Like Nike says: "Just Do It".

What are you worried about? What other think? obviously your playing into your oqn fears. Do it because YOU WANT TO, and that's it. I did it, I loved it, I've moved on.

It's pretty simple actually. Some will get it, some will not, and others will not give up trying (like 88supramkIII ). Everybody else stands on the sidelines making comments about something that they can only do in GT3. Ignore them.

Personally...go Auto-x a few times first, than drift...but that's up to you.

Its different for everyone. I didn't even get my car at first with the intent to get into drifting, but after experiencing and participating in a few street drift sessions, I have become attatched. Not because it seems to be the hot new trend among young car enthusiasts, its because I've always held a genuine interest to increase my driving skill.


So, in addition to pushing myself harder each time I run through some twisties on certain barren roads, I've also pressured myself to find ways to control the car under other conditions as well (i.e. loss of traction-->drifting).

Talk is cheap, everyone can talk. Not everyone is going out there and learning though, so for those who are (like myself) you've already proven your legitimacy, now all that is left is improve improve improve...

Respect your elders, even if it seems like people are being dicks. Just shut the fuck up and pay attention. You might learn something. If I even TALK to a newb then I'm most likely trying to help (because this person obviously has nothing to offer me). If it's taken the wrong way that's not my problem.

I bet I sound like a dick right now huh? See what I mean?

Just don't be a pussy, have confidence and you'll be fine. Have fun at that event

Personally i like d-day even though i am a spectator, but i do it out of love for the sport and my bf, and chris i think you will be welcome especially if you are conservative and not cocky. you get more respect. and as far as your "stock" car it doesnt matter my bf drives the gold 300zx and it is an open diff and N/A plus its heavy. So the type of car wether if it is stock n/a or ka, its all about skill. trust me hun some ka drivers are not good. so i think you should say fuck it and come out and have fun and dont give two shits about what people think, most likely if they are talking shit is because they are jealouse and cant back their shit up. also i think you should listen to hacibill, he has pretty good advice.
