Drift

            
             An introduction to the fastest growing automotive sport today .
            
            
             Drifting is getting your car to slide sideways down a road.
             Then, using a car's momentum , to propel it around a turn, all the while maintaining control.
             How Do You Drift?.
             There are two ways to do a drift: .
             1) Put the car into second gear, let the car rev up around the turn and then throw it in to gear at the right moment to pull out.
             2) Pull the e-brake to cause the wheels to lock up whipping the rear of the car around a turn and then release to regain control coming out of the turn.

             Drifting Techniques.
             Side.
             Shift Lock.
             Power Over.
             Braking.
             Feint.
             Accele Off.
             The Physics of Drifting.
             Understeer:  .
             Too much brakes-locked front wheels .
             Not enough braking-no weight transfer .
             Need to decrease speed and gain traction to stay on the road .
             Cannot accelerate until understeer stops .
             Requires driver to wait until front gains traction .
             No FUN .
             Physics of Drifting Cont?.
             Oversteer:.
             Too much weight transfer to front .
             Needs counter steer to stay on road .
             Can accelerate moderately   .
             Requires precise driver input .
             Really FUN .
             Physics of Drifting Cont?.
             Weight transfer through breaking.
             Tires grip better the more weight applied to them.
             Braking locks up rear and put more force on front tires.
             Origins of Drifting.
             Originated in the mountain passes of Japan and gathered a cult like following.
             Commonly used in rally races because of the slick surfaces they race on.
             The Sport Today.
             Still practiced underground all over the world today.
             Like any sport, it has its super stars, and the best drifter in the world holds the titleDorkin? or drift king. .
             There are now drifting competitions all over the world and you can catch one at English Town in New Jersey where drift competitions are held the last Wednesday of every month.
