Formula D "drift" @ Summit Point this w/e

MINIs can't drift! ... but its still fun to watch!!
Anyone else from DCMM attending? Want to caravan out to the track Saturday morning?

If you can't make it to the race, at least come by for the party... You can watch the drifting live on ESPN2 on Saturday...

that was actually from the track day with MoS we did last summer. (obviously before i shredded the serpentine belt)

not scary at all, just a whole lotta fun! it's also good, cuz it teaches you car control and you learn what your car feels like when it gets into the other limits of control.
