Yeah, that pontiac rocks but you should see what one 50 buick did last year.... I'm not sure. maybe there is a youtube video....
Actually, dirt tracking is only racing if you do it on dirt. This kind of drifting is never the fastest way around a paved circuit.
There is no serious damage. Wheel came off because nuts went through the wheel. I suppose it's because the adapter's outer diameter is too small to support the wheel. Too bad I had to quit, I was just about to get it going. Anyways, it was fun and I also got rewarded for it. This was the only billet part in the car and it didn't work. Lesson: never use billet in a hot rod. More cool pics http://public.fotki.com/MercComet/cars/freak-race-/freak-race-2009/
I sit in a cl*** all day with guys watching you tube videos of nissans and toyotas drifting never really impressed because that is not my scene. Showed them this video after being told that it would be impossible to swing a car around a corner that is that big... They are eating there words right now!!
Very cool I keep waiting to see a crazy chopped merc smoking the tires sideways. Hey Jesse you up for it?
Not a merc but there was also a chopped 50 baby lincoln doing that..... Some pics by Kata: http://kuvablogi.com/blog/7267/30/1/ And by MercComet: http://public.fotki.com/MercComet/cars/freak-race-/freak-race-2009/
When that Mustang was drifting there was a european version of the Cradle of Love by Johnny Preston do you know who sang it in this video?
The singer is Esa Pakarinen and the song itself is "Rokki on poikaa". It is recorded in Finnish 1974. Great song, great artist
Agreed. Nothign like that seems to ever happen inthe US. Austrailia has THE format for burnout contests and now the Fin's have THE format for drifting. Very cool!
could you see the look on a honda civic drivers face if that big black car was sliding towards him in one of the curves!!!! lol
