Where do you guys go to practice in? Who puts on the track days? I know of Just Drift, but they don't have any days listed. Thanks!

yeah i want to learn/practice while i still have my FC. Just tonight i went to this empty parking lot but its a block away from a police station. I was paranoid so i left. A track and instructor would be nice and fun..

this is one they hold in san diego where i live. the last turn out lacked cars but had a great turnout for whoever participated. my friend in his s13 put in about 75 runs the whole day which is pretty damn great. right now their trying to find a place to do it at because the stadium ppl bitched and complained about a crack in the floor that was worsened due to the drifting so now theres a big hole and they dont want to have it there anymore. ill keep you guys updated on what happens.

Well I you want to do it on the track, there is: drift day, drift buffet, and land ho.net. as for street I know some people and myself that go to industrial areas because the roads are wide. but police crack down on spots if they get to popular.

What are the buffet and drift day ect... Where do I sign up? And when do we go?

Driftbuffet.com has a event on the 9th it might be to late to sign up. but i think it's kool to watch i'm not sure. Driftday.com has events at California Speedway, they have pro's help out the noobs and there is also information on up and coming events.

You just come over and i'll show you how to drift But yeah i've been to a few drift days and they're very very helpful, they do tend to fill up quickly mainly from the 240 crowd so you have to know when registration opens. Never been to those drift buffet events, i'll try to get one after i slap my lsd on though.

i have been wanting to go to a track to drift or even run it, theres a track event on Jan 22 i believe i'll keep it updated. When i wanna drift i just go up to the montions or a parking lot or just street turns at night when theres no one around but i really really wanna goto a track

xzyras

What parking lot do you drift in? Without getting into trouble? Very dangerous to do a full out drift on the street. You guys are braver than me I'll give you that...

Dude, I have been watching mad Initial D videos. What canyons do we have in So Cal so I can get crazy sideways.


Also, where can I get some Redsuns stickers?

xzyras

Dec 9th practice day. There no info on it. Anyone know anything about it? Can the noobs go? And what we need to bring ect...

RE Drifter: are you signed up for that event?

RE Drifter: are you signed up for that event?

I'm not signed up because I got a blown engine as of now and no LSD.
but that will change soon. It's been to long since I've gotten sideways.
When I get my kar together I'll take you drifting with me xzyras & whoever else wants to go..

xzyras

Yeah guys let me know when you go. Grip is still fun but I think its time to slide.

Fumanchu

I was being serious.



You guys mind if I bring a few buddies? Wait until you see what a Crown Vic can do in the twisties.

Did somebody say drift practice?

Come on Fu, let the nitwits have their fun. By this time next week, there could be some cheap car parts - provided they don't kill everyone in LA, Orange, and Riverside counties

In case I forget to mention it, random acts of stupidity (drifting) should never be performed in Santa Clarita. It's not that we don't appreciate this particular art form, it's just that studies have shown that people who engage in this type of behavior are occasionally* lacking in insurance.

*Occasions such as whenever they have to pay for something they're responsible for ruining.

If I do happen to drift on the street i'm not going to be a dummy about it. I wasn't really talking about doing it on the street if you read I talked about pratice events on the track. But I do wonder what the streets are like in Santa Clarita, are there any wide streets. I'll Manji all day

Marcus_F

Someone once told me that if you throw a brick in a pack of dogs, it's the one that got hit that does all the barking.

If you read all the posts you'll see that an inquiry was made about practicing somewhere other than a track. Not that anyone here believes the majority of drifters rent a track for a day for "practice".

If you feel so inclined, come on up to Santa Clarita. We have nice, wide 50 MPH roads and plenty of canyons. Demographics show residents to be be primarily in the law enforcement profession. That, and the local Sheriff LOVES folks from out of town. Don't believe the rumors, there's always room for one more at "The Inn". If there are space issues, I'm sure the Honor Ranch will handle overflow.

dont forget the magic mountain parking lot. thats a good one...if you want your car wraped around a pole
