To be or not to be is the question.

Hello fellow drifters-

I've been only drifting 4 months. First with a BMW 325 and now with my S14 (KA24, Tein HE, Cusco bars, 17's). I've been drifting in certain areas where I know traffic and curbs are not a problem and at only 2 past events (Streets of Willow and Irwindale). I must admit that every time I participate in an event I learn so much. Learning to adjust my suspension and messing with tires and increasing my drift speed is awesome. Having just 4 months of experience with drifting and many years of grip driving.... I feel that drifting is the ultimate form of control. So with just my 4 months of experience I've signed up for the Drift Clinic in hope to learn as much as possible and have the best time. I mean how many people can say they love being in control of something that is out of control....guess what? Me.
Some may or may not want to par take in this wonderful opportunity for many reasons (no lsd, cash, tech, scared, what people think). The opportunity to enter this event is to learn. Learning to drift from pros is rare. Anybody that loves to drift should enter and have fun. Even if it means entering in the intermediate class, you still have the chance to have fun and learn at the same time.

Living life not risking is risking not living life

FYI, 3/2 is a Sunday, not Saturday... W/ that said, I like to acknowledge the things and points brought up about drifting. I am no expert, but am personally tired of ppl arguing about grip/drift on every forum I visited(w/ exceptions of maybe the FF forums). It's not everyday you see someone who's had experience w/ grip and willingly give a try to drift. And all too often the grippers that had not had the chance(or not willing) to try drift and understand what it involves. I am glad there are ppl out there that are open minded and understand that grip/drift really goes hand in hand. Knowing how to drift(pushing car to a limit) will enhance grip driving, knowing grip(the correct lines, and the point of the car's limit) will help becoming a better drifter. W/ the modest attitude toward both aspect of driving style, I believe one will be able to become the driver that one wants to be... Be it a hardcore drifter, or weekend track warrior. And lastly, see you on Sunday, not Saturday.
