well, i guess ill take YOUR word for it, even though im out at midnight madness at gateway international every month,and at drift events all season and with a drift club named DriftSTL and have my own competition drift team here in stlouis SlidewayzSyndicate. but hey im sure you know more. i mean, hey you have a cartoon picture of an 8 on your profile, so you must actually race your rx-8. look dude, look at the bottom two pics. those were the final turn of the road course, each picture was a different run. and that my friend is drifting. maybe you need stop to hatin and get out and try initiating drifts around a road course between 60-75 mph. id love to see what youd look like out there. thanx.

ok maybe this will help u guys realize that im not parked, all you have to do is look in the back ground. im obvioulsy not sitting still. but the tires i used (Wanli tires) didnt smoke that much. so i see why you would think that, but no im not.

I appreciate what he is trying to do...as well as the fact that he's doing it at a sponsored event for people who want to drift. Good luck with your project.

hey man, sorry i was having a rough day yesterday, didnt mean to be so mean. but yeah the last two were in mid-3rd gear slides. same turns, differant runs, the forth one i did have too much slip angle but i corrected my angle and continued sideways thru the rest of the turn, like i said the Wanli didnt put much smoke out. also its a stock 8 and it was on a road course, not a graet combo if you want to see smoke. pic 2 was deffinatly a spin-out , which it happens sometimes. i figured id be real and post them all. not just the nice ones. like sum fakers. the first pic is just hauling *** in the straight away. but whether u see it or not the last two were in mid-drift.its was basically a u-style turn (maybe that might help u see it). i mainly took offense o it becuase i figured people on here would notice the good in what other people are doing with their 8's like Kwescott, in stead of just right away doggin on them. i dont think i got one bad remark on the DriftSTL forums, and those are all fellow drifters and alot of them a very good. so i guess thats what matters on the whole drifting aspect, but i roll an 8 so i posted them here too. thats all. no hard feelings. anyways i had a blast.

If a N/A FC can drift with a cut springs, a rx8 can drift...
