Re: Drifting?   Posted Wed Jan 7, 04   6:27 PM     

I don't have any video of someone doing the gumtape deathmatch, but people actually do use this. It's rarely done do to it dangerousness. I have a cousin that's in the navy and she's stationed in Japan and has actually seen this type of match. I wish she would have had a camera when she saw it, I'm sure it would be spectacular and very exciting to watch.

I have yet to drift. But I have played NFS Underground where some of the races are actually drifting. In it, I turn into a sharp corner and hit the brake for a quick few seconds. when i do that, the car starts sliding down the road when you are done with that drift, hit the brake and then hit the gas and turn back straight. If you car has Stability or Traction control, disable that, that way it is much more easier to drift.

Catch my drift

not that i was making some allegation that it was a controlled drift. more like a completely out of control 'the michellin TRX's surprised me'

car's a heap. it'll be fixed soon though. it's got some pooh yourself death wobbles hiding under the front sub.
