Yea well, i was looking at the wear on my old tires i used for drifting, and it seems that my toe on my rears is all messed up, and i m guessing that’s what causes the unwanted drifting. Awesome information though guys, i m gonna try to set the car up so i get a little slide out of it, that should speed up my cornering. Thanks guys. ---

You may know racing, but I know sleeping. I’ve been sleeping for 21 years now, and I sleep a lot! Sometimes I’ve gone for like 14 hours. I practice every day, and I’ve yet to see someone anywhere as good at it as I am.
