Question Sand Drifting...what center of gravity?

Sand Drifting

Who says you need a performance setup to safely drift. This video even shows, you don't need to worry about the law.

My only real tech question is how a car with such a high center of gravity can do this kind of extreme drifting without rolling. All the drifting I see in the states is done by lowered/tweeked cars with suspensions to go with them.

I mean get serious if Kelsey Grammer can roll a Viper......

Have you seen other videos from this same group?

Here is a good one

A even better one (Very Very NWS)

The videos clearly show why the middle east needs to rethink the whole america is retarded thing. Since they clearly have outdone us on a compleately new level.

That guy was a true "Street" Drifter...he just kept drifting even after property damage! Then those guys afterwards were about to make their own mess, running across the street like that....smart.

You'd be suprised, the Saudi's and Baharaini's are so into this kind of crap.

And yes, unfortunately, 98% of the 'locals' here think they are indestructable and extremely stupid.

I guess they think it's 'cool', kind of makes me wonder why they never come down to the race track and really show off what they can do

Note: Did you notice the ERHABE words in the movie? ERHABE means Terrorist no suprises!

Hosrom,
we want 951 sand drifting footage! See it you can put a guy through the windsheild and out the rear hatch, that would be tight!

Sand drifting is awesome - but it doesn't quite compare to the snow drifting we have in the USSR.

That is the most idiotic thing I have ever seen. "Hey guys, lets stand at the side of the road while this guy induces huge slides in a Toyota Camry at 100 mph." Those idiots deserve to get hit and killed for doing that. I have never seen anything more worthless than this.......

I don't know. The whole thing kinda made me sad.

Left me shaking my head, wondering where in the world we (the human race) are heading.
