flickin it to the wall , heal toe, Initial D
Drifting BABY!! over at my other forum, Nissan Forums they have been talkin about if drifting is just a fad that like pokemon, came from japan and is dead ( sorry if this offends someone =]) or a real honest to goodness venue for companys to invest?
personaly i love drifting , but certain laws keep me from doing so ( except in mexico =] )
thats why im savin up for my personal drift mobile, a 1998 240 SX with a sr20dett redtop engine suited for runs at Irwindale ( 20 min away from where i live , w00t! )
so, fad or no? and what would you drift in?

I believe it's racing where the point isn't just to win...but to win in STYLE. Power-sliding is the name of the game. I think it's cool enough to stay, and merit a videogame or two.

Drifting has been in America for a looong time... just not *cough* err.. uhh... legal.
As for it becoming an actual lasting sport here, like Japan... it's pretty possible... plenty of interest, I’d say. And the video game industry is jumping on it... PGR and NFS: Underground.
As for myself, I'd like to give it a shot... looks fun enough.
But, I'm crazy....

yep, but power sliding is braking while turning which causes loss in speed ( yeah these guys race as well )
some the proffesinals dont break which is cool, they gain speed by turning
style is the name of the game indeed

"The advice I like to give young artists, or really anybody who’ll listen to me, is not to wait around for inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself. Things occur to you. If you’re sitting around trying to dream up a great art idea, you can sit there a long time before anything happens. But if you just get to work, something will occur to you and something else will occur to you and something else that you reject will push you in another direction. Inspiration is absolutely unnecessary and somehow deceptive. You feel like you need this great idea before you can get down to work, and I find that’s almost never the case." - Chuck Close[/color]

I remember back when I was into street racing I always though drifting would be cool to do, since it requires a good amount of skill behind the wheel. It still looks like lots of fun its' just the car I have now is in no way built for making extremely tight corners.
Drift is better than Drag though.

I don’t think they call it ‘drifting’, but a friend of mine from my old church gets together once a month with guys form all over the state to race on road courses. Of course, the courses are all blocked off, so it’s not just like street racing, but people generally bring their supped up cars. He has a Dodge Stealth that he ‘tricked out’ and a really cool old Triamph (not sure if I spelt that right), you know, the one with only one seat and the single passenger rolebar. Very cool.
I don’t know a lot about cars, but its fun to see none-the-less.

Depend on it. God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply. He is too wise a God to frustrate His purposes for lack of funds, and He can just as easily supply them ahead of time as afterwards, and He much prefers doing so.

[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

>Drift is better than Drag though.
