BOB BONDURANT DRIFTING SCHOOL in arizona......
Drift School 101 - It is important for drivers as they are becoming involved in drift to get used to some of the fundamentals as to how to set up their car, driving techniques and car control. The US Drift Schools 101 provides those fundamentals to drivers in a controlled school setting. During each school drivers are taught the theory of basic car set up and driving techniques in a classroom setting. Practical skill is forged on to the track, where the basics of skid/slide control are taught in a skid pad format with progressively higher speeds....but none close...
and check the links on this site because i know they have sites of drifting schools....
http://driftingschool.com/ check this out....it seems cool but i cant find out where it is...

Please, there was already a problem with a much more regular member of this board making these kind of sarcastic comments. We all see the humor in them but they need to stay out of these kind of serious threads. Preferable left to PMs and Instant messaging programs.

I am offended by the implication that only a newbie would want to drift an automatic.

methinks this thread shall turn to drama soon

I drift auto and I'm pretty serious about drifting. Serious enough to build 2 cars so I have a backup just in case (tho only 1 is auto). With a manual valve body and the right automatic tranny you can simulate a clutch kick. The car in my Sig is auto.

i guess contributing doesn't help tho hahaha.

and no one who is serious about drifting, drifts an automatic. not saying you can't but just saying you shouldn't

Yes you clearly know this forum <--- insert eye roll movement now, whoo hoo, you can name several examples of idiots joining the board running there mouths off. Guess what i can add those up and a new one too!


Your saying i shouldnt drift an automatic? eh? interesting thought. I dont really need to explain my self to you, seeing how your a tool and all, but its what i had at the time. A open differentialed automatic. And guess what i learned to drift it. And then guess what, i learned to do so with out using a handbrake.. And guess what? thats the end of the story, get over your self.


To CH... Well my sig is broken because i dont have a place to host it, but the middle car, (between the pro cars) was my auto 240, and me going at it, back when i was pretty new with the handbrake. I was intending to get some new pictures and footage when my engine went on me.

[Matt_240]

didnt say you couldnt drift w/ an automatic. i guess people can be serious about it too. but you lose alot and its definitely not the same. i know this is a cheap shot but there's no d1 drifter w/ an automatic. thats all i have to say. and this is my last post on this forum. please use your moderating ability [edited] as for me, i'll see myself out

you speak as if im preaching of the wonders and superiority of automatic transmissions. That makes you seem foolish. And yes im glad someone with several post and obviously DAYS worth of experience on this forum can tell us how to better regulate it.

Eh see you around.
