There's supposedly a session for beginners at 6pm. I don't know how to drift either.

I don't know if it's a good idea to let some beginners drifting around your brand new car~I will rather go solo

im pretty sure that you would go one by one during the beginners sessions.
There was something called Drift 101 too for Irwindale but when I went to the website, it has'nt been updated for a while.

iv taken mine to the event in irwindale, it seems more beginner friendly; therefore i'd suggest you try that first. but i paid for the whole night and only got like 5 runs. here's a video of my z at irwindale speedway. and my tires are still good, but thats probably because i suck at drifting.

Nice. From your video it seems like there's more room for mistakes at the Irwindale track than there would be at the Kart track. Did you happen to see if they were still doing Drift 101 at Irwindale? I'm sure we can just go sideways in our cars, but I probably wouldn't mind paying for a quick lesson.

Also, were you using your stock tires? How many miles did you wait till you drifted your Z? I'm still in my break in period, about 500-something miles.

Im on stock tires, i had about 10k miles on the car. I have no idea about the drift lessons, all i did was kick the clutch and seemed to work well for me. but our cars have some kind of stability control even with traction control off, this makes it difficult to slide. do some research in the track section about turning that off, or talk to a member named triples, he'll help you out. also, you might want to get an oil cooler and break fluid because it will get pretty hot. you should also wait until you break in the car, just in case.
