Oh! LOL.. with as low center of gravity as our Z's have, and the speeds being very low.. and the area I was in was level.. the possibility of a roll over is next to nill. If so .. I do have a custom roll bar

I'd like to attend a few drifting schools first.. I'm sure that I still have much to learn. I think I'll try to do substitute a drift day in for a track day.

Seat time IS school man. The people that put on the events (at least where I am) are Pro drifters and compete in D1. You can get lessons from them right there on the spot, and still learn the ins and outs of your own vehicle.
