Something very important. FLIPPING OVER!

[prophet]

I havnt seen anyone talk about flipping over what if you are in a stock car and just starting out, what if you loose control and flip over? Is that possible?

[jaydm180sx]

Anything is possible. To practice the art of drifting you must except that risk.
Wear your seatbelt.

well yeah i know that you take a risk you take risks every day. but it would be kinda stupid if you lip over doing 30 ahah

Hahahahahahhaahahhah... NOT.

I rolled going 30mph or slower. Stuff happens.

You won't roll the car in a flat asphalt area. If you go into a grassy field and crank the wheel, it's possible. If you're in the mountains or going on a canyon run, it's very possible. If you happen to hit a washing machine above the center of gravity, there's a 100% chance of flipping.

just to prevent it from happening, scope out the area that you are about to drift in first....make sure that the road is smooth and no holes or ditches or raised asphault..

Wait wait wait .... Wha? I really need to have <i>this</i> one explained...

Well... I set up for a corner wrong, dunno what happened but I did a 180, slid down a six-to-eight-foot embankment, hit a washing machine above my car's cg, and the car rolled right onto its roof. That wasn't all that fun.

this is why rollcages were invented.

No... I don't imagine that was fun at all. I must make a mental note to steer clear of washing machines at all costs. They appear to be malicious little bastidges.
