We have regular "drifting sessions" at Hawaii Raceway Park. Every second Saturday of the month.
Learning good drifting techniques saved my butt when I was running an "open track" event and lost my brakes. I knew it was either "drift" the next corner or hit the tire wall. I grabbed second gear early to "lock up" the rear and start the "drift". That scrubbed off a lot of speed.
I made the corner all right, but the skid marks were substantial,,,,on the track and IN the car.
Funny thing about "drifting". Learning to "drift" will clearly increase your road racing skills. But being a good "road racer" does not neccessarily make you a good "drifter".
