Dd41

[Chase]

Copy and pasted from another forum. Seriously, drifting is a blast. You don't need some mad tyte drift car. RWD with not an open rear end and your can have a blast. Anybody is willing to help, with that said.

Here are a few pictures from the last event, the track is technical and will challenge you. I know a lot of people hate on drifting, but its a far different experience from other motor sports. Or come along and watch if you are interested, I can give you a few rides through out the day if you wanna see what its all about. (Ride with up with me and split gas/hotel costs).

Best hot wings i've ever had in my life are in this town too by the way. If your into hot wings...

[AutoMods]

i'd like to try this, won't be this year though. anybody able to do this sport without trashing their car ????

[85XR7Project]

Is that an E30 with an SR20DET? Badass!

[Chase]

You can do it without trashing your car yes, just expect to learn slower. That genisis for example has been though 2 full seasons and it's still in great shape. My car however, I've been driving it for 6 years and don't have much regard for its condition ( but honestly its not horrible either for being nearly 25 years old ).

E30 does have an SR, Im not a fan of convertibles but I love that E30.

Holy steer angle batman!

[85XR7Project]

I noticed that too

[ills13]

how does tech inspection go? ive been to the website and didnt see much about it.

[Chase]

Tech is simple.

Basically have your battery strapped down. Cover positive terminals. Seat belts or harnesses installed correctly. Put a sock over your power steering reservoir and thats about it really. Make sure its not leaking a quart of oil every hour.

[ills13]

alright thanks. does a jerry rigged battery tie down work? lol

[Chase]

Well how jerry rigged. Bungee cords no longer pass tech.

But as long as you have a battery, attached to a solid surface with a pretty solid strapping device you will be fine.

[ills13]

its braided wire cable that has a plastic coating. and goes through a loop/tie thing and i electric taped the hell outta it to make sure it wont move. they passed me at tech when i took it to the cedar falls drag strip.

[Chase]

I cant say forsure. Post a picture of it and I could probably tell you.

If you grab your battery and shake it, and it doesnt budge you are probably fine.

[ills13]

maybe ill just go to advance and get a tie down.. not worth driving over 5hrs to not pass tech.. thanks man.. are u planning on going to dd41? pretty sure i wont be able to make that one. doubt my tires will be in by then.. i really wana go to dd42 tho.

[Chase]

As of now I am going to DD41, yeah.
