Just as a first time attendee last sunday to a Drift event I'd like to toss in 2 cents.
I come from Autox and having a blast every time. Decided to try out this whole drifting thing. I'll say it was a friggin blast! I went down to cordelle and probably had about 60-70 "runs" that day. Was I amazing? hell no. Did I ever have a flawless run? I wish. But I will say it was very fun and light-hearted. No one was talking a bunch of crap and only one guy was there doing the "burnout" drifts(annoying, but bearable). I plan on going next month and hope to do even better. I don't have a busted-ass-car or zipties everywhere, and it seemed like only a handful of people out there did.
I don't get why people get all high and mighty about certain things like this. I mean if you don't like it cool, no probs. but no need to be an asshat about it. I think Digs and rolls are gay as hell, but I don't go making threads about it.
