Vang, I just think your attitude is way off with this one.

First off.. Not everyone is "young and invincible" and likes to be told that they suck.

Second..
D-day IS the place to practice, the street is NOT. Especially when you are 15 years old, you shouldnt be driving on the street at more than 2 mph in a straight line much less sliding around corners at 7K rpm's in an industrial complex.

I understand that if someone is over 21 in your passenger seat then you can drive with a permit, but if you pull off drifting and have a consenting adult in the passenger seat and are CAUGHT by police, the adult will have his liscense suspended or revoked for consenting illegal activity with a minor, and you prob wont drive for a long time either.

I've seen the videos, I understand you have some skills you've aquired, but the place to get those skills is at a D-day event AFTER you are 16 and can pass the waiver. D-day is not a competition, we shouldnt make fun of peoples skills there so that the drivers feel they have to "practice" on the streets in order to be "acceptable" at drift days, instead they need to practice at drift days, and be "good" at events similar to the D1 GP at Homestead.

Maybe you can get away with this for some peroid of time, but if I were your parents I'd have the car disabled until you were old enough to realize that drifting on other peoples property could put your parents in some serious financial hurt, and that its not a good thing to play on the streets.

I also feel that the support of some other members of this board (no names given) towards your illegal activity is improper, especially when some of them are not even of adult age themselves.
