first day of drifting-how was your experience?

[nzmoman]

My first experience was without an lsd in a 92 hatch 5spd. I hit a curb and wobbled my car home. because I needed to get it fixed and the lower control arm was jacked I drove it in the rain, road was wet and alignment was horrible. I worked at a dealership in Atl at the time. Luckily the parts only cost me about 50 bucks. The install was free, but I had to purchase two new front tires because the ones I had on the car overheated and the tread belts were separating. Overall that experience cost me about 250+dollars, but I only practice during local events and I still dont do that much.

Now I have a daily and a track car... it works out better that way,

.....lay of the kid, he hasn't grow past Fast and the Furious yet. He may still think that you can downshift into 4th gear while redlining in 6th and it will give you a jolt of acceleration, but I hope not!

I was delivering tofu for my daddy

my first was on the street. sorry guys but they just don't have any events around here. well in NC they do but not where i live. anyway on to the details. i found an unihabited road about a mile from my house. it's only around 1/4 of a mile and it has 1 gentle curve that leads into a very sharp curve in the same direction. at the end there is a cultesac so it's easy to turn around and try it the other way. haha, there are so many black skids on the road it's hard to believe someone hasn't ventured down there and called the cops. well, i guess i'll just have to keep looking over my shoulder. ps - are there any other drifters in SC? hit me up. peace

my first real practice was at my work where me and my friend were cleaning out a buidling to be demolished...we got permission from the county to drift this turn...biggest mistake...learning to ebrake drift around a turn with a curb...i was doing good till i didnt brake enough and went straight into the curb...i got a bent tension rod and control arm with a crappy helping of bent wheel and ef'd fender...suspenion to fix cost...$325...dender and wheel not fixed figure about 250$ to fix...no more drifting till another nasa event keep it on the track for the safety of everyone and for your own good will

and just because your at a track doesnt mean this still wont happen...http://videos.streetfire.net/c...D.htm

take your time and learn right

[irax]

its hurts to see that, that video is still alive. i saw that happen in person while talking to the event cordinator. it sucks big time when that happens.

my first drifting experiance was in my dads ford explorollerover, never rolled it and got used to how to controll delicate weight ballence. From there a year later after blowing crashing in grip race and then blowing a motor in a s13, i got a s14 and first track drift experiance 80mph entry wide left hander OMG that is what i live for, that and doing irwindale events with the d1 course.

my first "Drifting" experience was last night. I took the car down the road to a friends farm and just took it around the dirt dead end turn around thing at the end of their lane (private property, know the people, not "street" drifting) just mashed the gas in 2nd, and tried to control it. ultimaltely it went well!

[~4N~]

My first time I only flipped twice, it was awesome!

[PantherRacer]

Clutch going in soon. Stories to ensue.probbably just going to do donuts though. we don't have a track and I really don't trust trees, or my lack of exp. with RWD.

FWD in dirt/etc. is predictable but no indicator of what RWD will do. or how the turbo will kick in....or how much times I will apply the wrong amount of throttle.....hoo boy.

[boj240]

first time i went drifting was great... scared *** hell but it was an experience... love drifting love auto x...

[marshun]

my first experience...uhhh...wow that was a long time ago. lol. i think like 7 years ago now.

[exode]

good luck with drifting though!

oh yeah, my first expierience was trying to hit a yellow arrow when I was first learning stick so I wouldnt have to start in first gear Now that was fun!

[sprintman]

My first time was when i was 14. it was my first time racing a mini sprint and was a hell of a lot of fun. it may be on dirt but its all the same.
