Man, I'd probably be spending more time with you than I would with my family if I lived close to your school. (If you would put up with me of course ) Good luck with the school and I hope you accomplish your dream.

Hey I appreciate the compliments bro, perhaps, as with the other promising student, I could contact you via email and give you instructions and answer any questions you may have about drifting and/or spirited driving in general.
anyway, if u are ever stationed, or make port in israel, especially Haifa, email me man, cuz i could visit you with my car in a heartbeat, if they tell you youre going to israel, its most likely youre going to haifa.

KILL!
Hey grunt! I am also out, former CPL, 2/3 WPNS Co. 3rd MARDIV
My dream is to build a track that is also a shooting range. Would be badass to pull a drift drive by!
Originally posted by hunterd557 Hai hai. It sucks that I went through them, I figured that maybe a RWD Skyling would be good for something, but eh, I guess Skylines are good for nothing when it comes to sideways. But they make excellent wangan cars.
Anyway this was my first wreck. It happened on a touge pass, I went around a turn and totally lost momentum sideways, long story short, I went into a light pole head on. OUCH!
P.S. I replaced the hood.
This one was just all off. Another victim of the touge. I totally bombed around this turn WAY too fast, then I just completely lost it. I must have hit a slick spot because I'm better than that. But anyway, I just completely killed this car. Put it this way, I came around a turn at the top of the mountain pass, and I didn't stop bouncing off of walls until I reached the main street at the bottom.
That was total ouches. Now I know what you're thinking, why am I mad at Skylines for errors that I CLEARLY made. Well, it wouldn't be so bad if I would get into a Silvia and make the same mistakes. But the beautiful machine known as Silvia was designed almost perfectly for drifting.
I bought an S13 Silvia shortly after losing my grey Skyline, and I will never go back. In the short time that I had my Silvia (about 4 months) I was able to pull of zero-countersteer drifts, and they didn't all have this feeble angle, some actually had some pretty good angles, but I just didn't have to do anything with the wheel, just hold it straight. My Silvia was my baby, and it hurt bad when I had to part with it, but I gave it to my drift instructor, so I know it's in good hands right now. Shin wouldn't do ANYTHING to hurt a Silvia, or a CAR for that matter. But anyway, I was also able to take those SAME turns at the SAME speed that I tried with the Skyline, with the Silvia, and I was able to pull them off. Like it was easy.
So maybe the Skyline wasn't built for drifting. Oh well, it's still the first car I'd chose to street/highway(wangan) race with.
You should come down this way we have tons of people itching to drift... check out my site it's in my sig, if you ever get a site up I'll put a link on there for ya, I'm on the other end of the state though but it could help out with your business

I am in Maryland now. Duty station was with 3rd Marines in Hawaii and our deployments were to Okinawa. What was your MOS? Were you an 11? I was a 31. Damn I hated humping those 50s around. Actually I hated humping period. Humping is about the 5hittest of the 5hitty things to do. Maybe that's why I enjoy driving so much now.
I'm sure you are a nice guy and your resume looks impressive but i'll give you 2 days to take "Demo Driver for Drift 411" out of your Signature, then i'm closing this thread and any that you put up in the future. I happen to know the owners of Drift 411 and they do not have a Demo team. Far as i'm aware, I can find out if need be, you are not a demo driver for CCR either.
So please remove any mention of affiliation with Drift 411 from your post.
I'm sure you mean well, and I'll go ahead and remove it to prevent any consequential action that may be taken, but if you speak to Chris, Chad or Sande, I'm sure they'll be happy to explain my status, and Jamey Cicaliese will also be more than happy to explain my affiliation with CCR and Drift 411.
But, I'm a man of my word and I'll remove them . . .
Take care,
-Dave
Understood. Like I said, i'm sure your resume is great and you seem like a really cool guy, what you are doing certainly sounds cool. I was just asked to address this so I did.
I'll be working this event under Andy of Formula D representing Drift 411 with my buddy Ryan Clayton.
It looks to be a great event, so you guys should try to make it out there.
Look for the red Cavalier, and you'll find me, LOL!

not only are you a demo driver for CCR and Drift 411 but you also work for Formula D?

So here's the deal. My beautifly black 1990 240sx is going to get taken up to New York and thrown in a body shop. Here, it will undergo a front end change (S13 Front End), a paint job (Blue) and an engine swap (KA24DET). I'm expecting this car back sometime in July.
But trust me my fellow drifters. This blue, turbocharged, Sil-Eighty will be worth the wait. If' not, I'll sell it and get a Hachi-Roku. AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA NOT!
