I've been drifting for about 2 years I think....But I havn't done as many days as I would have liked to during that time (money and car issues mostly)
I taught myself for most of it but as soon as I got to my first drift day people helped left right and center. They still do till this day! The drifting community is the most friendly and generous community I have ever come accross!
I hope to bring that to SA if it's not the same vibe there already
thats kwl man, moneys always a problem, in everything.
well you see drifting isnt as big here and there's not really "big" events for it that often. drags are more popular here, but when they have drags they also have drifting (in the background) on the other part of the track.
anybody can go, its a practice thing. im gonna go to the one on friday and get in some practice, its just an oval so should be fun to practice.
Yeah it's my mission to bring it up in SA...especially in CPT as I know it's bigger up north
I use to live in CPT and I wa involved in drag racing too so now how big it is there
haha yes, joburg has a big place, CPT has....nothing really.
CPT has a lot...its all just undiscovered and new territory....all us capetonians take a while to catch on haha
lol dats wat i mean like we dont have big drift events.
so tru we r too lazy and layed back 🙂 . haha
how long have you been overseas for then? and are u gonna ship the s14 down?
Been away for too long...accumatively about 3/4 years now.
Yes the S14 is coming with me, including my whole garage. The S14 will be the company demo car
wow, so u missing CPT?
Nice, would like to see the car up close.
how was the first few months of learning to drift? wanna know what to expect if i get into this properly 🙂
Yeah that's why I'm moving back. Came back from a holiday there 3 months ago and it confirmed it!
You always learning to drift bud! And the level is always being pushed up so its always interesting. All I know is drifting has been fun....and always will be!
Just enjoy it...It's what it's about! Never think much about it other than developing your car further and pushing yourself further as you develop.
Drifting has come from people stuffing around in their cars...having fun....so nothing will change.
Anyone can learn to drift in a day (under the right guidance)...its all about developing and pushing yourself further and further all the time.
Thats cool, CPT is unique, its so homey if you know what i mean.
ok i see, ja it is just so much fun!
im nervous tho, like with trying to enter the corners at higher speeds, i supose il just have to build up, like gradually go faster and faster.
but ill get there 🙂 , just practice, practice and more practice.

any chance you could tell me ur practice spot, looking for an open tar piece to have some fun and practice while its still winter wet (save tyres,nocash)
Yes, it is fun!
I would upload vids but I havnt got a video camera...I tried investing in a spy cam to attach to my car but it was a cheap ebay jobby that works for a second then dies haha
But I do want to get vids so that I can see how I have progressed.
ill pm you
Joker, Can I ask you to remove that and PM it to the person asking (want to keep these places away from prying eyes of the law)
