Let me give you a run down of the track.

Start gate (or abouts where it will be)

Drag race to the FOERST corner, turn 3 of the infield.

3rd gear, flat to the floor. initiate somewhere near 5000 rpm. Slides out nicely to the passenger side. It's a left turn. Clip. Half-way through the chicane, let-off and transition. Still in 3rd. Clip. Out onto the straight to set-up for the next left-right.

3rd, around 5k still. Clutch-kick. Clip. Let-off to transition. Carry onto the back sweeper. Not quite enough power to carry the full sweeper with a KA.

Turn 6 is a decreasing radius right. Clutch, swings out, full lock, 3rd, flat to the floor. Clip. Onto the straight to turn 7.

Halfway through turn 7 I clutch. Couldn't trust it just yet to carry the whole switch-back. Out onto the oval, no more drifting. 3rd into to 4th to come up the front straight down into to turn 1,2. Back at it again from the starting line.

Yes, a low powered car can slide this beast. A couple of spots to go off, but you can brake and slow down before any major issues would arise.

I bumped a tire barrier, no damage

this is what he posted up on driftstl, after driving on it the last two days, sounds like hella fun[/quote]
