Is Hawaii's solution to illegal street drifting an increased support for draconian law enforcement or enactment of anti-hoon legislation? Nope. Anti-skid road surfaces that have the added bonus of making the roads safer for everyone and faster for enthusiasts. More*»

that sucks. lol.

^^^Not if you prefer grip driving!:ddog:

lol gotta love the government.

haha its gonna be great for the grip drivers.
hopefully they see that this is dumb and give us a track already.

What I was thinking...I lived there almost 15 years and yeah kinda bummed that I herd they closed down the track there : ( and I dont know if they do some events at Aloha Stadium? yes? no? but yeah hopefully this will push towards a track for the drivers there ^^Y

Haha...you know what they do to grip tapes in Japan?!?! They just drift faster and use more shittier tires in the back...

^^^ pretty much

Yeah i've already posted on this thread on a different forum, the road will still be driftable.

can they really stop ppl from drifting with something like this'?? i think ppl will just adapt like more power to over power the extra grip. they would have to put speed bumps right?

I like that!

Not a bad cost-effective idea, esp if the roads are shitty.
As said before, there aren't ways to get around drifting (if needed be).

Seems like a waste of tax payer's money to me. I am sure a few bad apples will find a way around it.

super high grip roads? Sounds like it'll make the drifting even more fun. WTF are they thinking lol.

who cares, time for bigger turbos!

They should have left the shitty road it had couple years ago before they repaved it lol

Waste of $102k :doh:

sucks for any motorcyclist who dumps it right before this nasty road surface

road rash to the bone

sounds like time attack just became huge there now

well thats one way to increase entry speeds...

wonder how it smokes?

Thats the only thing I could think of. Sideways @ 35-40mph? Or gripping @ 50+? I wonder which ones gonna be worse... :doh:

I was just thinking the same thing myself. Its kind of like when they started putting bumps on handrails and ledges to prevent skaters from grinding, usually leads to them just finding another place to do it.

Yeah I sitll can't believe you guys don't have a track. I was there a couple of years ago for buildthetrack.com event, and I thought something was going to come from it.

So far this is all I see....
Kalaeloa Raceway Park

lol love this post
lmao

hahaha wow i really thought the governement and local police werent really aware of drifters. here in the bay area, you dont really hear about this stuff, so cops arent taking any action against us. people need to stop drifting intersections and showing off.

That's crazy, sand paper lol I hope they don't start doing that here in Cali

danm well round top drive has always been a fun spot to go run at.oh well nothing has ever stopped the runs there or triangles or the pineapple field roads. This wont stop it either

Triangles got stopped for sometime. IDK if it's still patrolled. Cross-Roads you can for maybe an hour or 2 before someone comes...

sounds like risky roads

triangles has a security guard at night

Okay, that's actually kinda funny. And to be honest, cool if it works.

I mean it sucks for drifters who are either starting out or don't have enough power to break the extra traction. And even moreso because it destroys tires faster. It's just like when a new law comes out and people who don't want to abide by it have to get smarter.
