There are runs from the practice event, drivers search, quailifying practice and qualifying.
That's some pretty badass drifting! Hope you make it as a D1 competitor someday.

Thanks konspec

Yes, zand02max, it is hard on the car, thats one reason I left it stock for so long. The warranty got me a tranny at 14k and a motor at 28k, thanks Nissan. Yes it is expesive, but it is starting to pay off. The car will have all body panels replaced with carbon fiber, no charge. Thank you, Modified Inc.
I will post progress of the C/F production in the exterior mods forum. I'm heading in on monday to start on the bumpers.
So you got a new tranny and engine courtesy of Drifting? Your lucky this aint the Mits. Evo boards.

One thing is for sure, I woulda hit the wall.

BTW, they have a drifting event here at PPIR in Colorado Springs in June, I will attend to see what all the hype is about. 1st place gets free tires,

Sounds like a very expensive sport.

Zand02Max: Yeah, if I had an evo, I'd be screwed! The funny thing is the guys at the dealership knows that I drift, and they've always honored the warranty! I was in there at least once a month. Yes, drifting is expensive, but in the world of motorsports, it's a pretty cheap way to have some fun, professionally. To build a trans-am or formula atlantic car, your talking big bucks. Most pro drift cars are worth a fraction or these road racing beasts.


Tabrizo: tire life all depends on the tire itself,track surface, track temperature, and whether or not you properly heat cycled you tires beforehand. I have gone through a set of rears in 6 laps at buttonwillow(dunlop R-compound) On a practice day I average 4 to 6 tires, I could take out 10 if I had a pit crew.



DIE DIE:The course is all 3rd gear until the last part, I've honestly never looked at my speedometer. Not like it would give me an accurate reading, it will give me the speed of the spinning wheels! I'd estimate somewhere between 60 and 70mph, at the fastest.
