Hahahaha, yeah Z32s have the bumper bolted on very nicely. I've snagged a few cones and no problems. I'll be coming out once my angle kit is installed for some shakedown runs.

That can be argued. I feel it is better in that there are so many different track layouts that can be done at Inland Drift as opposed to Adam's with the same layout every week.

I'm noobs, so for me this is better than Adams, coz I can really drift here, as in Adams mor like we've to put a show for the owner, so spectators keep comin. well...only if my 2cents count.

[xpl2007]

Remember this is the first show. Its only, hopefully going to get better.
Im done with messing around time to finish my car.
Open diff, automatic, underpower, dosnt = fun anymore like it use to...lol

[s13Carlo]

^^^ my girl got some good pics of you in the stang hah

[Grenade180sx]

i will say parking lots are ALOT easier for beginners then a actual course, but when your trying to improve fast no parking lot can do what a actual course can. wether its HTM, Adams, or streets, real courses teach you proper lines, a parking lots can only take you so far then your stuck. its great having another cheap venue close to home!

[stretch240sx]

Uploading my photos now.

1904photography.com | Inland Drift April 23, 2009

The event was pretty fun to shoot, so It had to be fun to drive.

Rudy, thanks for letting me come out and shoot. Send me an email once you look through the photos and let me know if you want to use some. Ill get them edited up for what you need.

Agreed.
Plus Adams is so small and tight, you dont really get to open it up and learn how to hold a drift.
I saw alot of adams track locals spinning out when they actually had to drift, and not just get the car out for a few seconds.

Agreed here too.
Thats why on Thursday I had Rudy and the staff put out clipping points. Cause if a parking lot is just open, I get bored real quik.

Both tracks have their positives and negatives.
So it just depends how you drift and what your looking for.

I personally like initiating against walls and drifting along them wide open with shallow angle.
And I like the challenge of pushing my SOHC as hard as I can and getting the most out of it.
I need to just do an Adams event on the weekend, Im not into risking my car with other drivers I dont know for someone elses profit.
And 225's on a SOHC at adams was a mistake on my part, lol.

Cant wait for tandem at Inland!!

Tires all the same?
Tire pressure match?
welded diff/tire ware?

take it for an alignment

I usually only Tandem now.
But,
I like to tandem with the guys I know, not some random 3 people in front of me that I dont know or how well they drive.

I will prolly just come on a weekend and run tandem with some of the 626 and work on lines at some point.

I usually let go of the wheel at some point and let the car counter.

Are you holding the wheel the whole time?
I usually tell newer drivers to let go of the wheel when they feel the car start to slide.
And grab the wheel when you want the car to "set".

Also, I watched guys spin all day because they would get to steep of an angle, and hope they could power through the amount of speed the angle was scrubbing off.
You could see a spin coming 50 feet before it even started to happen.

So on a ling track, shallower angle, and dont just stand on the throttle.
I was on and off my throttle on my KA.

Its something else then.
Bent LCA?
they can tell you whats off, or at least what wheel if you go to an alignment shop.

More seat time and drivers skill will do it.

[s13_runner]

^^^^^^ so ur running a stock SOHC too?
