A little drift video from the US Drift.com practice on Saturday

It was a last minute plan to go watch the drift practice and I ended up entering it. A very well organized event and met some great people down there. A big shot-out to Chris Cobetto and his crew for the organization. I met Chris Cobetto early in February at the NASA event on Virginia Internal Raceway. Chris Cobetto is the National Auto Sport Association (NASA) Virginia Region Director and also runs www.usdrift.com

Here is a little video from the practice.

I will post some pictures later today.

no but seriously.

the car is amazing. i think that this is one of the first vids that show the inexplicable amount of power that spawns from this car. i noticed that while you were drifting there was a great composure and control which aided you in not spinning most of the time. what suspension are you running in that vid?

also, i could see the sudden surge of power in 2nd? gear a couple of times when you were drifting there. noticeably the first scene of the second part when you were gunning it out. just a blip of the throttle and the car moves forward like crazy even though there was mad tire slippage.

thanks.

I wasn't planning on running so I didn't make any changes. My plan was to watch but when I got there the organizers invited me to enter.

Nice video!

I was at the Drift Atlanta event this weekend. Dear god these guys are great. Especially Rhys Millen in the prepared GTO and the Mopar Viper! If you guys get a chance to see some videos, watch for the Mopar Viper...
