Come join the party- Post up in the track car thread. We don't have any concerns for cutting up Soarer's in there.


I do have to ask though, what is the story with the rust?

Needs a front bar imo ;) Have you tried drifting it yet? I notice with my car its a little to sloppy on the front wheels atm do you have this issue? But in saying that i don't have adjustable sway bars yet to stiffen it up a bit.

I just mean I don't find it entertaining nor am I interested in taking part in it - for me getting a car around a track/road in the quickest and most efficient way possible is exciting, not how sideways the car gets.

Drifting is awesome, the amount of control these guys have is amazing!

but yes i agree with you Matt, circuit racing, time trials, motorkhanas are probably my pick too

Oh I wouldn't argue it takes great skill and hours of practice! Definitely an art form - I just can't see it as motorsport though, and it kinda makes me cringe watching the abuse the cars go through - maybe I have too much mechanical sympathy.
