Drifting in a 3500 DRW

For those not familiar with "drifting", it is basically a controlled slide, kinda like World of Outlaw without the dirt. It is the rage with the "Ricer" crowd. Some owner of a Ram 3500 CC DRW 4x4 thought he would give it a try.

Here is someone else with more money than brains too.

That is really interesting. Like how in the video he turns around and comes back the same way he went in. Just need to get that guy on here, if he isnt already

NOW THAT IS WHAT I CALL DRIVING!!

Notice the judicious use of the skinny pedal to control the slide!

Very nicely done. Now do it on dry pavement and he'll drive just like me!!

As for the second one that is John Rodriguez DTR member just before he bought tires

Whoa! That's insane.. Never thought I'd ever see drifting in a dually. Burnout video was cool too. Waste of $$$ in tires tho.

That was awesome. I wish I could find a nice wide turn with no traffic to try that on.

I've seen John's title of tire hater and now I can see how he got it

The dually driver gets my props. Good form and technical proficiency. Lost some points for overshooting the 180. (Nothing lets the cops catch up like overshooting a 180...)
