I want to learn how to drift and would love a place to practice regularly, but the only place is countyline skidpad.
As good as having an event close to miami is, don't get me wrong but the skidpad aint much. I specd it once and it was like 20 cars, and most people got like one minute track time tops per each run and then had to go back to the start of the line.
The audience was.... eh lets just leave it at that.
Now lets say I went there to learn and practice, with 20 cars behind me and lots of more experienced drivers around I would definitely feel pressured. It be like go in, get 30 secs run and try not to spin out, then get out.
So the only options for a noob like me are a)skidpads b) streetsliding in deserted warehouses and what not, which only works once a week and you have to alternate between spots to prevent from heating them too much, and you are always looking out for cops, security, etc etc, and there's no one to instruct you tell you what you are doing wrong or whatever.
If there was a place like ebisu, with dedicated tracks for beginners, intermediate, advanced drivers, etc, it be a different story.
But it aint, so you just make do with what you got
How are you upset with ONLY having one legal place to practice as a newb?
ebisu isn't gonna help you learn to fucking drive. Stop fucking complaining from a newb's perspective. Drive. just shut tha fuck up and fucking drive. Who gives a fuck what other people think about how shitty of a driver u r? Put a big I'M NEWB AS FUCK!!!! sticker on ur winshield...and make a fucking joke out of how shitty u drive.
Learn ur car, progress as a driver, then think of driving a course like ebisu.
How THA FUCK does your brain constitute having a "better course" making you into a better driver? A tougher course will only show off even more so how horrible of a driver you are.
LEARN YOUR CAR. Don't swap a motor into it before u fucking start drifting.
Drift a KA ass 240, are a bone stock motored whatever tha fuck u drive. Once u learn how to drive it, then think of swapping a different motor into it and going to ebisu.
he conversation was about what the problem with drifting in florida was, and I gave an answer from my perspective as a noob:
No, the problem with drifting in FL isn't what you say it is. The problem with drifting in FL is drivers such as yourself who say that this is the problem.
