But still the cops out here are big assholes. thell yell at ya, but they wont take you in. Parking lots is the thing i would have to use i know that and i have noting wrong with them too. It works, but i was hopeing that there would be at least one out here.

But i guess they sould have to get rid of golf courses and use that empty space, it would be the most perfect thing that could happen, (also being that i have a golf corse right across the street from my house). I wonder how i could make that happen.

It would be the coolest............Ill be back in a little wile..........

Build a track in your back-yard and you'll be set. Otherwise.... no! Look into maybe traveling for a Drift Day someday, somewhere... I have nothing against illegal drifting as long as people aren't all stupid. There has to be organization and some degree of safety involved. Although I no longer condone illegal drifting (because most kids out there are stupid) that's where all the magic started... on the public streets. Don't get stupid out there though!

Yeah im not one of those types i do it cause i have plans in the future ( and it's not to get human booster shots from a guy named molley) i would like to be a professional one day and with out the track ill have to practice my house is near a dead end that also has its pros and cons.

but thats the last thing i want my ride taken away because some of the cops out here will do that.

so just be smart with it and be sure to be safe are some of my rule if any one wants to drift with me at night (people who drift and live near me)

yes.. i've had my experiences with cops and parking lots. I'd say the only way to practice is to attend autoX events that also have drift categories.

the only thing i have to say is...the problem with parking lot drifting....is you dont learn to control your car properly, i watched a video clip of some parkinglottype event with a cone course, and obviously american drivers..and it was SHAMEFUL the course was like the beaches of normandy for cones. you have alot more pushing you not to screw up if you learn on roads/track, not just an embarassing laugh from your friends. all i have to say is man we suck compared to the guys in japan. lol, but hey do it where ya can man...

Hey that is right, but us americans do have the ability to learn. We can do anything. What was the car, Was it FF FR or MR. Just wondering because no drift for the FF cars.

They also have places to practice... like dedicated drift tracks. And since Japan is about the size of California... all of it's tracks are concentrated, thus they are easier to get too.

The United States is pretty big in comparison... and all of it's tracks are spread out. The majority of it's tracks are 1/4 style tracks or Ovals... So... us Americans have a ways to go before it's mainstream enough to get us the track time.

But we're getting there... slowly but surely.

Someday we will be with the Japans and we would be able to smoke them, later like they smoke us now, but some people are natural drifters and can smoke the Japs. Someday we will be good at it...(Wish I could Drift)
