Is there an existing thread somewhere about actual drift meets?...Falken Drift Showoff on Oct. 12 anyone goin?...if any of you are headin out...maybe we should have a meet before the show...or just anyone that wants to hit up the touge im in so cal...peace
 
There have been a few here and there but they are discouraged because it's possible the police would catch on. Generally you would agree to have a "meet" somewhere, then from there decide where you would go driving. I recently went to a 4AG meet in Portland, OR that was like that, we just hit up the local mountain road after a BBQ. I don't know of any general drifting meets, but if you have a Nissan or Toyota then there are probably local meets often where drifting enthusiasts make up a larger portion of the crowd. You just have to look on the right forums. What kind of car do you have?

How lucky you are. You can go.

I know of only one "drift group" in this measly town, and it exists due to a bunch of idiots I supplied with Initial D fansubs.

Now we've got these fools screaming around town in their crappy cars, thinking they're the absolute best thing ever. So I don't think that counts.

Gah, I hate Townsville, Australia :P
 
Phame, you should have no problems finding meets then. Club4AG is a great place to start, there's a lot of guys in SoCal on that forum (as I'm sure you noticed). Also, you're welcome to join us in Washington/Oregon for our 4AG meets. http://www.hachiroku.net/
 
krispie kreme sundays eh?...perg...yea i know of the meets i find in club4ag...but i just curious of who from this board goes to em
 
There aren't many here who actually drift in real life. There are a few 86 owners though, but I think I'm the only other west coast drifter on this forum. I guess there's a huge underground drifting scene in Seattle, but I've only heard rumors. They only bring out their drift cars at night and only for the drift runs. I would go but my 86 is my only car. I live 60 miles away so I don't think I have to worry about anyone recognizing me but if I went with those guys I would have to drive serious, and I don't want to wreck my ride to work. Ya know?

For now I just stick to drifting in the rain and in GT3 (which does make you better by the way if your car is tuned realisticly). I'm getting pretty good though, I can do it almost as good in real life as I can in GT3 (when it's wet). I can do it within my lane and everything, usually about one full rotation of the wheel so 2/3 of the way sideways. Only a powerslide but I haven't been doing it very long. For reference, my 86 is hardly modified, the car cost me $2300 total so far (including the initial purchase) and I've had it for almost a year. Still improves my driving every time I drive it too, even if I'm not driving aggressively. If anyone is looking for a cheap FR for a learning car, I highly recommend taking one for a test drive. Even if it's stock I garauntee you'll know why the car is so famous almost immediately. BTW I recommend learning a FF or AWD before FR. It gives you the reflexes for giving the car gas, brakes, etc. Once you have that, you will be able to focus on the drifting, not on "ok give it gas now." I drove FF for about 2½ years before I switched to FR.

Ok so I got a little off topic on that one, but I think it's almost relevant.
 
Yeah I'm on Club4ag.com as well.... same screen name as here. Ummm, where in Socal are you? I'm in Anaheim, and we have weekly meets in Fullerton, just about 8-10 locals hang out and drink boba, then sometimes go drive. Hit me up if you are from the area.
