DGTrials at E-town (drifting)
So... after getting a harness bug (grounded power wire) that killed my car for a night and a morning, trying a new ECU, picking up some spare wheels and tires, and finally debugging my harness section by section.... I took my hdSPL S14 out to go drifting at my first sanctioned drift event with dgtrials.com .
My setup for the day: 7psi 215/45/R17 FM901's on 17x7 rims up front 215/55(?)/R15 Yoko all-seasons on 15x6.5 M30 wheels in back Unknown tire pressures.... First off: all-seasons in back with summer tires up front = mad amounts of oversteer..... Secondly: 7psi = mad amounts of power- on- oversteer..... The event was very fun! There were a few good drifters there (the guys that ran the event basically) that put on a few exhibitions. I heard a couple of them made the trek down to vegas for the D1 stuff previously. Anyways.... I had 6 total runs, 2 of which were unclean, my first and last. My first run I spun twice... being very suprised by the severe lack of grip from the all-season tires (although I should've expected that). After that I was able to get the hang of staying sideways and linking turns... eventually getting to the point where I think I was pretty much at opposite lock through the tighter turns swinging right over to opposite lock on the next turn (video to come as soon as I get something to play the tape I stole of the runs ). I had applause on my 2nd to last run. That felt reeeaaally good. Then I spun at the beginning and end of the last run, but my last spin was a good smoke show anyways, so it's all good. I really can't wait to do this again!! Some crappy pics of mine and Kookz's 2nd runs can be found here: http://pj.240sxone.com/gallery/drifting01

i drove in that event (2nd car on the track ) that course rocked very fast very smooth i like that back lot alot better. only thing that sucked about the day was the 90 plus heat all day and getting to the gates 2 hours before they open (3rd in line)
but other than that great event cant wait till the last wendsday of next month
