The driver isn't very good at it.

Drifting is fun - used to do it all the time in my '99 MX-5. The S2000 isn't as tossable as the miata, but it still gets the job done.

stage road out near la honda...there's a big sweeper with a house on the inside. entrance is downhill, exit is uphill. road is quite wide in this spot. there's a bit of loose gravel to help you out.

be careful, going south from 84 about 2 minutes into it they've been patching potholes...but failed to sweep the road!!!

I've been drifting a bit more these days, especially since my tires are at the wear bars on the inside of all four wheels

I see you were out on a skid pan. Were you at a driving school, and were those your S2Ks???

Some of us did the same thing at the San Bernardino driving school, but we couldn;t use our own cars.

Looks like you can get pretty wet with the top down.
