Right? My dad gave it to me the summer before my 10th birthday. With my dad's help I broke and fixed a bunch of stuff over the next 3 or 4 years.
Little 6 Volt with a generator. We repaired that thing. I learned how to polarize it and why it was required. Loaded and turned it on the bench with a drill - nothing Polarized it cranked it again - light illuminated and I could feel the drag on the drill.

I don't question the value, but intentionally drifting or losing control can put a site at risk... there are plenty of chances to learn control without keeping it over the edge. Or sign up for a drift event.

Didn't think you did. Until now, I had never considered it.

Sure but I'm not the fastest by a long shot. I focus on smooth inputs including shifts which means my intervals are longer than someone wearing their game face, if that makes any sense.

I'm still working on smooth steering inputs when entering a slalom along with steady throttle. Car is so direct that one little mess up and there goes your time. Now I understand why people say this car (and the Miata) are momentum cars. Do everything good and you'll be rewarded, mess up too many times and disappointment will ensue. |
