drift…

if you guys arent sure & need experience before you hit the course, go to the skidpads…

a great place to learn the basics is in the snow.

as long as you in a huge lot you can get most of your experience right there. gravel & snow is how I learned how to do most of my stuff,  
before that I just thought I was drifting…

just go out ,balls to the walls ,and have fun…  
as long as your being mature about it then no one will have much to say,

and for god sakes, take it out of first gear.

Drifting in a parking lot with snow is like masturbating.

It won’t make you better at sex.

Catch my drift?

honestly if someone knows where there is a big, secluded gravel/dirt parkit lot or “area” i would love to know about it.

snow parking lots are easy to find when the time is right but i’ve never come across a decent dirty area thats not too harsh on the suspension (ruts and shit and common i guess on the dirt)
