Drifting to a win!
 

Ok all my life i have atleast gone down this road 1 time a wekk sense i was like 2.
So it is safe to assume that i know exactly how fast i can go on this road. the road is about 1 mile and its got lots of mountain like turns on it.
speedlimit= 35
shugestid turn speed= 25

I was coming back from school, feeling great to be 10 minits from home, i was trying to get acrost a lane to get on this road the idiot in the civic is behind me at a dead stop. All of a sudden he drives on worng side of road to get to this road i discribed above. reving and burning out the hole way. ok so i was pissed how dare he!
So i guned it lost a little traction in tires but caught up to him because he slowd to 30 aroun the first turn. i was tralling him most of the way tell he tryd to drift the road and almost wrecked. I drift the road every day coming back from school so i know what im doing. ok i e-brake turn right to load springs then hard leftdrifting arounbd the turn at 40! all he saw was my tires in smoke and my car sideways passing him!!!!!!!!! I love Drifting . But i also have a question! What over coil/spring set up tires/ swaybar ect.. is best for this stile of racing??? Money is not an issue because i save up for these mods. I dont by stickers!!! hahahaha

this is why kids shouldn't be allowed to drive until they are 21+


I haven't seen you on much but you're not making a real strong impression.

i'm only 20 and i know better than to be doing shit like that but then again it took a $300 reckless driving ticket for me to realize how stupid it was. i'd say 18 would be a good age to start driving.

yeah, maybe the age thing isn't as important as the maturity level. I think the testing should be a lot stricter. I only had to take a written test and drive the cop down to the nearest subway for a breakfast sandwhich.

well here in PA it's gotten stricter. i had to pass a written test to get my permit. after obtaining the permit you had to wait 6 months before taking the driving test. all driving while having only a permit had to be done with a person over 21 and had to be recorded. you had to have so many hours of driving in inclement weather, highway, parking, etc... however it would be nice if the maturity level was brought into play but unfortunately thats not practical. i don't think raising the age level of when you can start driving would help. i know some 30 year olds who have the maturity level of a twelve year old.

true....back to the lesson at hand....this kid needs to grow up.

notice the ever impressive "money is no object" line....uh huh, thats why you're driving a 93 protege!!

definately needs to grow up and hopefully does before he hurts himself or other people

So...you e-brake this turn everyday? In traffic and stuff?


p.s. e-brake "drifting" is not a STYLE OF RACING mmmkay.

LOL, i'm young (19), and stupid, but i never do things liek that.... yeah i race here n there, i got kill stories in this section..... but comeon man...

if money was no object.... and u like 'REAL' drifting, you shoulda gotten a RWD car.... i woulda gone with an FC3S (hopefully next year i will have enough to get mine, but then again, i'm saving for college, and helping to pay my parents bills too, so maybe not)

but you coulda gotten a 240sx, which are also excellent drift cars..... and what roddimus said about the money no object thing is true....

also man..... you may know this road liek the back of ure hand.....but you never know what other drivers might do....

i know...... and i've been really lucky

example..... i'm coming pretty fast down a road.....the guy coming in the opposite direction of me wants to turn left omto a road (his left) (so he has to cross my path to do it) he sees me coming super fast..... but still goes to do the turn (and does it really slowly) i slam on the brakes, and when he hears my brakes squeel.... u knwo what he does..... he slams on his brakes.... STOPPING RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME IN MY PATH....what an idiot..... so i have to release the brakes.... i swertve around him, and to make things worse theres a car behind him....so then i swerve around that car..... i was so fu**ing lucky, that it aint even funny.... i'm also lucky that the protege handles really well....

that experience taught me that nto only was i doing stupidness by driving so fast.... but other people are idiots, and they can cause accidents too.... and i risked the lives of my 2 friends who were in the car with me..... we were all scared shitless there....we thought we were gonna hit....

now take ure situation.... i dunno how many lanes this road ure racing on is.... but i'm gonna say 2 alnes (one in each direction/ cuz ure description made it seem that way)

your drifting past the civic, who essentially failed his drift..... so ure in the oncoming traffic lane.... now what if there was a car coming that u didn't see, because ure goign around a turn..... crazy accident right there, which u might not have lived through..... or the civic driver coulda done some stupid shit that causes an accident in front of you..... your going fast.... so you may not have enough time to avoid..... and u may get into the accident....

anyway man.... just some advice.... even though i think i'm stating to get confusing... lol.... but man just be careful, and don't do stupid shit.....

drift in empty parking lots at night if you really wanna keep on drifting.... somewhere where if anything happens.... you will not invlove other cars and people.... (but u shouldn't be doing that either)(police don't allow it, so you can get a ticket)

i really don't knwo what i'm talking about no more lol.... anyway, good kill i geuss

sounds like an intelligent one doesn't he? :rolleyes:

[speaking from experience\]yes and they don't seem to like it very well and give very large wreckless driving tickets for it[/speaking from experience] be smart. do it where its safe and allowed

One MORE (PIG PILE! :))

Please don't do that again.

I hope the lesson was learned - this is FOR REAL. How do you live with knowing your next stunt cost the life of the mom and her three kids coming the other way? The honduh was stoopid to goad you into driving recklessly, but would not have paid a cent to help fix your car or stand up in court and take the blame... Nope. You would be owned.

I am just as guilty of considering (because i NEVER WOULD Officer!) drag race from a standing start at a light and get to the speed limit (or close to it) as quick as lil' zoom'll take me or speed through a curve with grace and aplomb because I CAN go faster than the honduh (or saturn or...) while STILL IN CONTROL when safe to do so.

Know when to race. Know when to back off. That is wisdom.

What is worth dying for? Ask yourself. Where will you go when you die? How do you know?

-peace.

When I own my own parking lot i'll make sure the kids have a place to do their burnouts and "drift". Police can't say anything if it's on private property with owners permission.

actually you're wrong(can't believe i just wrote that). if it's causing a disturbance they can put a stop to it and/or issue a citation.

what does that have to do with anything? a country road with no on on it??? you're on it and the guy driving the civic is on it. whose to know if there wasn't somebody else on that country road coming around the corner while you're driving like damn idiot. think about it! what you did was stupid no matter how you look at it.
