October 4th is day 1 of the "fall nationals" like every year, it's drag racing, car show, stereo sound off competition, bikini contest. and this year drift exhibition. so yes anyone can go, I think it's $20 for a spectatot ticket.

ok here's what turbo said:



"October 4th is day 1 of the "fall nationals" like every year, it's drag racing, car show, stereo sound off competition, bikini contest. and this year drift exhibition. so yes anyone can go, I think it's $20 for a spectatot ticket. "



notice he mentioned drag racing at the fall nationals.



i don't want to go there and drift, i dont like the course setup i prefer more spacing between corners and what i feel would be a safer environment thn where there drift is setup, so if i get my launching down i'll go there to drag.

gee they have drag racing at etown. i said that because the title of this thread is "drift thing" https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

technically its not drifting, from what ive gathered, its gykhana, which is why there are more corners closer together as to why its called drift thing, i guess u need one to do the other. and drift is a more commonly known name. then again i know nothing at all. and ill be there burning tires also saturday, hopefully. got my old tires on, was this a good idea?? i have no clue....

vosko 10-02-2003 01:00 PM

gymkhana is timed . drifting is not. drifting is basically showing off... which is why its soo much fun. you are also supposed to show off certain techniques....

treceb 10-02-2003 01:06 PM

i thought we were being timed unofficially, since there are no prizes??

vosko 10-02-2003 02:23 PM

they don't have a timer unles you want to count 1,2,3,4,5 lol

treceb 10-02-2003 03:07 PM

ahh...so much is left to do in the car.

yes but drifting still has opposition. you go out one at a time in a close cornered track. basically you're doing a professional drifters warmup, which to me is a waste of tires, time, and work in the car.



when they open there big as road course, if they make a drift setup on it then ill drift, for now ill leave drifting to the roads i know.

i don't drift on the street which is good for my license and insurance and car but bad for my drifting skills https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png
