........ I must say holding a controlled drift is definitely a skill.......... If anything you learn a few new things your car is capable of.

What is not cool is the 90% of the idiots that try and do drifts around corners at local meets.......... I know you run some drift sessions in racecity Rage........but up here we have too many idiots that think Jasper Ave is the place to throw it left/hard right and then WOW the bystanders with a half assesed attempt.

I am sure you have heard of accidents/close calls from some of your locals trying out there mad skillz.

The fact is we don't have the facilities for them to try this. I am not sure if the Solo2 guys would be to excited about seeing guys drifting around the course...........

.......and the reality is that in the younger crowd. "Drifting is cool" it has nothing to do with developing better driving skills. (Complete generalization that applies to 90%)




P.S ..............auggh.......... I can't believe the roads were clear and now there is a half a foot of snow on the ground and its still coming !!!!!!!!!! You have to love Alberta weather....
