alex pfeiffer is not a poser, he sat next to me at D1GP near the end of the night, and he was drunk as hell and yelling HACHI ROKU at ueo...it was annoying but cool cuz he's alex pfeiffer.

thank you

i find it dumb how the press and media totally condenses the whole situation and make it sound easy and matter-of-factly.....like how that USAToday was talking aobut drifting....makes it sound sooooo easy

I only use the ebrake to help me stay sideways sometimes. Not going into the drift jesus.

the pros use it to enter, during the drift, and sometimes (but barely ever) to exit. i use it to enter, i can usually kick the clutch a couple of times to get myself around the turn with my underpowered KA24DE =\

isn't the use of the ebrake mainly for changing the angle of ur drift at the beginning, or during a drift?

In the world of newspapers, the articles need to consider a few things: demographic statistics, meaning how many people will be interested in this kind of stuff; and complexity, meaning how many people understands what the article is tallking about. They HAVE to make some easy techniques and just call it a day because it is only a one-day worthy article.
