See if Rob and his cronies might be willing to let you tag along with their crew of ne'er do-wells, law breakers, unscrupulous cronies, trespassers, public offenders, etc...;)

Practice practice practice! Plus any drift event like ggp or mineral wells ride along!!!! Watching is a great way to see what areas you need to pay attention too. It will also give you a good idea of how the car will feel through a drift. The drift bible is also a great movie to watch for great tips. However, nothing bears seat time when learning to drift. Back when I had my 240 I spend a week one summer at the same parking garage just to get one drift down!

Rob!!!!! Still mad you bailed on hanging out when I was in Houston, but Chris, Jonas(I love this guy), And Mad Brad made it worthwhile. Even kicked it with one of the Moore bros as well. But like Tedd said, nothing is better than seat time. No one can tell you how to drift your car better than your own hands and senses. You have to feel when to keep pushing it or straighten out.

@JDMwhiteboy - yea I'm trying to practice more often but its hard cuz I don't really have a secure place to go where I feel comfortable but I will def keep my eyes peeled for spots. Ahh the drift Bible I used to have it but I misplaced it lol yea its a good learning tool! And I would love to get some seat time with someone!
@Mckenney- are that'd my problem I can't find a secure open spot to actually try to see if I can keep the drift going :/ plus I don't have an LSD bit I have noticed that clutch kicking works for me but I can only get the rear to slide out a bit. Unlike my 1st 86 with LSD. That's why I need more practice lol
@aka vene- fuse that would be super awesome of you! Where is kendras? I've never heard of it

Thanks for the help guys
