just visited there and thought about what it would be like 2 drift these roads.. damn this sucks

lol...love this

hahaha I kno right!

Lol.

Damn, I chose a great time to be stationed in Hawaii... No track, only event is Auto-X at Aloha, and they don't have even have practice days...

This also seems like another one of those cases where the rich people get to spend state/federal money on something useless.

YouTube - Street Drifting at Aja Port, Okinawa Japan
Thats exactly what they do.
Skip to about 1min in

Wow. Hmm, the one benefit is it helps to a little bit more traction to cars that aren't drifting in the rain. It sucks that they can't just use that money to open up a track or something. Kind of reminds me of how some places added some anti skateboarding stuff.

i hate the government. waste of money like everything else im moving out of this place once im able to.

I can relate to this. We either a) find a new spot or b) if the spot is irresistible we just remove the skate blockers or bondo some cracks/bumps/holes and just put some wax on the ledge and skate it again. Unless you completely destroy/remove it we'll keep comming back and skating it because we love what we do. :p

So, in this case just use some shitty bald tires and wax the ground and spray some pam on them wheels. :hahano:

Where theres a will, theres a way gents. I do wish they would give the HI guys a track, but nothing beats late night road carving.

what ronald regan is back lol, its just as bad as the goverments idea of star wars!=p

not against the street drifting here, but i would like to know where mr ROOSEY is contemplating on moving to if not america?

the real work around for this is
start drifting before the extra grippy patches

Is this for serious? lol

I bet if you go earlier in the day and drop some dirt. let cars run it over and spread it around all day it would be good to go.

wait till the superferry starts going interisland again:D

The solution to street drifting is a public track that is opened at all times, just swipe your credit or debit card and you're in, aww its nice to dream. Lol...This sucks..

man thats crazy, i visited maui and wanted to drift the road to hana in my buick i rented hahahaha

Is drifting even enough of a public nuisance?

I may live in Ohio, but I've traveled extensively throughout at least 2/3 of the states in the US, and I've never actually seen street drifting in real life.

It is in low-lying mountainous areas.

^ hahaha high-lying mountainous areas as well; do some google maps of mountain roads in Colorado, you'll Nutt in your pants!!

I see we have rocket scientist in our hands.:s101:

^ damn right,

I posted the link earlier, but here is a video of how you go about getting around the patched area. Around 1min in.



Watching this brings back childhood memories haha, this industrial area is near kinser and I used to actually hear this at night. It's what I went to sleep to, and a big reason why drifting interests me so much. /endcoolstory

i live in hawaii and if they actually do that then i think its really stupid, what a waiste of government money

bwahahahaha!
soooo the drifters are just gonna drift faster and therefore crash faster, and the gripp drivers are gonna go ape shit. I wish they did this on the east coast!

I'm glad I live in Australia, what a waste of ca$h!

^^In brisbane this stuff is popping up everywhere, though it isnt for drifters just spastic drivers who cant take corners in the wet...

these grip roads sound fun...no matter what they do they cant stop illegal street action lol

i heard about this a while ago never thought they would go through with it!!!! i moved off the islands just before hrp shut down. and im guessing aloha stadium isnt holding events anymore.....?........ kolekole pass!!!! we can dream! [this is a curvy ass road that runs from central to west oahu]... the only option i see is to build the track!!!!!

we have a couple of roads here in ireland with that shite on the corners.

they didnt put them there because of drifters but of bad drivers crashing there.

alls good in the very few spots we can drift in though.

looks like hawaii drifters are going to be doing some balls out sideways from now on :yum:
