Great podcast. Hearing the safety concerns really hit home. This was one of the reasons I stopped drifting and turned more attention toward road racing/motorcycles. The level of car prep was (and still is, 15+ years later) astonishingly bad.
I feel for Rathyna about struggling to get good turnout with ‘stringent’ safety regulations, but you’d much rather have 30 drivers with no incidents than 300 drivers, 3 fires and 2 injuries. I’ve always thought hosting a ‘tech day’ would be a good idea. Pay a small amount, come out and have someone who has knowledge actually show you the minimum proper safety requirements. I’m hoping as said in the podcast, these drifters are ‘dumb’ without knowing it, not ‘trying to be dumb’.
Oh, and a Z32 looks WAY better than a Z33.
Just wanna say love the pod. The OG “Slide Squad” with the milspec honda civic was Dave Scholz at ig: sennavsprost and the baby blue s13 was Mark Hutchinson at ig: mark_slide_squad
Slidesquad was Dave Scholz in the EF civic and Mark Hutchinson in the S13. http://www.superstreetonline.com/features/1989-nissan-240sx-1989-honda-civic-drifting-cars/
