we could go to mcd's and steal some trays for the fwd cars!
HAHA one time, we lifted my buddies hyundai accent up and put mcdonalds trays under his front wheels(in the school parking lot) and he spun out for like 20 minutes until he figured out what happened -

i agree with you on that one. -
i don't think having a "drift event" would be a good idea around here. it doesn't seem like anyone (that i have seen) understands the concept of true drifting... they just consider losing traction and sliding to be drifting.
whoo! i can drift across the icy parking lot in my civic! i can't control it, but i'm drifting!
i'm not sure what else to suggest that would help to further the scene, but i think that a sliding contest would give the wrong impression -

not even worth trying if you don't have RWD. You will lose.

I have what I would suspect to be a great drifting car but I don't know if I'm prepaired to put it through that sort of abuse. And if you don't think it's abusive look at some of the cars that slip up even the least little bit. It's a great idea but I cant afford to replace my tires after a track day.

what he said -
if some sort of drift event were to be set up, i would like to see some sort of mid-sized curve used... perhaps even a series of curves. obviously it would have to be in a parking lot, so cones would be involved. before any event could be held, a method of judging would have to be developed, which opens another can of worms... but if it could be done well, with emphasis on really drifting, i would like to see it. finally, something to put the children in their place

i imagine being good at it on ice isnt gunna matter much once you get on pavement.. is it?unlikely.
I'd love to do it just to be able to get out and push the car just past the limit... But I'd never able to compete (hell, with an open differential I'm not sure I could even get the back end to do what I want)....

3:27 Trac-lokI beleive the Trac-lok unit was only standard on the supercoupes and possibly the sports.
I am a true 1 tire-fryer (although I've gotten good at getting both to go up consistently out on the desolate highways)
