Thank you. Hahah! At least you go to jail, knowing you had skills and understanding of automobile dynamics.
There needs to be more ways we can cater to those coming in to the sport of performance driving, willing to pay a small fee in lieu of going to jail, and gaining skills.
Unfortunately in America, that is being threatened as we speak. Most of the amateur drifting venues have been shut down or are in a constant battle with encroaching real-estate developers who like to see tire noises and rubber smell go away to raise the value of land.
I've spent the last decade establishing a formula, risk management, insurance definitions, venue repair and maintenance estimates, safe and fun driving course designs, curriculum and instructors. However, for every one I accomplished, there were 20 more that got crushed, or some kid fell off a canyon in the mountains that created drama that killed it all. Only thing left now is professional venues, but that is now reserved for corporate ads, rich man's sons, and we are only left with enough resources to spectate them in mad jealousy. This has to change, and FRS is a welcome addition to make more people aware and realize that performance driving can be sane, safe, and reasonable.
I'm sorry, I've digressed from the original topic, haven't I?
