Default what you wanted different/ driver props

today was the 1st time ive drifted the SR miata and damn that car is fun.

i wish bill and I had better tires, the S03s gave too much grip and i guess the other 2 pairs had been sitting in storage too long and were slick as FUCK. the car had no rear grip what so ever. i think with some tires with a little grip, me and bill would have done a lot better in it, bill couldnt handle it anymore and just stopped driving it.

so what iwanted different was some better tires

looks like everyone is improving nicely, but i have to give big props to jay, everytime i see him slide he gets better, the angles he gets is almost mind boggling. but when i rode with him, the steering is so lax in that car. so i guess my +1 of the event goes to jay.


oh and the problem i had with the miata at the end was a result of fouled plugs

I wish I had remembered/had the drive to wake up and watch. Oh well, I am sure there are videos galore that will put me right there without the agonizing drive without heat/sleep.

That thing was looking crazy out there. On the U-turn it would be smoken the tires and still accelerate faster than any thing I have seen. It looked way to fast.

yea, but it was soooooooooooo greasy, car had no usable traction what so ever, which made it hard, esp on the combo.

the girls drove a lot better as well

also charles, ricerocket is learning his car pretty quickly too, just dont get TOO brave just yet
