Ke50 Posted August 29, 2005 Report Posted August 29, 2005 haha yes, but without the laws or gravity, suspension and handling theory the wouldnt eb able to drift in the first place :D
wyldephyre Posted August 29, 2005 Report Posted August 29, 2005 "Rear end"... "Sliding"... the jokes just write themselves....
wilson_610 Posted August 29, 2005 Report Posted August 29, 2005 yes i agree the drift sceen is getting bigger every day and some of the drifters have there head jamed so far up there arse that ... well u can guess the rest, but the drift is the new thing, it will either die in the butt or will thrive. my point is that all the people with ther head up somewhere make EVERYone else look bad. one more good thing, u done need a monaro to win the drift, u can use a stock corolla and take out the day, and piss off A LOT of ricers in there rice burners.
Ke50 Posted August 29, 2005 Report Posted August 29, 2005 Well they obviously don't require a brain either... my bad for the spelling haha. u can use a stock corolla and take out the day amen to that. if anyone has the High Performance Imports V3 & V4 dvd then you would have seen the purple KE70 (model with round headlights) that has a 4age in it and drifts like a champion. that made me want to buy a KE70 haha. has pretty crazy suspension. anyway, despite all the people who act like fools and are associated with drifting, it is fun getting a car sideways for prolonged periods of time, which is why a majority of people would do it i suspect. its even more fun when you are on a farm in a rusty old datusn 1600 that isnt yours :D
Corolla_Kid Posted August 29, 2005 Report Posted August 29, 2005 Lol i drifted round a round-about today. totally by accident too. First time ive had my car on the road in the wet. It just started sliding out. I don't drive like a dick on the roads either.
Super Jamie Posted August 29, 2005 Report Posted August 29, 2005 nor do i, but there's a reason i will only ever own rear wheel drive cars :D
Super Jamie Posted August 29, 2005 Report Posted August 29, 2005 i don't think there's anything wrong with learning to control a car on the street, as long as it's out of harm's way. they stop us from having racetracks and supervised motorsport meets, what do they expect?
Ke50 Posted August 29, 2005 Report Posted August 29, 2005 well i suppose everything can be considered a learning curve. althought the track would be ideal place to learn the handling limits of your car etc. if you happen to find these things out on the road, whether by accident or purpose, it could be taken positively or negatively. positive that you know a little bit more about the type of conditions that it could happen in again. and negative that you could end up in a pole because of it. sp maybe more tracks is the answer (not just ones in the brisbane area, gold coasters need some too :D) so that the drifters can drift and the grip racers can...grip race in a safe environment....well safer than what they could have done it in.
Super Jamie Posted August 29, 2005 Report Posted August 29, 2005 we had the chief of the rescue squad here, a very well known responsible townsperson with a long-standing well-know local business, put forward a proposal to council to have some old piece of road that nobody uses blocked off once a month for legal drags. under full, free, supervision of the SES and they knocked it back. if he can't get it through, what chance do we have? the speedway spent 10 grand building a burnout pad, only to have it shut down after the first meet because people complained about the smoke and noise more tracks is the answer. more driver training is the answer. but nooooo, more speed cameras and every k over is a killer ads and revenue raising is the name of the game. f@$k that
Ke50 Posted August 29, 2005 Report Posted August 29, 2005 haha yea especially when they can't get them right. that standard datsun getting caught doing 160kph hahah what a joke. surely they could open up their cold hearts and build one out in woop woop like QR, fairly remote from housing but not hours drive from anywhere. and on the coast somewhere. :D
Ruts Posted August 29, 2005 Report Posted August 29, 2005 a freakin military airport sporting jet powered aircraft There is one of them right next door too - bet they don't shut THAT down ....
Ke50 Posted August 29, 2005 Report Posted August 29, 2005 i can't imagine the uproar that would occur if QR was shut down. think about the v8 supercar races and club events like the drift nationals that are held there. its queensland premiere and only track that is open still.
Ruts Posted August 29, 2005 Report Posted August 29, 2005 but it is still bordering on being shut down due to poor access and rising costs
dysolve Posted August 29, 2005 Report Posted August 29, 2005 just a quick question. I was told that drifting was begun by a group of failed rally drivers is this true??? it sound like it could be true.. maybe i should ask mythbusters LOL
Ke50 Posted August 29, 2005 Report Posted August 29, 2005 apparently it originated from japan and started as 'drift racing', which is drifting while trying to get the quickest time round the track. this is keichi tsuchiya's claim to fame i believe. don't quote me on that.
