wheels and tires for drifting

Apollo8642 · 07-23-2013, 11:59 AM

Drifting = wrecking (at some point yes) If you are really drifting you will put it into a wall, curb, barrier, or another car or another car into you at some point it's a given. No one is that good where they don't, or your just another wannabe and your not doing it right.

(I don't know you or anything but I'm just saying, so don't take offence please)

It's not if you wreck it's when you wreck in drifting on the track or on the street more likely on the street, and doesn't matter the car you drive or the tires you run on it or how well it's setup. It maybe a body panel or a totalled out car but it will happen.

I was hardcore into drifting for about 13 years, and helped put on one of the first event here in Oregon, I speak from lots of experience, both as driver and a supporter.

Here are some fun videos of people doing it right and failing, enjoy.

I gotta say, it's kinda surprising that a guy who've been drifting for 13 years says "don't drift your car, you'll wreck it". It's like "don't have sex, you might get AIDS", "don't drink vodka, you might embarrass yourself in public", etc.

Just give me some credit (even if you don't know what i can or can't do) and instead of telling me "don't do it", help me do it right.

I've actually participated in drifting events (amateur level) for quite some time now, and i only do it in safe places, not in the street.

I'll try your suggestions from before.
