Honda S2000 Drifting at Infineon Raceway with Jared Thompson

[Kuken988]

nice but better ist Honda Civic Vti 1995 with S2000 Engine RWD-mod

[mikesta21]

Seems like you know the car very well. I drive an 02, so they are similar even as s2000s go. I've only done one track day at Buttonwillow, and some skidpad practice, but I would love to get you as an instructor some day! I especially want to learn how to countersteer well, which is hard with the s2ks variable power steering : (

[JaredThompson73]

hey there, I am instructing a beginner full track drift group at ThunderHill Raceway on Dec. 20th. Let me know if you would like to join, otherwise, Im sure we could work somthing out sometime. And the pwer steering system on the S2K is not as bad as people make it out to be, regarding countersteering.

[BloodyMaug]

Hey, cool drifting.

[Ktotheane]

Good song choice bro..

And car!!

[ermangorin]

thats cool, really cool, thnx jared...

[GunnedDown69]

nice work...

does it take much training to become a drift instructor

btw.. nice car was i the 2.2 l engine or the 2.0 litre engine

[JaredThompson73]

Thank you. I am actually not a drift instructor but a formula car road racing instructor. I have been racing and working in the racing industry for 8 years, it just takes dedication. The S2k is the 2.0 liter, year 2003.

[GunnedDown69]

nice when i get old enough im gonna join the racing industry too.. hopefully the australian v8 supercar series

[julianleeho]

[AnaboliX]

[JaredThompson73]

going the distance by cake.

[snowmants]

awesome driving man! S2K is def not a chick car btw...it is a real driver's car....no techno-wizardry or traction control here.

[julianleeho]

i think the s2k is for guys and the mx5 is for chicks. lol

[BoostConvert]

You're an awesome driver man, especially the save at the end... :D I am just starting to learn to drift my S2000, wish me luck, lol

[Mastado]

You are pretty good.

Congrats.

[killioughtta]

How did you get that S2000 in the track without a rollcage? Most tracks don't allow that. Awesome sliding

[JaredThompson73]

I am an instructor at Jim Russell, all the on track footage I do have a helmet, all the autocross footage a helmet is not required through the school unless the vehicle has a roll bar.

[loquat15]

Nice, reminds me of doing that in a local parking lot really late at night with a buncha friends in my car.

Sorry though, not a fan of convertable sports cars... or chicks cars ;-)

[JaredThompson73]

Chick car ! :) No way man, a miata or a sebring sure.. The S2K is a drivers car all the way.

Glad my video could help you remember some good times..

[vansoth]

I wouldn't call a S2000 a chick car.

[sundaybmx112]

damn if i had the money for tires... i would definitely do this.. hah

good song choice too

[gunsandguitars]

Drifting is the dumbest fucking thing on earth.

[KKKK1213]

so is sucking ur own dick and u do it all the time

wats ur fucking point?

[TheDuh88]

is that after, or before fucking whinners like you, who watches vids on something they thing it's the dumbest fucking thing on earth??

faggot

[KajiDrifter]

And watching cars go in a one-direction oval isn't? Drifting is requires more skill and control than racing alone. You can't just slam the throttle through every corner, you gotta be patient, yet quick. The drifts have to flow, and it takes alot of skill to do that. So before you go saying its the dumbest thing on Earth, think about where else forms of drifting is used, like rally.  And to counter your comment, I think NASCAR is THE most boring racing sport I've ever seen.

[MRR8746]

WORD man!

[J1mmyP4ge]

If you know a thing or two about racing, cars, and all the associated factors, NASCAR is alot more than it seems.. theres more going on than cars going in a circle. too much to explain in a youtube comment.

[8craf]

Thanks for your comment on my vid. Very very nice your drift man !!! Nice to meet an other S2k drifter...

[T3nlitend]

Great video. Thank you for handling the car so beautifully and not destroying it! A serious first.

[db17k]

any suspension mods or stock? this guy is good!

[JaredThompson73]

Hi there, No mods. Car is completely stock. Thanks for the compliment. I have been doing this a long time..

[igKNIGHTer]

didn't u go to motoring j style? if u did...then umm i think ur the one that blew out their head gasket =x

[mrnoobJI]

this was a good video...im a big S2000 fan...very nice

[spyratex]

The cool part was when you squeezed by the guy who spins the Formula Mazda car.

[wadecarriez]
