[b]Little bit of physics.[/b]

Thanks XRpredator i was most likely going to stick to squaring the corner anyway just curious.

This post might get nuked but i think its interesting...

So, I read the "drifting unsucsefuly" thread and they said to practice you should go in a circle and keep increasing speed until your back tire starts to slide out then its just a feeling thing so I'm sitting in physics class and my teacher is talking about an unbanked curve and how fast you can go around an unbanked curve with this formula. 
Velocity(speed) = [squre root of](Radius of circle * gravity * coefficent of static friction)

So i looked up the coefficent of static friction of rubber ( tire) on dirt. which is about .7 and i chose a radius of 10 feet or 3 meters with gravity being 10 meters/second(squared)
(v-) = square root...best I can do on comp.
V= v- ((3m)(10m/s)(.7)
V= v- (21)
V=4.58m/s(squared)  so 4.58m/s converted into mph is
[U].6214mph [/U]  =    [U]X[/U]
.2778m/s              =  4.58m/s.....so, X=10.25mph
So all you have to do is go a little over 10.25 mph and your back tire will start to slide out.
