And rather than just bumping that thread, i'd thought i'd make a new one. There are events every month at thunderhill. It's $100 for a full day of drifting. You get sooooo much run time its crazy, everyone is super laid back too. Make sure to bring extra tires. A good website for info is <a href="http://norcaldrift.org/index.php?act=idx" target="_blank">http://norcaldrift.org/index.php?act=idx</a> <br />Heres the thread for next months event<br /> <a href="http://norcaldrift.org/index.php?showtopic=814" target="_blank">http://norcaldrift.org/index.php?showtopic=814</a> <br />I've seen pics of a newer mach 1 out there. But thats about it as far as mustangs go. I'll probably be out there in october if i can find a t-5 and get my car tuned. It'll be the first time in the new car. Here are some pics from the last event that i was at. <br /> <img src="http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l150/BOOSTED88TSI/p1007346029-4.jpg" alt=" - " /><br /> <img src="http://photos-d.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v323/108/123/1488258324/n1488258324_30020235_5883.jpg" alt=" - " /> <br /> <img src="http://photos-a.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v323/108/123/1488258324/n1488258324_30020240_7565.jpg" alt=" - " /><br /> <img border="0" alt="[Whoo Whooooo!]" title="" src="graemlins/woowoo.gif" /><br /> <br /> <small>[ September 22, 2008, 06:18 PM: Message edited by: BOOSTED92GT ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>dpracingdan</b> <br /><small>Member # 5778</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2008,8,23,13,26,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Glad to see there are still some events going on.<br />Might have to bring Drift Patrol #2 out to an event as soon as she's all finished. 95% there now. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>S281 #314....

I went through a complete set last time and maybe 50% of another. Theres a bunch of different ways to start to drift, or initiate. <br />Heres a website with some info <a href="http://www.driftsession.com/technique.htm" target="_blank">http://www.driftsession.com/technique.htm</a> <br />My favorite is clutch kicking. If your driving at the event you can also ride with the other drivers, so you can get some techniques from them. Watching's free, and if you just want to ride with people its $25 i think. You have to have their okay first of course though...<br /> <br /> <small>[ September 23, 2008, 09:37 PM: Message edited by: BOOSTED92GT ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>dpracingdan</b> <br /><small>Member # 5778</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2008,8,24,16,25,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> For anyone interested in drifting their Mustang, make sure to check out <a href="http://www.Drift50.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.Drift50.com</a> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>J24I</b> <br /><small>Member # 2598</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2008,8,24,19,48,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> thats a nice conquest.

Didn't even get to try it out with the new suspesion all those pics were on 20 year old stuff. I don't really miss it as i sold it to a friend that lives two exits down the freeway. It was super nice but i know i can make the 5.0 the same if not better. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
