Did anyone notice the 2 peeps standing by the tree?

Maybe it's the angle, but they didn't even flinch!
Then afterwards, just walk on by staring over their shoulders.

F!

I would have jumped over and checked if he was okay.

This took place at Qualcomm last weekend. It's hard to see on the video, but there's a blue barrel just before you see the low divider wall that he wound up driving into just before he hit the tree. That barrel was the middle of three along that wall, and was the initiation point that most of the better drivers with more power were starting their drift at. Around that point he started to turn his wheels but I think he was so off-balance at that point that he basically power understeered into the wall.

Really that track was an accident waiting to happen (and that wasn't the first accident of the day, though it was the worst). First the initial straight where the drivers built speed for the first long drift angled toward that wall, and came very close to the curb before turning into a long left-hand curve. Second, drivers were allowed to list their own skill level. The guy in the 350Z put himself in the advanced group, but he absolutely did not have the skill to back it up. Most of the time he couldn't complete a drift around the big curve, and he had a really hard time linking any of his drifts. The car he was driving was a turbocharged Megan Racing sponsored drift car that really had more power than he could handle.

Fortunately both the driver and passenger were fine, though a bit shooken up. Unfortunately there's question as to whether the Q will allow any more drift events in the future.

To everyone out there, unfortunately in this event Mr. Maehara who drives for Megan Racing could not initiate when we intended to as well when trying to kick the clutch once again hit some gravel which caused his car to lose front tire Grip and understeer into the barrier. Now I am not saying he is an awesome driver but he is a consistent driver who is much better than pictured in this video. I do not want sound upset here but it is hard to read uneducated posts about drifing here, when most people here have not even driven at a Drift Day, Drift Buffet or Drift Circuit Event. Mr. Maehara is an advanced DA Driver and has just started running the 350Z over the older S14 he was running before, and perhaps most people here should try to get in a car and initiate at over 60 MPH (Still Slow) and hit the correct clipping points. Now I am sure someone will jump on here and try to overpower me with their Drifting knowledge but that is my opinion.
