1) move away from spokane
2) drive to monroe/tenino/bremerton once a week

you can find drift event info on www.northwestnissans.com

95% of the rx7club population hates drifters..

there's a group of like 3-5 cars from Canada that drive down (3-4 hours) and another 3-6 cars from Oregon/Vancouver that drive north (3-4 hours)

i think you can make it!!

We 95% don't hate drifters, we hate wannabe drifters that are obvious posers. I enjoy driving sideways, but I don't dedicate myself to the sport... It's just not that exciting to me

Don't tell him that, that's just stupid advice. Then his parents will sue you after he drives through a store front, becuase you're the on whol told him to go drift there.

GL finding that elusive spot. Seriously, you will probably have to drive WAY out of the spokane limits for a spot like that, might as well drive to Bremerton. That way if you breakdown you will have people around you to help, instead of being stranged in the middle of nowhere.

I think it weird to hear 95% of us hate drifters cause the rx-7 is such a bad *** car to drift with. I can say is I hate street racers, but hey we're all entitled to our own opinion.

Hope i can get my turbo mani done in time for this, I havent really drifted my RX since last summer...and that was behind a fred meyers

Here is one of my old pullman stomping grounds. I know you are an idiot that is not ready to really drift, I know your car is not ready to drift, I know you will most likely die, but .....

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&sour...91152&t=h&z=13

Old spiral highway between pullman WA and lewiston ID. Elevation changes are amazing, gravel on the road in random spots, you are on the edge of a cliff 80% of the time, some of that does not have a guard rail, but if fun as hell. Uphill will require you have over 300 rwhp to drift it successfully, but downhill you have 4 choices: act like a pro and die, try and throw the end out all and die, act like a little girl going under the speed limit and bash up your rear quarter panels, or spend 20k on your car, practice for a year, memorize the run, and have spotters at the top and bottom of the run that will tell you people are coming. (and not die)

That is all I have found around there. It really is an amazing run, SUPER SUPER fun in the winter with chains. I have wasted WAY to many gallons of gas and sets of tires to that run. 5 years in a town that has zero entertainment except drinking gave me a lot of time to become one with my 7. and now I hate it, and all that it represents lol. :P

cool little youtube video of the run. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5j0frj2Zsgw

If you tell someone to do something illegal and they do it you can be held civilly liable, even criminally liable depending on how bad the crime was. Even just suggesting something you can be held liable.
