Hi, im new!

[protomor]

Hi! My names yoshi. I drive a 1989 bmw 325i in VA USA. As you can tell, Im a drifter. If you dont know what it is, look closely at the pictures below. I drive out of control for kicks basically.

If you think my paint job is cool, FYI its rustoleum paint paint (not spray) that was rolled on with a paint roller. Mods include:
3.73 LSD rear end
Autothority chip
B&M short shifter
H&R race springs and sway bars
Bilstein sport shocks
K-Mac camber/caster plates
No interior except door panels
Deleted AC but I still have Power steering
and a bunch of other stuff.

Picture time!

Haha, there are alot of dicussions going on about who started drifting. Most people say somewhere in japan. *shrugs* www.drift411.com www.usdrift.com www.lookoutdrift.com if you wanna read about it.

Im currently something like 15th place nationally in USDrift. I havent checked the standings lately. But I assure you, it isnt easy doing 80mph sideways.

You must be good then mate, Ive heard and seen alot about driftin in in the U.S, its massive over there. Anyway welcome to the zone !!!

[protomor]

lol. I wouldnt say im good. USD is the closest to grassroots. They give guys like me, without sponsors, a chance to get into the formula D events. USD is more east coast than national if you ask me. I also wouldnt say its massive over here. I still get pulled over for sliding a corner and the police officer has no idea what drifting is.

Its really big in the california area tho. Where I live, theres only a couple dozen people that drift or even know what it is. Thanks for the compliment tho. I still have a long way.

welcome to the zone

hmm not sure you recovered the slide on that first photo now did you?

We have a drift king over here - he's 54 years old and sacrificed his F1 career to drive sideways on television for a living back in the early 80s - names Needell... Tiff Needell

[protomor]

heeey tiff needell. I knew him as a F1 driver, I didnt know he did drifting! That first picture of me is me going into the infield not doing the oval. Its really a 180 which is why it looks like im going to go off into the grass. I think when that shot was taken, that tire in the rear that you can see, blew out.
