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....

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....

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

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
