The growing world of Drift.
 

Check it out this is what the rest of the world thinks.

I am in the Japan segement......if you even care. :D

Automobile Magazine and Grip Video

I'm suprised there is no video of Hawaii guys in there, especially since grip video is based out of Hawaii (I know the guys which make that vid :D)

One thing I noticed about cali guys is that they got a huge ass tarmac to play with and they swing out like 30-50 feet past the cones. Here in Hawaii there are only about 2 lanes of traffic and you only have that much room to get sideways and the guys here are at about 60-80mph just about although the 1/8 mile straight down the 1/4 mile is about 4 lanes thick (I have ridden with some guys here and can testify that they do get to at least 65mph which is scary fast on a 2 lane road where there is pratically no run out!). The signal auto guys did come here about a week or 2 ago and were not going that fast as the hawaii guys did thru the tight corners here cuz i dont think that their owners wanted them to wreck their cars. To their credit though, they were going much much fast on the 1/8 mile striaght.

"I got my drift on. I'm in the mood...." :evilgrin:

D1 GP is coming to US this Summer right?

I hurd the same thing on speedchannel, some track in cali

It will be held in Irwindale California. There is a drivers search out there. You can run a qualifying run and if you are good enough then you can compete against the Japanese drivers.

You can find all the info you want here. D1 Grand Prix
Ranzo take a look at this.

OK I looked at that thread. Hmmm Yeah I have seen the sticker. It is a marrionette team sticker but I am not sure what the kanji says. I will ask and find out four you Aight. Personally I can only read one of the characters on it.

Thanks for your trouble. Will be waiting for your answer.:cool:

Hey Ranzo, Fujisuma answered to my thread. He said that the sticker means Asamoto style. Have a look.....Asamoto's sticker

We have drifting in the Midwest.

We just had a drift day Saturday the 6th. There are videos and pics up.

My 7 is not drifting yet. It's been a nightmare since I got it. :mad:

That isn't my 7 drifting on the May 24th video. Mine is wingless.

Llew - Does Mark S. still attend these events? If he does, please tell him JERK RACING RULES!!! :D

Hey whats goin on guys, I just wondered if you know of the closest place a drift competition will be from Florida if its Cali its OK just wondering becuase i convinced my buddy who owns the TV show on Fox sports RACERS EDGE to do a show on them.

Hey ranzo where could I get one of those videos (dvd) here in the states?

I'll field this one. ;) You can get those videos from Grip Video. They are a U.S. based company.

if you want vids which is more about drifting, get your hands on some option vids. grip video is more of a video mag. Im not saying that they are bad (cuz they arnt, its a very good video), its just that its not solely dedicated to drifting.

Yea get Option Video its a monthly video magazine that has everything about drifting.

Okay but what's with the FWD cars?

Are these guys e-braking their drifts so they can be included too? Pretty sad.

Anyone know of any good drift spots near the Atlanta area? I cant find anywhere good to practice near me and I dont know anyone else who does.

Just find a biiiig parking lot late at night. If youre good try going to your local mountains.

There aint no local mountains near me. I'm thinkin its gonna have to be an rx7 by its self in a parking lot sliding sideways

dont go touge unless your pretty good or your gonna crash your car!

Btw: you guys are using used tires/free tires to drift on right?

Isn't touge grip racing?
