Track = Helmet. Full stop.
But this was not a timed event or competition... it was learning to drift in my car. And to be quite honest, I found it strangely peaceful to perform the clutch kick, find myself sideways, release the wheel, and control the slide by modulating throttle - once I learned how. One of the hardest parts was actually relaxing and "letting go" of the wheel - e.g. not fighting the car in the initial seconds. And music definitely added to the experience. Perhaps if it were a competition I would have been more focused, but in all honesty I was trying to maximize my pleasure and it was a blast.
Guess I'm just a boring hamster wannabe poser.
