DONT KILL ME (WHERE TO DRIFT:NOOB)

hey guys i was just wondering if there are any tracks around for BEGINNER FRIENDLY drifting. I actually want to get into the art of it. I've owned hondas all my life and this is my first RWD car and i want to take full advantage of it. i don't want to be some dumbs that tries to drift on the streets and hurt myself and other people in the process.

i heard of

Adams track-
Can someone chime in and let me know how beginner friendly thursday nights are? i don't want to show up and slow down the entire night for other people.

Button Willow-
this track is pretty far from my location i live in the (714) so distance is somewhat of an issue

if someone has an experience at Adams can you please chime in? much appreciated in advance.

Adams is beginner friendly in the sense of being a noob driver but the course is not. It is fairly narrow since its a glorified kart track. I go to the Tuesday time attack myself. Just show up on a Thursday and watch the first session. If you feel comfortable join in on 2nd.

Just Drift @ The Balcony/Willow Springs.

Or better yet, go to autocross and learn car control first before you learn how to drift.

adams is beginner friendly, but if you mess up you WILL break something going off track. it is horribly maintained i used to take my v8 miata there, but its better at a real track like willow. They have other go kart tracks that are better like Grange there is a track day coming up in a month or so come out to that if u wanna learn i'll be there i can help you out.
