Drifting

Thre was a drifting show on the 20 and 21 of September in the Go-cart track, STC in Sandakan. My bro and i went only on the second day. The time was nearing 3 and we reach thre around 5 minutes later after we left at 3. After we reach and got off the car and walked into that place, thre were cars lining up 1 by 1 in the track. Thre were Levins, classic Ae86, some Gl, a black toyota..forgotten the name and also nissan s13. Those cars were sick and some only have the looks but not really the gut to drift. Thre was also a Blue skyline we normally see without GT wing and with a black carbon fibre hood if im not wring, with a pro driver from somewhre giving us a good show. Wonder what techniques they use.....

In youtube, there is a video named ''A complete guide to drifting'' by The Drift Bible. It says ''If drifting is your religion and Keichii Tsuchiya is your god''. I think this is true...Tsuchiya is just legendary...watching his videos just makes me feel like taking up racing driving in the future instead of being a tuner or some sort myself. 1 thing is for sure that my parents and family will not support me on this.Letsbriefly about the techniques taught by the dift king himself in the video. Thre are 6 techniques all together :
1. Side Brakes(Hand brakes)
2. Shift Lock
3. Power Over
4. Braking
5. Feint
6. Accelerator Off

Watching those videos yourself may give you more knowledge than me talking here. Something are just better to watch it yourself than hearing one saying it. Thre will be a few cameras all around thre car, one will be around the footpedal, one will be in the middle, and some will be around the foot pedal place, some around outside the car and in sectors of the track.

Wonder which techniques do the drifters in here uses. Thre was 1 man dressed in full racing suit and with a cap, driving and drifting the skyline all around the track, the best drift i've seen that day. The tires were burning all the way and then after the second or third lap, the man drove the car on the opposite direction until when he reaches a corner and his tired burst..haha..That bloody tyre may cause more than some of ur tyres and rim combined. The black car also had a flat tyre and it took ages to change 1. My bro and i went back after the skyline is parking on the pit of the track cause it was getting late and thought that there will be no more drifting in that blue car. Sylvester and his brother stayed till the end and the Skyline drifted one more time and then also had a flat tyre one again.

Hmph..from that day on, im my mind is just drifting and drumming all the way..In Youtube, im just typing these words all the time..Top Gear and Touge...and of course some other drumming videos...as i want to get better..hehe.

Now, i am watching touge showdown, MAX(for cars with 500 hp and above)...its just so fantastic to watch it with a cup of beer in hand and something to munch on..HAHAHA. I am writing this now because thre was the Hachiroku Tsuchiya was drifting in and it reminded me to write about it. and i screw some of the words up thre...hope u all understand what im trying to say...
I think its enough for me today and sorry for talking so long...hehe..gotto get going and finish up the videos. See u real soon!
