At first I didn't understand

I still don't, but that's pretty cool.
What kind of cars are those? I want one.

I think they are all Nissan Silvias but I'm not a big Nissan fan so i'm not sure. Have you ever watched Gymkhana? Guy has done some pretty sick videos like this.

Yes! That guy has some serious talent! The new video he put out is amazing!

The majority of them are Nissan 180sx's which are equivalent to the usdm 240sx, the black one would be a Silvia S14 (also a usdm 240sx)

True drift cars, those cars are beat to hell.

They're all USDM 240SXs... no 180s, no Silvias... They're all in New Jersey. I've seen a few of those beat to shit cars on the road, actually. Raceway Park is about an hour from me. I often drive past it at work.

I've seen a drift event there before, YEARS ago... these guys were probably driving some of those cars... though the drifting in this video is much more impressive than anything I saw at that event.

I'm actually wondering how they managed to do this. Raceway Park is pretty secure, and they wouldn't usually just let a bunch of hooligans rip around the track, parking lot, etc...

Sadly, this is the first I've seen of their new road course. The CB7 will be competing on that course sooner or later.




Also, just because Ken Block is known for his outrageous videos where he rips around a vacant warehouse... which kinda looks like this... this video is not gymkhana. Gymkhana essentially refers to a complex autocross course, not high speed tandem drifting.

haha. I wasn't paying that much attention. Saw hands throwing stuff from the passenger side and assumed they were rhd. Thanks for correcting my lack of attention. Haha.

all i saw was "snaking" from mario kart

That video is more of what the import scene needs.

Sure, they're being completely wreckless and total asshats, but they are doing so on a closed course and having a blast while doing so. Bravo.

I couldn't agree more.

That video was awesome.

[deevergote]

reckless, not wreckless... though none of them wrecked, so I suppose that holds true.


But I agree. What they're doing was PROBABLY allowed by Raceway Park, seeing as posting a video of it (clearly showing where they are) that shows their names and faces would get them in serious trouble otherwise.
There's nothing wrong with what they're doing, aside from the obvious safety risks... but they all accepted those risks, and I assume they're all adults, capable of making that decision.

That on public roads, I'd be pissed. That on a closed course, it's pretty cool.
The sad thing is, stupid kids will see stuff like this and do it on public roads. You can't blame the guys that made the video, but that's just how it is.

[cbscandal]

What does this have to do with gymkhana?

[deevergote]

Absolutely nothing.
