    it came from both. but more from rr/ax since its done on pavement. it takes no skill to get sideways on dirt. lol

    Road rally is kind of like road racing, in a way, the cars were not rally based cars. BUT were there any real tracks at the time? I am betting a road course was made for sure before a special rally stage was ran.

    Seems to me in rallying after the apex the nose of the car is pretty much pointed to where the car is going (or that's the point), whereas in drifting you're still trying to get as much sideways action, two different things. But I'm neither the rally nor the drift expert.

    Rally def played a roll in drifting, feint is not even the origional name Scandinavian flick ftw.

    You ever watched rallying? In tight sections the back end is always out. Sideways in high speed sweepers, etc. Watch group B videos for the best effect

    Drifting stemmed from rally racing, but it's a more exaggerated effect of course.

    it's not the car getting hurt we worry about, it's the drivers . the way barnesville is setup there is potential for disaster if someone gets overconfident and launches off of the banking. generally someone brand new to the sport would avoid a spot like that on the track and all will be well, but some people feel compelled to do what their buddy just did for bragging rights instead of being smart and keeping within their skill level.

    other than that spot i wouldn't say the track is unsafe, just a slow course.

    no ones going to give up a good spot. doesn't matter because a drift event is the single best thing you can do to improve your driving. check the events and competition areas for event threads.

    you definetly have to find your own spot and keep it a secret. if a particular area gets

    too many ppl sliding around there, then the cops start camping there. there are a few

    places i can go where i wont get harrased, but just drive around and LOOK, you will

    find someplace. Make sure you are away from main roads and high traffic areas.

    P.s. industrial areas after hours FTW!!!

    true but its not smart to drift not on the track. i have already done all that stupid stuff. im only 18 and ive already have a wreckless, following too close, 36 over, 28 over, expired tag, class d violation(curfew) and drag racing. its dumb be a safe driver and save it for the track. however i still have my licence

    im a grandma now.

    just be safe

    black hills circuit in barnesville georgia, 30 bucks an hour to drift.

    although i am guilty of it, i do not recommend drifting outside of the track. and if i do its a secure location wayyy out of the way of any public streets or buildings
