Dude, Look at me. I was drove at the last DDAY, with a S14 KA24DE, shock & spring upgrade, and OPEN DIFFERENTIAL! Everyone figured that i ran a KA and knew that i had suspension upgrades, but no one ever figured out that i ran on a open diff. I think i was the only one who ran on open diff that day. I have never really drifted before, not even in public streets. I drove out there, spun out countless of times, went off roading many times, and my car was filled with sand and dust by the end of the day.
I ran several laps in the morning time, took my break, and several hours later, I was out there again. People gave me compliments on my improvement at the end of the day.

At 1st, i was really scared. My heart was beating fast, i started to sweat as i was inline for my 1st run ever. I tried to grip the course inorder to get the feel of it. At the time, i didnt have much knowledge of my car's limit and it's potential. I spun out almost every turn, stalled out at least once every lap. It was fustrating. After 5 laps, i called it quits.
So i sat in the spectating section for several hours. Started to collect my thoughts about what i did in the car, and why i did what i did. My head ached. So i took a quick nap. Around 3pm, i was refreshed, and built enough confidence to go out again. This time, things went different. My view towards drifting had changed completly. I ran well over 10 times that afternoon. When i was done, my friend asked me "hey, how you feeling now?" I'm like "dude, that shit was fun, i want to keep going, but i need to make sure i have a ride back home." So i had to stop, because the last thing i want is a broken down car 115 miles away from home.

Progress is the key. What's the point of running the course if someone isnt there to improve/learn their techniques? When you're out on that track, I swear, the only thing that exist is: you, your hand on the steering wheel, and that course. No spectators existed in my mind when i ran, even though i glanced several times along that white fence and saw only a few people. It was me and the car, and thats all i care about. I couldnt hear anything besides my motor and tires screeching.

I see that you read my view about dday... https://www.tamparacing.com/forums/s...highlight=dday
