The event was really coo, yesterday. A lot of the people there were friends and families of a lot of the drivers.

Personally, I enjoy it and think it's fun. It's a way for me to push my car to the limits. The drag strip isn't practical for my ae 'cause it's not fast. but with the way my suspension is set up, I can easily cut the rearend loose and roast some tires.

Because my car is underpowered, I have to constantly rev it up to keep the rearend loose. As for the cost of tires, I run 14s or 15s. It's easy to find them cheap--unlike 17s and 18s that some of these bigger cars run.

Normal driving will wear out a pair anyway and they won't be any good for driving in the rain. Why not just roast 'em?

I have no intention of going pro or anything. I just love to do it. A lot of these events are grassroots. There are well-established drag strips out there where you can see how fast your car is. There's not a track out there where you can just slide around and act a donkey. Hence, these drift events. Grassroots is always here to stay.

As for abusing my car...Something breaks on the car. I replace it with something that will hold up to the abuse. It's kind of fun, but costly. You learn that a lot of the oem/factory parts can't withstand some of the things that you drive the car to do.

All in all.. it's all in fun.
