Drifting. Teams by Invitation only.
I think they might have spots for solo drifters, though. I forget.

Show up at the DC autocross Sept. 14 if you want to see Volvos drift. Better yet, sign up and drive.
My sister is making the drive up from Richmond to co-drive the HS 245. I hope she's rusty, that girl can freakin' drive. She lived in Reston or Herndon a long time ago, for what it's worth.
If she beats me I'll have to make the car pay...

The Jersey boys enjoy drifting as long as it's in control.
I just borrowed new Kumho Victoracers for Sept. 14.
Less drifting. More winning.

Were you in his car or yours?
Do you know Kirby road in Mclean? It T's into GW Parkway, I think.

Hitting lots of cones may displease a few people, but drifting is fine. Usually when I'm working the course and see someone slide a car out of control and recover well, we say something like "wow, that was nice."

You need something, cause I wasn't trying very hard at all and I stayed on your bumper. After that left-right combo where you were out of control, I decided to hang back a bit so I could get a clean run through the turns. :wink:

I liked that "dangerous curve ahead" sign with flashing lights that was on one of the first roads we went on. At that point I knew we were in the right place.

Something like that. On day 1 of the national tour event, I was "pole chief", so I recorded EVERY car, EVERY cone hit, the number of the cone, or if they were clean through my sector. At one point 4-5 consecutive cars hit cones. That was annoying. Then a BMW took down 9 in a single finish line finale, and I actually didn't mind that cause I wasn't setting them up, and I got a break while they held the start. :-)

I hated that line of cones at the finish. That was my station.

AE86!!!! im not sure if it was boosted, but it was the underdog at only about 200hp, granted the damn thing weighs prob like 2200pounds.

everyone (15k ppl watching) were all like, trueno! treuno! treuno!

then the same old car show and whatever....but these guys are like rock stars...they crowd dived and threw car parts into the audience.

very good show...and D1 is coming back next year to LA.
