OK, so I'm pretty comfortable driving my Miata aggressively "grip" style, but I'm wanting to learn how to drift a little, nothing fancy. Watching other people do it in videos, even if it's the drift bible, only helps a little.
All I've been able to do is little power slides, mainly in the rain. My car is stock, so that might make it a little harder. I can't figure out how to initiate the drift, other than letting off the gas abruptly at 40mph+ speeds in the middle of a turn, and that's kind of intimidating. My e-brake doesn't work very well, so I haven't even attempted trying to initiate with it.
One of you Miata-drifters please chime in, fill me in on your experiences and how you learned, please!
