Why Grassroots Drifting is Awesome!- And How You Can Get Started

[@NIGHTRIDEPL]

very good episode. More drifting from you guys!

[@TheMapleDaily]

Cool seeing you here! Love your videos greatly, if only one day G&G could do a collab with you!

[@dack981]

This would've been extra cool to see as a collab w/ ChrisFix and his DriftStang.

How’d it go??

[@rubbertoe.]

Drifting is my all time favorite Motorsport. I try and spectate at every event I can. Cheapest way to get into drifting is just start with sim racing, it’s surprising how much assetto corsa can teach you

[@Songoku073]

I usually crash into every barrier on the track 😂

[@fuckngreat8955]

Getting a 150HP car with lowering springs and a welded diff is the best way to learn, Reliable cars and seat time are most important If you cant drift a bone stock 150HP car, you cant drift a fully set up 1200HP car either

[@rubbertoe.]

@@fuckngreat8955 considering I'm 18, in college, I definitely don't have the funds for an actual drift car. My car right now is a RWD manual Lexus IS250. But I need to to stay reliable. I've taken it to a winter track day for snow drifting, since it's low tire wear and not too hard on the car. Sim racing helped me insanely as I was fully comfortable with drifting it there, like I've been doing it for years. I started playing Assetto when I was 14 and had a wheel since I was 8. Lots of digital seat time can definitely help irl

[@fuckngreat8955]

@@rubbertoe. it can help ALOT for sure, especially with Sim racing setups that use real car steering wheels and clutch pedals+steering wheels with the correct amount of feedback, Im 18 too, and going back to why Low power drifting is the best to learn, I have a drift daily (E46 sedan) with a good clutch because OEM BMW sucks for drifting, lowering springs, a welded diff and a ZF trans which is pretty much bulletproof, and drifting that thing that barely makes 150WHP made it so i can slide almost all of my friends cars with a welded diff, while people that started drifting a 500WHP car, really struggle with my car because they simply dont have the knowledge how to do the hard initiations you have to do in a slow car

[@rubbertoe.]

@@fuckngreat8955 totally agree. Like you said before, if you can't drift a 150whp car, a 500hp one won't do you any better either.

[@loluracing]

Woohoo. I made it in the video!! Purple Z @1:25

[@jdmfreak22]

Good one Luke!!! Now we need to see you drifting! :)

[@bautistavazquez6295]

As a grassroots drifter I love the guys at sprit one day I'll make the trip from florida

[@TheSwedishCarGuy]

I have a drifting video on my channel if you want to check out the swedish car scene as well :)

[@TheMstaquiroz]

The only channel that I instantly click on when something new it out. No hesitation. Fantastic video as always.

[@jb.drift22]

Great video Luke! I drive at Spirit as often as I can in my stock angle, stock power 240! I started at the drift school doing donuts and am now working on fast, big angle entries and tandem!

[@spikespiegel6587]

I love these drift missiles. It's a true testament of your experience and progress.

[@brianramirez3526]

I hate what Spirit became. But it was fun watching my friends drift in RVA.

[@BjornFSE]

Love the shift in content portrayed here enjoyed this view 👌🏽

[@rockyhernandez5978]

Love the video! I am from Texas, there are local events that I use to go to and drive. I have not been able to go to an event in about 2-3 years. Watching this video makes my hands sweet and adrenaline rush. I love events like this. nothing but cool people and great times!

[@thelifeofguyon]

I did a drift school in my Miata with SpiritJP. It was great!

[@cmooreworld6789]

This is so from the left field that I just love it

[@space_demxn1558]

That part about ride along is resonating with me extremely hard. My first car was fwd, bcz I was never into drifting and I thought it wouldn't make much difference. After that one time I got to sit on a passenger seat, while going sideways on a streeto, my entire take on car community changed. It became a regular habit, that whenever it rains, I'm going to hotspots and most of my friends right now are from these exact places, heck, I was even able to get a job from meeting people there, and it feels great to be part of these places

[@nstorm390]

Yes you guys posted this!!! It was really great meeting you guys at the Touge Event!! And that's for my cameo 8:17. 😁👍❤

[@FierceMotorworks]

It would be nice to like a website or include locations. Not everyone has their own truck and trailer to drive hundreds of miles away to get to an event

[@iamshakil10]

Need more drifting in this channel ..... luke keep posting about drift stuff

[@tomwagemans1872]

Drifting is not my thing but the car control these guys have is amazing. As always a great episode.

[@basithph8958]

I would love to get into drifting someday

[@wuffysgarage]

New edge love we love to see it, even tho mine is broken

[@f18hornetm]

Heck yea man! That's my new edge in the video!

[@Qius_Cars]

I love watching Spirit JP! Went out lots last year to practice some photography and these people kill it all the time

[@HouseofDrifting]

Heck yea! Much love to grassroots drifting. Just started drifting an stock power E46 with angle and it’s literally cocaine every time I get sideways.

[@killedrome2]

what model e46? im thinking of getting one, theyre extremely cheap where i live.

[@HouseofDrifting]

@@killedrome2 2000 323ci. And that’s awesome! Highly recommend, just make sure the cooling system and subframe is good

[@TheSemo66]

That means.... a drift project is in the pipeline boys💪💪💪

[@TheSwedishCarGuy]

This is so good :D As a smaller creator showcasing the swedish car scene this is so good :D

[@Wadezlow]

Jack and Joe are phenomenal people with tons of experience! They put on the best events in the VA/NC area.

[@batchmotorsport]

Well this is awesome. What a great group. There is a beautiful skid pan here but, of course they let people build houses beside it.

[@SeanLewisMedia]

Wonderful video! I've been making RC Drift content for a bit and driving a lot but always dreamed of really doing it! Thanks for making this!

[@bradshephard2177]

I would love to see more gears and gasoline drifting content. Luke is awesome, his car is awesome, and as always the content is top notch quality

[@haruguchimane6921]

ahhhh i love grassroots drifting, would love to get into it someday. nothing cooler than seeing japanese cars being driven hard like they should, rather than keeping them as a garage queen and selling them for twice they're worth...

[@connorbonstein4048]

This is what the people have wanted!! Well, at least this person... me... love it!

[@milkforcoffee]

Thank you! Keep it stock and learn! Excellent advice not just for drifting!

Love drifting but I hate absolutely hate denting / scraping my cars and would probably be too nervous to do tandems, but this is like an art form.

A clean and fresh modified car will always be cool,but there is nothing better than seeing a car with storied battle scars

[@hoodzie9671]

More of this guy! Please!

[@seanroy3241]

I was really hoping to see you driving too, get out there and shred Luke!

[@joshsuelto]

a non flooded salvage title is probably the best car to drift or track(maybe)

[@Chocolate_dragon]

Drifting got sorta going in my area. I built a budget 350z and was getting into it. Then they closed the skid pad for whatever reason...sucked for me. Sold my car on ebay. Loved it. We do have 2 grip tracks so I thought about making a grip build to play with. But it's so cost prohibited. I could get drift tires from my local tire shop for 10 to 20 dollars each (used scrubs to just burn off) plus other costs.

[@kavan1773]

Man you guys put out great content for the car community

[@ShotbyJavi]

Awesome job Luke!!! Video is killer!

Great Video Luke.

[@MrAudi220]

Any sports always begins and ends with grassroots and it is the core value of any sports because it revolves around having fun, creating friends for life and doing it all on a low budget, the atmosphere is how it should be and the hassles are at a minimum,the moment you hear professional in sports, your hobby goes out the window and it becomes a job because you have sponsors who have demands, who have invested money in you so they can be in the spotlight to sell their products, your personal interest become pleasing these sponsors, their schedule becomes your schedule, and those fun weekends without drama and problems spending time with your friends become faded memories of the past, at that point you realise you are becoming a adult and you return to the things that gave real meaning to your life and that is why pro's become ex-pro's returning to spend time with their old friends at grassroots events and some become grassroots instructors inspiring the younger generations amen...loved this video btw.✌️

seems fun ayeeeee

[@jp2246]

Great job on this video 👍

[@BeardedWrencher]

I don't know if this is the right place for this, but I am not sure where to turn. I want to learn how to drift. Just for myself to learn and have some fun and maybe meet some new like-minded friends. Do they do these schools here in Michigan? Or somewhere nearby within driving distance? I have a Volvo 240 which is probably grossly inadequate for drifting, but I want to turbo the car and replace the camshaft with a better grind and have fun learning.
