> [@BENNYFIZZLE](#): > > anyone can though, if they want. Agreed… But I see voltins point… How many more accidents have you heard about after people seeing/hearing about drift events etc… Everyone thinks that getting a car into a controled slide is easy and all it takes is a little counter steer, when in fact its a lot more than that. When I first started trying to get the car sideway I would do neutral slides comming out of a turn… and then just try and hold it for a second and then be on my way… I’m still a nub but I can generaly get a car sideway pretty decent thru a turn… I linked a drift once in an S turn behind my house, i was amazed that I held it… ---

You’re going to go to Virginia to do huge donuts on an asphault circle? You know LRP has a skidpad too, right? :rofl ---

I’m going to West Virginia to setup the race car’s brand new sexpension. I’m going for free because I agreed to teach noobs. Summit’s skid pad is intense. LRP’s is lame. ---

The new triple skidpad? Hell yeah…but driving 20 hours to drive it…not so much. :rofl ---

More like 6. I’ll also get to test the setup on the road course…for free. If you can think of a better way to properly setup and test a car, I’d love to hear it. ---

You misunderstood me, I was referring to Mackenzie driving all the way the hell down there to do donuts. I don’t really give a shit what you do, frankly I think you should ‘test the roll cage’ before anything. :shifty :rofl :tong ---

That makes more sense. Adam and I have been looking for a cheapo E36 shell to test the cage on. We have a great tree-lined ravine to toss it down. Wanna donate your car to science? ---
