I went to St. Cloud this Saturday along with many other and went drifting along with autocrossing and track racing. And here is what happend.

6:00AM Friend work me up and I took a shower

6:30AM We were off on our way to Krispy Kreams to meet up with Mike, Billy and Keith (aka Beef) and have a bit of a snack before making the drive to St. Cloud.

8:15AM We arrived, and I had to ghetto rig a battery strap down.

9:00AM Listend To the Prep meeting.

11:00AM After passing tech, and doing a drive along I finaly Started to Drift.

First Run: Did not very good, Diddent know the course, I mainly Burned out the front wheels like a noob.

Second Run: Initiated a good amount of drifts and really started to have fun.

Third Run-Forth Run: Really Started getting the hang of it, the slides where much better flowing and not so out of controll.

Fifth and Sixth Runs: My Friends Rode Along on these runs, I did ok, with the extra person I dident slide as much, but it was still some good runs.

Went to lunch, blew my battery, got a new one, went back and kept Drifting :-D.

8th Run: My personal Fav run. I busted out a HUGE slide and came the closest to the cones and everyone said it was the best of all my runs.

9th Run: Started Getting Crazy, yet never go a slide as big as the eight one.

10th-15th Run: About the same, all big, and much better, people started to think I was lieing that I dident have a diff, and people started walking over from autocross and asking what kind of diff i had.

I left with lots of footage at about 5PM (About of 1/4 of it dident work, and my first runs really blew, and I dont personaly have any of my last stuff) I will post it later, when i can.

Anyways, i want to thank everyone who helped me so far with all my stupid questions and so on. I had so much fun and my Mich. X One worked out good, and the tread ware is awesome. Well anyways, i had alot of fun, and ill get picks up soon.

Keith did good, The best of the day.

I will get some video up soon, im going to give it to keith to edit, and mix it up and stuff. And ill have my other drifting footage up soon also.

Its much safer yes, but much more expensive. I might work at the place next to times (I get 30$s Credit each time) so that after 2 times of working their and helping out, I can do it for free :-D

nah think of the cones as CURBS
now if you hit the cones a lot consider how crappy you are on the street. adds a bit more stress and forces you to control. if you hit one you just toasted your car, minus the $$$ for damage

ive always thought of it that way. if it is a real curb, my car would be in a junkyard in peices a longgggg time ago :)

but iv'e been gettting better. except on sunday nailed the sweeper and cut the corner haha..good times

Thats true, im just going to lay off it for a while, i need to save, so that I can do alot of it this summer. I need to find some tires and save up 65$s at a time, so that I can aford to do this, right now I dont have very much money, so i need to save. And im watching the video of you right now. Dang your guys track is MUCH larger than the parking lot we got to play with. Not to bad, gj Aaron :)
