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. |

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.

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.
www.Driftunderground.com 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. |
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.

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? |

touge literally translates to "mountain"
|
Well I definatly dont recommend anyone whos new to drift to go practice on a mountain. Thats just friggin nuts.
Can anyone here drift a second gen without the rear toe eliminators? I've been tryin. Its hard. I've just been practicing using the side brake for the moment then as the rear comes around dumping the clutch at high revs. Damn thing just wont stay kicked out. |
wont stay loose
try using shittier tires. :D
actually, i have no idea what you would do, I'm just posting so I can use smileys. :D |
I was in Japan Last month for a good 3weeks and got to see some drifting.. I also got to find out the pros and the cons about drifting in Tokyo's streets versus in the Mountains(Akagi-San). Well in the city, you got the cops, although they don't do much but just blow there horn until everyone leaves. THEN the put barriers up so you can't drift no more! :( As for the Mountains, no cops to worry about although they have been adding Anti-drift compound to the road surfaces, alittle raised meadian in the road, and form of a speedbump. Then you got those curbs that come out of nowhere and bite the lower A-arm and the the crap out of it! Save drifting for a parkinglot or a roadcousre, do not try to be a Takumi.. Although funny story the guy that bent his lower A-arm had a panda bear 86, and he was doing very well then my friend went for a ride he oversteered.........
|
i have a stock rear end no toe eliminators and my car difts all day long but i also have a turboed chevy 350 on alcohol wit 20 psi so that helps ive broke like 3 rears
|
wow.ive always wanted to learn how to drift.im always heavy footed though on the fd and plus its rwd.when i had my stratus(believe it or not)(fwd)i could slide sideways and ebrake the shit out of it.
|
Hey Skunks, you still gonna take me "Togue" racing while I'm in Honolulu?? :D 2 more weeks!
|
whoa u comming to hawaii, i did not know that (either that or i totally forgot). i dont race/drift in the mountains cuz im not good enuf but I do know some people that do. I'm sticking to parking lots untill i get good enuf. Let me know when your comming and I'll hook something up.

Anyways ,yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I'm coming to Honululu in 2 weeeks!!!! I won't be drunk though so DON'T WORRY!! eheehehehhhe....here's that thread that we talked about so long ago just to give you some memory anyways, heheheheeh: https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...ghlight=skunks Sorry I'm not sober in my reply but I saw that you messaged me in the AOL thing so I answered, donnnn't worry, I won't be drun kn when we meet in Honululu!!!!

holy crap, im not taking you around in my fd if your gonna throw up all over the place haha. i think all the fd guys in hawaii will be having a cruise in about 2 weeks so it works out nicely :D
|
As you can tell I was pretty damn wasted when I typed that out, sorry for being so explicit about the details...:puke:
Anyways, I just talked to my dad and it looks like we'll be in Honolulu at the end of our trip (August 8th) instead of the beginning (July 28th). It actually works out a lot better that way though as the 8th happens to fall on Friday instead of Monday :D See if you can have them hold off the drift meet until then! heheh ;) I CAN'T WAIT!!! Cheers! Jason |
how long you gonna be here for?
