Drift school in so cal?

So i just started watching initial D... for those of you that have seen it im sure you know the feeling i'm talking about. After watching the whole first stage in 2 days, I'm pretty interested in taking some drift lessons and was wondering if anyone knows a place in so cal. im in the LA area.

I know they hold a few sessions at Irwindale speedway since it's become "the house of drift". I would just google it and it should come up.

Ya like The1andOnly said, you should be able to find something at Irwindale... My buddy (who drifts professionally) actually taught me how to... It's fun as hell drifting corners at 2 am.... Especially the freeway on and off ramps!!! I kinda drifted an on ramp on to the 60 frwy in front of The1and Only on the way to Spocom, but I don't think he saw it... He was driving like a friggen grandma... LOL

I saw it, which is the main reason why I didn't take that turn as hard as you! I can take it harder now with the coils

I left that other guy wayyyyyy behind though.

sexy ;], i dont think tracks gives out lesson tho, you can go to the track, find a drifter and pay him to teach you ;]. i know willow springs in palm dale are big in drifting. i go once a month. if u want a teacher, 626 drift crew might do it.

The tracks don't teach the classes, but I've seen the classes held at Irwindale speedway.

LOL..I know. We actually would've made it there if we took that 1st exit off the 405.

I'm teeling you though dude it was that bottem end loss, cause you jumped, and then I punched it right after you and I didn't feel all the power kick until I was well into the mid-range.
