street drifting gone wrong...

[scotty-2-forty]

I would have seriously been locked up for massive-road-rage-induced-full-on-vengence-of-the-relatively-violent-variety if I had been driving any of these oncoming cars ... Darwinism apparently missed this one by a hair. Wonder if technology can capture that plate?!!

Another good one. Look up their other vids on youtube. Theyre all pretty good. They even do some track/event drifting in some of them.

First of all I agree with the fact that if there is any traffic really what so ever you should not be attempting to drift on the street. However, I am not going to sit here and lie by saying I've never broke the rear end loose on a rainy day pulling a u-turn or gone out to a snow covered parking lot. At the same time though if you are going to do something stupid for the love of god you better at least have some semblance of an idea of what you are doing. If you are that guy who attempts his first drift in the middle of a damn intersection in the city or a highway on or off ramp etc then you my friend are an idiot.

On a second note I think just about everyone who has posted in this thread being so self righteous needs to stop and really think about it. Just because you dont want to tarnish your "reputation" or get flamed doesnt mean you should be a total hypocrite. If you all were strapped to a polygraph and asked whether or not you have ever raced light to light, or in general on the street, ran it into triple digits on the highway, drifted on public roads etc, I am sure that a rather large percentage of you either have or still do some or all of the above. We don't buy the cars we own and build them up the way we do to the point where they make 300+ WHP and then go and grandma them everywhere on the road. You just don't. Now Im not saying everyone who owns a tuned car drives irresponsibly all the time but I damn sure am willing to bet you do more than you are all willing to admit.I'd also love to see a no lie count of how many people here have actually ever gone to a track or participated in an auto cross, etc.

yeah thats a great way to do it at the traCK and thats a wonderful video. but come on, who here has the money and resources calvin does?
he may be a privateer and talk as if he has no money and limited resources but i dont think hes from where im from man.
now dont take this comment as supprtive to the street shenanigans like in the previous vids because its not.

Cant agree with you more man. I play on the streets and have no problem admitting it. I am very responsible with it and make sure if I f*** up it's only ME that I'm hurting. And I've gotten ALOT more responsible about it over the years.

And I personally cant stand when somebody with no clue what they are doing tries to drift in traffic or even in a place thats easy to wreck and do damage in. I hate seeing a good 240 pointlessly gone to waste as much as I hate seeing other people get caught up in their stupidity.

We all make our mistakes and being responsible about it is how you keep them from costing you any more than they have to. The streets are a very dangerous place, ESPECIALLY if you don't know what your doing.

[badbob2121]

ok no one here said they have never played on the street and havent done supid sh*t

but were saying that we have realized that it just isnt worth the damage and risk, and one day you will understand too..


i also wanted to add that i created this thread to see people doing stupid sh*t and video taped it, if i must remind you...

Thankyou! Some people just don't get it.

[Maverick05x]

No I do get it, and I do understand, lol. I am a grown a** man and my days of driving like a hooligan are pretty far behind me. Not to say I don't get a little heavy footed now and then. I have also spent a good amount of time out on the track seeing as there are 3 major circuits close to where I live. I just hate it when everyone gets so self righteous and condescending as if they are just model citizens when it comes to them driving on the streets.

I'm sure "all" of us have some sort of history on the streets - from the occassional 'heavy foot' to the downright careless speed-demons. I mean face it, anybody that has a performance car and drives it like a grandma, shouldn't have it in the first place (for various reasons). As Badbob stated, the thread was created to see people doing stupid sh*t ... key word, "stupid". Humans live and learn; it's a natural trait. Yes, we all like to find a place to be surly sometimes.

I have autocrossed a lot, drag and road course raced in sanctioned events and I owned a speed shop in the past. Our drag car performed professionaly in 99-02, so I've been around a "lot" of stupidity ... both on and off the track. Will I preach that I am a model citizen? No ... but I'm definitely not a model idiot, nor a nominee for the Darwin Awards. As an advocate for safety, and having seen the damage that street "stupidity" can do (and losing two friends fatally because of it), I won't stand aside and listen to the idiots that post something about "residential" drifting (assuming that was meant as aggressive driving in an occupied neighborhood), nor condone these bimbos that video their own lack of better judgement on open public roads with innocent by-standers. My example was the video of the BMW drifting all the way around the on-ramp and narrowly missing several cars ... unacceptable.

BTW, many people here have shared their "been there done that" situations. One would like to think that by sharing those 'not so smart' times, that they are educating others. So I don't see in this thread anyone being righteous and condescending model citizen ... however the right thing to do is to educate the ones (young or older) about the dangers they are imposing on others and themselves.

So in general I always say take it to the track, strap on a helmet and your harness and wreck it there ... not on the streets where our families drive.

on the general topic of cars crashing, here is my buddy crashing his BMW. It was at a 1/2 mile stock car track. Sometimes they have "spectator drags" where they let people go out with their personal cars before the night of stock car racing and race from the begining of turn 3 to the end of turn 2, just for fun. didnt work out for him this time
