M'kay, so I just got back from Adam's Motorsports Park. I tried out one of their drift nights. Actually for the price, it's quite a steal ($3/person for parking, $20/hour to drive, $10 to be a passenger). However I came across two very obvious issues whilst I was there. 1. The attendees are mainly comprised of highschoolers and/or very prickly folks who don't like to reach out to new folks. 2. The S2K is really hard to drift, or I suck at it or both. I've drifted some cars in my day, but the S2K...WTF? It's gonna take some serious track time to figure out this car (for drifting....I got the whole AutoX/Road Course thing figured out).

Anyone else have experience drifting or attending Adam's Motorsports Park?

ive been to adams a few times for their time attack but never the drift sessions. I cant imagine drifting the s properly, its the exact opposite of what its supposed to do. ive had my fair share of drifts on track by accident but i doubt i could consistently do it. i think you would just have to go medium speed and clutch kick mid corner to make it happen consistantly

 

i can do it easy... not from a roll... from a dig...


but then i did it in a 67 plymouth w/hemi way before most of you kids were twinkles in your daddys eye...

there's an article in an ancient Honda Tunaing... i think it was RSR... the red and white colors... built one to drift... some total geometric angle changes and they had to do something wild to the whole steering rig, don't ask me why... (and i read the article... at least 2 times)...

 

That article is awesome for explaing why you shouldn't drift the S2000, the fact that the had to make rear suspension geometry worse to make it consistantly slide gives you the answer

I think I'll keep going...but under the guise of "rally" practice

 

I came across this video awhile back of a stock S doing..iguess it's all in approach

more power will make you drift unfortunately on a fully stock S you will not accomplish this

 

I think it can be done, but we're talkin' 2nd gear bumpin the rev...i don't see how else it can be done... Just cuz it's hard doesn't mean somebody shouldn't try, right? I mean I'm building a 2nd gen RX7 for rally for crying out loud!

heck, there was even a nissan frontier drifting last night, holy cow!

 

you can try and think you will be drifting you will need more power and suspension at least the basics ...

suspension-coilovers
motor -intake, exhaust, bigger tb, headers, test pipe aem piggyback and tune then give it a go

or if you got money to blow forced induction preferably a supercharger...

building a car and driving a car are 2 different things.
