So I installed the positive cable, and I seriously messed up. \u00a0I ran like 3 times at the practice course and then moved to doing doughnuts in the skid pad where the car decided to shut off completely. Turns out I didn&#8217;t double check my cable work and fried my new pos battery cable. \u00a0I went a head and \u00a0put back on the old cable and still it wouldn&#8217;t turn back on. Waylon suggested it is the negative cable cut it back a little and try again.<\/p>\n<p>So I did so and now it is all working. I went and had fun back in the practice course. Where I was a bit intimidated because all I know how to do successfully is clutch kick to transfer the power to the rear tires. \u00a0 At the first turn it is a long turn then it gets to the end of the turn it gets to a sharp turn, where I would feel I can actually get sideways in then move forward but it still feels a bit uncontrolled. I started today with keeping the speed slow where I still feel like I am coming in too fast.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.g-funk.net\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/vd27\/vpard3hires-1024x583.jpg\" target=\"new\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.g-funk.net\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/vd27\/vpard3hires-1024x583.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a>I attempted to do a feint drift but when I turn left and right the car follows so does the weight and the transfer is instant and I retain grip, as I must not be doing something right because I am getting way too much grip. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0My goal is to do a slick smooth initiation that I can do the float feel around the corner and the feel I am more in control of the drift. \u00a0I feel I need to come over the fear of being intimidated of the course and learn more with technique. \u00a0 The grip I also suspect that heat was a major factor as it was 110 &#8211; 112 out with about 135 &#8211; 140F on the pavement.<\/p>\n<p>Practice course was on the left color coded with the white car, Pro-Am Round 3 took place on the red car to the right. I actually wiped out after the second turn if I gave it too much gas after I would clutch it. \u00a0The course is longer then it looks, and the white cars make it look easy. \u00a0 As it feels like you can fit 3 of the cars side by side in that course. I seen the pro&#8217;s actually drift it and carry the long drift in the first corner, but the second corner I seen alot of people have trouble possibly to the heat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.g-funk.net\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/vd27\/vpa_r3-1024x568.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Till the next practice, or till next ProAm + Practice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ngg_shortcode_0_placeholder<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>110 degrees&#8230; on a typical las vegas summer day, and I ask myself why am I here? because I am here to drift..
