Leeching off of the donut thread's popularity...

Are there any good places to learn to drift? I'd prefer a remote area that you could hang around in for a while...

I'm in Bethesda, but my 240-driving-friend lives in Columbia, so anywhere in between here and there would be cool... We're willing to drive a little North, too.

I would suggest checking out http://drift411.com/forums/

The best way to learn how to drift is to go to a school to learn not just some place where nobody is that you can try it out.

I know they do drifting out at old dominion speedway in manassas and at summit point raceway and I think they hold drifting schools in both locations.

You will find on this forum that most of us are more into track and autox rather than drifting (the ice skating of motorsports )

Drift Nirvana seems to be running at Summit with reasonable frequency.

Well, that's nice if you've got the money... My friends and I are kind of broke.

But, while that's something I'm interested in, I feel like I'd get the most out of it after I played around on my own first. Do some donuts, figure 8s and get a better feel of the car and how to manipulate the weight somewhat.

You'll learn so much more about drifting without breaking your car with a teacher. If you want to get a handle on car control, go to an autocross. Less chance of getting in legal trouble, and you'll have the opportunity to see just how bad a driver you really are.
