Fact: First recorded time that drift was predominatly used in a sanctioned race, that race was not a drift race. In 1984 Keiichi Tsuchiya won a Japanese formula 3 race using drifting alone, but he has been quoted to say that "I drift not because it is a quicker way around a corner, but it is the most exciting way".

sddrift is an idiot on the internet. but sad to say, he was the only one on here to attent and compete in a drift event.(I am in no way saying he is a BA drifter, but he at least has competed in a event. That right there gaving him more knowledge on actual drifting then anyone on this forum)

FACT: because he competed in an event does not give him more knowledge than any other person who did not attend an event. A road is a freakin road and it does not matter if there are cones set up in a vacant lot in South Dakota. I seem to remember some tofu driver who never saw the likes of a track and went on to become one of the greatest.:icon_thumleft:

This message brought to you by someone who knows absolutely nothing about drifting, touge, any sort of mountain pass downhill race, nor have I read or watched anything produced by OPTIONS or in any way do I condone drifting in a sanctioned event. Thank You and have a nice day.

Sorry - I was thinking of the in-car WRC footage you see. Those have hand brake handles that are right up next to the steering wheel. Obviously different classes/preparation levels have different restrictions.

it could also be the shifter for the trans too. ive seen some that are that high up and right next to the steering wheel so they dont have to move so much

No shit. But, how many would ever even do it(actually)????? the number is less the 15, if not closer to 10.

There's only one thing stopping me, that's my weak ass rear diff. The bean is easy to get sidewayz and hold it there. Not that I'm any sort of "pro drifter"..... not even close but that car makes it sooo easy to do.

Fact: People on this site that claim that drifting is easy as hell..... are just dumb.
Fact: Sliding on Ice is not drifting, or anywhere close, no matter how similar they appear to be.
Fact: Just because I have 240s does not mean I am a building it to be a drifter.
This is it for now.
QFT!!

Fact: Drifters (pro drifters, not sddrift) tend to make really really good grip racers since they tend not to freak out when their car goes into a slide around a corner. Instead they tend to react in a correct manner.
