Been drifting today, someone want the video to upload

[delmeekc]

can email to somebody to put up, please.

My mate taught me in his volvo then I tried it on the monaro (against his advice as there is alot of concrete behine the armaco), at last I have learnt how to steer it properly on the gas and with steering input.

Upload it to www.youtube.com or www.izimi.com and share it with us all!!!

How big is the file?

[delmeekc]

on it's way to youtube now, it's ok for my proper first attempt in the car, could only do a little bit as was only using the gas. My mate showed me how to steer with the gas and the steering, so no more spinning out, I hope.

Will post the link once it's up.

Fantastic clip. Looks like you had a lot of fun.

I was proud of my drifting techniques till I got new rear tyres fitted and now its all gone to pot

the track is naturally very slipery and if you back off it throws you into the wall as the second clip shows (I backed off as she was going to spin into the inside wall). Had a few other moments down the straights trying to flick it the other way. My mates in the volvo compete in the D1 thingie in proper preped cars which is what they taught me in. They had a volvo estate there and the 340 (in the clip). The estate through a conrod through the side of the engine and the 340 (had a clio 16v lump in it on a set of bike carbs) also went bang big time and seized up, both on the last outing. They use a water truck to wet the track which is nice but it is like ice, 70hp and a welding diff is enough to produce serious action but you have to work the car. I started in second gear and kicked the clutch at about 2000rpm but after a few laps and as the confidence built up the clutch was not needed as I entered the corner at 3000rpm and could instigate the slide with a good dab of power. Every time I came back in my hand where shaking big time, it was a cracking day. I tried going anticlockwise in their car, what a mess, gave up in the end as everything is completely the reverse of what I had learnt all day, next time must try harder.

Looks like fun! Very brave to do it in the P and J with so little room for error!
