Hey everyone..

last friday was my 1st time in my life that i tried to be Takumi. he..he.. No lah, not Takumi, but it was the first time since i got my FR that i tried to bring the tail out. Let me tell u guys sumthin, i m a chicken. i dont dare do it on the street nor at a parking lot for fear of hitting sumthin, so early this week, i gave Mr Skagee a ring and put my name for OTS8.
On my 1st run, i cudnt do shit.. my A31 didnt even understeer let alone ovversteer. After that run, my wifey who was watching her hubby's attempt at embarrasing himself, told me that i wasnt drifting, but i was doing a sight seeing tour of the track. She told me to look at all the other drifters in other groups. Even when they spun out, she said, at least they tried. Sooo.. she said, ' plis try a bit harder, if not, u r not gona improve..'
After that i went to see Ricky, he told me do this n do that.. Then on my 2nd run, this is the result...

I was ECSTATIC. I was on cloud NINE. for the first time in my life that i cud actually throw the tail out. After that turn.... i spun. Damn. So much for trying to be Takumi.

:(


* what i m tryin to say is that, this was the best EVER motorsports event that i ve entered and i HIGHLY respect all the drifters. U guys memang TERRER!!!
 
I wud also like to thank Skagee n Cheaka for this memorable OTS event.
 
Ari,

dont worry man, the first time is always the hardest ..

cheers..
 
Ari, gogogo! so lucky got a FR car and wife watching u drfiting! lol :D
give me a ride on ur car 1 day lol :p
 
wahahaha.... thank god this pic was your A31 drifting.. so worried it was thrashed... cos I read your post before looking at the pic... haha... I only see half of the pic when i was reading... and the top half of the pic was grass!!

congrats dude... way the go!!
 
wahh... good to hear ur wife so supportive in ur drifting sport... if my gf sure she will say drive carefully on road... haha...
anyway, agree that first time is alwiz the hardest... once u get the feel of it, i'm sure u can start to polish up ur skillss... too bad i dont have an FR car... if not i also wanna drift ler...
 
Hey Guys.. thanks for your support. I just cannot explain the adrenalin rush that u get when the car's tail is loose. Its gonna take me a long, long time b4 i can actually control it. Its a really skillful sport. Its also Damn Shiok!
 
it actually take more nerve and guts to get the car sliding for the whole corner and continue with the next one...
and of coz, not to mention ur skills have to be good as well... if not, u will end up spinning or crashing into the barriers...
 
Hey Ari,

Glad you enjoyed it...but I guess we will be missing one great photographer on our event but we have gain one extra drifter in our event......:)

welcome aboard

I dont have the pics for ots8 but my fren shot a few. The problm is that he doesnt have internet. when he comes back frm outstation, i ll try and get it frm him then i ll post ok?

As for my sifus, Skagee n Cheaka, Ricky, Space Cowboy, Tan, Tee & Jerry and sum of them i m not sure of their names... all of them answered my questions even if its a silly one. They all gave me tips here and there. When i become D1 driver... I will always remember them. HahahaHaaaa !!!!! Baru learn how to do handbrake turn oredi dreaming ... Jgn marah eh... Dreaming is free...



Neways, i was wondering, any other drifter, when they first started got this kind of feeling? Do share ur experience here plis...

Yeah dude I know the feeling. First time I manage to hold on to a slide/drift i OTS 5/6 ( can't remember) I was laughing like a hyena. its a bloody incredible feeling. holding your wheel at more than one lock (experts do at full lock.. WHOA!!) holding the throttle down and looking out the sidewindows.. AWESOME!!!! DRIFTING ROCKS!!! EVERYTHING ELSE SUCKS!!!!

u should check out drift clinic beginner, next week. contact ZeE or Mr.Nismo and put your name in there. It's a good place to start and learn the basics... as well as knowing your car handling better. :D

at last... the blue monster is drifting.. hehehehe
 
darren

check out Drift.com.my. Fee is RM70 and u get to play the whole day... from 9am to 5pm! :D surely you'll improve. also, lots of sifus will be around to give u tips on what to do and what not to do.

cheaka... not around meh next weekend? Beginner Course is on the 6th August. Should be interesting.

I'd recommend anyone who wanna start drifting, or who has been drifting alone, to enter this. Then, u can apply what u've learn into SSO or OTS. Very good indeed. :D

Drifting is so not easy.. Who ever said it was easy.. Can I said lied or must have had tones of experience and skills.. =) Don't B angry k? Heheheh.. It's true.. Not easy...

Being behind the wheel and doing it.. Fuyoh...!! *Wipes forehead..
