Today's Lesson in Drifting:
If it's your FOERST time drifting, a 97 Supra turbo MIGHT not be your best starter car.
I had a bunch of fun today at Cordele, but it was friggin' impossible to get that car to behave the way I wanted it to, haha. Why was I driving a Supra instead of the 240? Because my turbo decided to blow an oil seal yesterday during final preparation. So my friend decided to step in and provide a car so I wouldn't feel like I wasted $$ on an entrance fee.
I didn't get much seat time (only 6 runs) since we were swapping out every 2 runs, but I think I'm still gonna have another go at it whenever the 240 gets on the road again.

Might be true, but your sig is funny as hell.

Throttle fixes everything. Love is kissing your rear bumper into a snowbank at 40 mph and not leaving a scratch. If hookers carried active differentials in their purses and knew how to use 'em, I wouldn't be married. Left-foot braking fixes everything the throttle doesn't fix, including impotence and poor self-esteem. Banging off a rev limiter while looking out a car's side window and slamming into a steering stop will cure cancer. If the car isn't moving around under power, you are a small, testicle-free squirrel. The handbrake fixes everything left-foot braking doesn't fix, including philosophical issues with most major religions and the heartbreakingly impossible question of what you should have for dinner*.

I sucked ass, but I had a ball out there. After we saw everyone getting soaked with their windows down, Jim said "We're leaving the windows up and turning on the A/C" hahaha.
I assume you were in the Lotus? I imagine your steering wheel was rather slippery.

I'll give Bandy until tomorrow to show up and post the rest, haha. I don't wanna steal his thunder.
And so y'all get an idea of how much water was out there...
