very nice car though, don't take it the wrong way.
Thanks and no I've got way too thick of skin to take anything the wrong way....
Guys, understand I'm not here or on CC to wave the Drifting Flag and try to convince everyone to do it.... Would I like to see more Mustangs out there... sure, that would be great but I (coming from a lifelong career in racing) know that Drifting is a tough thing for some folks to get their arms around..... I'm on here, CC and other sites to gain knowledge and share my experiences that may help others.... just like Ya'll......
Drifting is not for everybody but either is F1, NASCAR or SCCA but they are all fun, require skills to excel.... and cost a ton to do...... We got involved in Drifting because it's one of the last forms of motorsport (notice I didn't say racing, which it isn't in any stretch) where you as a driver can actually start at the grassroot level and advance through the ranks to a level where you can make a living.... Racing used to be that way but now if your not 16 years old and have a rich daddy, you're out of luck.... As evidence, I live right in the heart of NASCAR country and there are good drivers (myself included) without cash working on every team in the industry.... And I mean guys that have won multiple championships back home!! It's the very rare occasion where somebody (over 25) gets a shot anymore... And that's fine, that's just the way it is and all the crying isn't going to change it....
Drifting for me still keeps me using the skills I've worked all my life (started 1/4 midgets at age 7) to perfect, it's somewhat affordable, there's a chance you can get picked up by a bigger team based on your skills and results on the track..... Oh and it's about as much fun as you can possible have.....
So no guys, I'm not here telling you you should stop Drag Racing, Auto X or Road Racing.... I'm just here to learn about, talk about and share about Mustangs and to figure out how to make mine better.... Just like you....
PS: If you do on the other hand want to know more about Drifting, go to my web site or send me a PM. That way we won't get rocks thrown at us.....
