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.

Car was in the NOPI booth in its last NOPI event. They slapped that on, and I've not had the time to scrape it off .
