drifting?

shartley, I go to drifting events a lot. And let me tell you, the most extreme drifters don't use the ebrake. It's usually the beginners.

You may have seen differently, but I go to the events with the D-1 Drivers, who are pro's because they have the most dramatic and wild drifts, and they rarely use the e-brake. They use inertia and dynamic drifting.

I have been practicing, although I plan to never take drifting seriously, I plan to compete in some events just for fun, since my friends are drifting fanatics.

But, I really want to get some time on the road racing track, and autocross.

I recommend to you, and anyone who is interested in 'drifting' to run autocrosses first.
Learn the limits of adhesion of your car/tyres, in legal places, where there is plenty of run-off, and plenty of safety guys with fire extinguishers just in case.
Then you'll have a good enough feel for your car, that you can hang the tail out and control it from corner to corner, and eventually get to drifting.
After that, if you like competition grip driving, do some track days. Unspeakable fun.
