Back in Canada

Post by {FC}DriftingCanadian13b »

I left Atlanta sometime between Francis and Ivan. It was a long dive I went up I-75 to Detrot the 401 to 416 to Ottawa. It took 2 days. Driving up through Tenesse and Kentucky was cool. Nice winding roads at 90mph. I didn't see a single cop the whole way up. Plus I shadowed semi-trucks most of the way so I got really good gas millage I just stayed in thier slipstream. Fillled up once along the way to Detrot. Anyways there are some drift 240's running around up here. I had a little run with the local drifter team. Lost them after the third turn. Looked back and they were gone. Lots of rice up here. A sunfire should not be riced but low-and-behold. Anyways.
There is a nice road going between kingston and Ottawa that looks really nice for drifting take a look.

I went for a slow run to get the lay of the land took about two hours. So I looking forward to getting in a run or to before it snows and exams come up.

Drifting is a form of creation, they just want to see what happens when they turn the world sideways, they want to slide the world

Damn, yo!
That road looks nice!!

How long of a drive was it altogether? I just drove up through Kentucky, Tennessee, & Illinois to get to Chicago. It was a great drive... I would do it again next weekend in a heartbeat!

Hope your travels were safe!

It was about a two hour drive, each way. I ran it an average of 65, for most of it. Very little traffic so I was having a blast. I used a grip drift combo through most of some of sharper turns I didn't break it lose. I just wasn't use to the road yet. In spring I'll run it some more to find the right angles.
