Drifting at Tuner Field
Well this past weekend we made yet another trip to Atlanta for the final of the Triple Threat events. It’s always fun to see the Atlanta Drift Peeps and enjoy some tire smoke. As some of you may or may not know I am not fond of our current drift car, I’m having a hard time sliding it. I’ve begged for another car and Chris persistently tells me no learn this one. So after Chris made me really upset at the event Tracy came down to help me out. Chris was just throwing me in the car and saying drive the course when that wasn’t what I needed to learn this car. Tracy and I went down to do some donuts, funny I know but it really did help me feel the car out alot more than just trying to drift the course. For anyone out there who either is new to drifting or is just trying to learn a new setup or a new platform all together. You are having trouble with it go back to the basics it will definitely help you understand the car better.
We only were able to do that for a little bit (maybe 20-30 minutes) before some very ominous clouds accompanied by some lightening were able to be seen on the horizon. Since I had tons of stuff sitting out up at our tent and was hoping Allie wasn’t freaking out on Chad’s girlfriend Kathy who was watching her while I drove a little bit. We decided to call it a day and for me to save my money for a 240. I really want to learn the Corolla since there’s not many girls who drive them and get good with it. It is going to take some time, lots of tires and a lot of patience which I tend to run short on a lot of the time. I was getting decent (for my first time driving it on a course) with my stock 240 in just a day so I assumed that the Corolla would be equally as easy. Boy was I wrong! There’s a lot of girls starting to get into drifting and it really sucks that I’ve been involved with it for so long and am still a cruddy driver. Things happen (like babies) and plans change I won’t go into details.
I hope to have the ProjectGirlDrifter(.net) site back up soon so those ladies that are trying to start driving can have a place to come to do find other girl drivers. I had big plans for PGD and those have all been put on the back burner too, I really need to put more effort into my sites this one included, there’s still greeking everywhere and empty ad space. Don’t fear though I plan to have all my sites, this one, ProjectGirlDrifter, and FemaleRacingNews all up and going very very soon. It’s a lot of work for me but it’s all worth it in the end.
Oh and this post is brought to you today by Chris’ new iMac computer
