The quickest way to crash Windows 9x

The quickest way to surely bring down a Windows 9x machine:

1. Open a DOS console
2. Start debug
3. f 0000:0000 ffff ff
4. Boom!

What happens is that we overwrite the "zero page" (which contains the interrupt table; including the IRQ vectors). Anything interrupt related (including the IRQ0 timer executed (normally) 18.2Hz) will make the processor jump to ffff:ffff, which doesn't contain any sensible code. Windows 9x is unable to recover from this.

Manually crash Windows XP

First: I do not take credit for this. This is information that I read in an article, But I feel it is a nice bug, and should be spread around so that microsoft might one day decide to fix their bugs!
The Bug:
CSRSS.EXE is a windows critical process. Make it crash and your whole system will follow. This affects all versions of windows NT (from source, My own test was only on win2k)
But how do you make it crash? The point to remember is that CSRSS.EXE controls the output of console apps.
Also, CSRSS has a bug on how it handles the backspace character while printing.
So the followin print statement will cause a small bug to appear:
printf("Crashing Your PC byte by byte ")
This bug is that CSRSS has now backspaced one character to many! In efect, it has now backspaced through it's video buffer memory. If the problem repeats itself too many times, CSRSS will cause a memory violation. Which will then make Windows kill the CSRSS.EXE process which in itself makes windows kill itself.
Now, this affects all outputs to the console, so you can either put that code into a while loop, compile in the language of your choice (that produces console apps) OR simply replece the printf statement with a fprintf and have the user dump the contents of the file on his screen ('type file' in the shell)
Now, This is not a very serious thing. It will not cause hard disk corruption (unless the reboot causes it), will not delete files, etc... But it can make an interesting DoS attack by implanting it into some program run on startup.
Hope this doesn't help ;)

Manually crash Windows XP

1. Start regedit. (If you are unfamiliar with regedit, please refer to this FAQ)
2. Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\i8042prt\Parameters
3. Create a new DWORD value and name it CrashOnCtrlScroll
4. Right-click on this newly created value and click on Modify
5. Enter 1 in the Value data field and click on OK.
6. Close regedit and reboot your system.
7. Now you can blue screen (crash) your system by holding the right CTRL key and pressing "Scroll Lock" twice.

Note:

Your system may reboot or show a blue screen whenever this crash is initiated. If your system reboots after initiating the crash, and you want to see the blue screen, follow these steps:

1. Go to Control Panel > System
2. Click on the Advanced tab
3. Under Startup and Recovery, click the Settings button.
4. Under System failure, uncheck the option Automatically restart.

Cool Hang-up Techniques

Cool Hang-up Techniques...(Really Fandu)

First caller:

Girl: Hello Sir, this is Pooja calling from Country Club.
Me: Hi Pooja!
Girl: Sir, we are offering life time Country Club membership for Rs.1.5 lakh only!
Me: Wow, what an offer! Only 1.5 lakh! How come so cheap?
Girl: Sir, I am not joking (with a chuckle).
Me: Neither me. You know, one of my friends already has Club Mahindra membership at Rs.1.5 lakh per year. Do you have any concession on group booking? I think we have around 8 people in my team.

Girl: Sir, along with this, you will get 2 air tickets to Goaabsolutely free!

Girl: We are also offering 8/6 site in Tumkur.
Me: What should I do with that site?

Me: … where we can enjoy our retired life (continuing from where she left)
Girl: I am not joking, Sir!
Me: Who said that you are joking? Seriously Madam, I am serious. (can't control my loud laughter this time)
Girl: Ok Sir, I think you are not interested.
And she hangs up.

Second caller:

Girl: Hi Sir, this is Pooja calling from ICICI Bank.
Me: Oh, Pooja, nice to hear your voice!
Girl: (amused by reaction) Sir, we are offering home loans for 12% interest.
Me: Oh, is that so? It's good, but I have an offer from another bank which is giving home loan for only 2% interest!
Girl: Only 2% interest?
Me: Yeah, it's only 2%, seriously.
Girl: Which bank, Sir? I do not think any bank is offering at this interest rate.

Me: (lowering my voice) I can't tell you, you know it's a private bank!
Girl: No Sir, it's not possible. If that's the case, then, I'm also interested.
Me: If you want to know the name of the bank, give your mobile number or e-mail ID as I cannot disclose this information over phone. I am bound not to disclose the details.

Girl: Okay.
She disconnects the call.

Girl: Pooja
Me: Audience, we have Pooja on our hot seat. Let's play "Kaun Banega Crorepati" with Pooja. (of course, mimicking Big B's accent)

Here is the first question to Pooja for 1,000 rupees on your computer screen. (adding standard KBC music)
Which bank you are calling from? a) ICICI (b) HDFC (c) Deutsche (d) Others

Me: (my own voice) Aren't you enjoying it? I think YES (switching back to Big B voice again) Ready for another question? And here goes the second question for 2,000 rupees on your computer screen. What is the reason behind your call to me?

(a) Credit/debit card (b) Home loan/personal loan (c) Mutual fund (d) Others
Girl: Okay, it's enough. Are you interested in free Gold Credit Card offered by us?
Me: Oh no, wrong answer. Sorry Poojaji, I already have credit card from ICICI. I have been telling the participants that whenever you have doubt in mind, go for the life lines. And you have not used any of your life lines. What a pity!

Wipro chairman Mr. Azim Premji's comment on reservation:

I think we should have job reservations in all the fields. I completely
support the PM and all the politicians for promoting this. Let's start the
reservation with our cricket team. We should have 10 percent reservation
for Muslims. 30 percent for OBC, SC/ST like that. Cricket rules should be
modified accordingly.


The boundary circle should be reduced for an SC/ST player. The four hit by
an OBC player should be considered as a six and a six hit by an OBC player
should be counted as 8 runs. An OBC player scoring 60 runs should be
declared as a century.


We should influence ICC and make rules so that the pace bowlers like
Shoaib Akhtar should not bowl fast balls to our OBC player.


Bowlers should bowl maximum speed of 80 km/ hour to an OBC player.


Any delivery above this speed should be made illegal.


Also we should have reservation in Olympics. In the 100 meters race, an
OBC player should be given a gold medal if he runs 80 meters.


There can be reservation in Government jobs also. Let's recruit SC/ST and
OBC pilots for aircrafts which are carrying the ministers and politicians
(that can really help the country...)


Ensure that only SC/ST and OBC doctors do the operations for the ministers
and other politicians. (Another way of saving the country...)


Let's be creative and think of ways and means to guide INDIA forward...
Let's show the world that INDIA is a GREAT country.
Let's be proud of being an INDIAN...


May the good breed of politicians like ARJUN SINGH long live...

Apne Project ke bojh tale daba jaa raha hai,

Wo dekho ek Software engineer ja raha hai,



zindagi se hara hua hai,

par "Bugs" se haar nahi manata,

Apne application ki ek ek line ise rati hui hai,

par aaj kaun se rang ke moje pehne hain , ye nahi janata,



din par din ek excel file banata ja raha hai

Wo dekho ek Software engineer ja raha hai,



das hazaar line ke code main error dhoond lete hain lekin,

majboor dost ki ankhon ki nami dikhayi nahi deti,

pc pe hazaar windows khuli hain,

par dil ki khidki pe koi dastak sunayi nahi deti,



satuday-sunday nahata nahi, week days ko naharaha hai,

Wo dekho ek Software engineer ja raha hai,



Coding karte karte pata hi nahi chala,

bugs ki priority kab maa-baap se high ho gayi,

kitabon main gulab rakhne wala , cigerette ke dhuyen main kho gaya,

dil ki zameen se armaanon ki vidayi ho gayi,



weekends pe daroo peke jo jashna mana raha hai,

Wo dekho ek Software engineer ja raha hai,



maze lena ho iske to pooch lo,

"Salary Increment" ki party kab dila rahe ho,

hansi udana ho to pooch lo,

"Onsite" kab ja rahe ho?



wo dekho onsite se laute team-mate ki chocolates kha raha hai,

Wo dekho ek Software engineer ja raha hai,



kharche badh rahe hain,

baal kam ho rahe hain,

KRA ki date ati nahi,

Income Tax ke sitam ho rahe hain,



lo phir se bus choot gayi, Auto se aa raha hai,

Wo dekho ek Software engineer ja raha hai,



Pizza gale se nahi utarta,

to "Coke" ke sahare nigal liya jata hai,

office ki "Thali" dekh munh hai bigadta,

maa ke hath ka wo khana baar roz yaad ata hai,



"Sprout bhel" bani hai phir bhi, free "Evening Snacks" kha raha hai,

Wo dekho ek Software engineer ja raha hai,



aapne ab tak li hongi bahut si chutikiya,

Software engg. ke jivan ka sach batati ye akhri kuch panktiyan,



hazaron ki tankhwah wala, company ki karodon ki jeb bharta hai,

software engg. wahi ban sakta hai, jo lohe ka jigar rakhta hai,


hum log jee jee ke marte hain , zindagi hai kuch aisi,

ek fauj ki naukri, doosri software engg. ki , dono ek jaisi,



is kavita ka har shabd mere dil ki gehrayi se aa raha hai,

Wo dekho ek Software engineer ja raha hai,

career counSeLLin - y (not)2 joIn a cALL cEntEr..

1. You have not finished your studies. You know mainstream knowledge
based companies will not touch you.

2. You have just passed high school. Or failed in high school. Reason
enough to join a call center.

3. You have become senior, only by age, without any significant
experience on any industry vertical.

4. You want to get rid of your present job at any cost

5. Your MBA/Engineering/GMAT/TOEFL/GRE/MCA entrance exam result will
be out in two months. Get into a call center for the time being.

6. You have resigned from your present company and will join a new
company only after three weeks time. Get into a call center, get the
training (that is spending some quality idle time) and leave after
three weeks or whenever you feel like

7. You have been inspired by the guy who smilingly appears in a call
center recruitment ad saying he has become the VP of the company in
three years seven months and twenty five days.

8. You think call center is all about fun, frolic and chicks (pick
ups...and drops...free that is)

9. You think it's cool. How uncool it is ask the guys who have left
the industry and joined some other industry without any hierarchical
or financial gain. How cool it is, ask the guys/gals who have become
managers in quickest possible time.

10. You want to polish your foreign language skills, English, Spanish,
Polish, French, German etc. Most of the call centers impart heavy duty
training on accent, personality, process etc. A similar training
outside will cost you more than the total salary you will get here in
your short stint.

11. Because you are brainwashed by your peers.

====================================================================
so friends my advice to you is never ever join a call center , you
have more knowledge and skills than wht u need for a call center,
just have some patience,
all of you will get a good job.

CHEERS,
MUNCHY....

Did you feel this way on your last day in college?

Did you feel this way on your last day in college?

Raah dekhi thi is din ki kabse
aage ke sapne saja rakhe the naajane kab se

Bade utavle the yahaan se jaane ko
zindagi ka agla padaav paane ko

par naa jane kyon ..dil mein aaj kuch aur aata hai
waqt ko rokne ka jee chahta hai

jin baton ko lekar rote the
aaj un par hansi aati hai
na jaane kyon aaj un palon ki yaad bahut aati hai

kaha karte the ..badi mushkil se dhai saal seh gaya
par aaj kyon lagta hai ki kuch peeche reh gaya

na bhoolne wali kuch yaadein reh gayi
kisi ki party to kisi ki coffee rah gayi

meri taang ab kaun kheencha karega
sirf mera sir khane kaun mera peecha karega

jahaan 2000 ka hisaab nahin wahaan 2 rupay ke liye kaun ladega
kaun raat bhar saath jag kar padega

KAUN MERI gaadi mujse pooche bina lejayega
kaun mere naye naye naam banayega

mein ab bina matlab kis se ladoonga
bina topic ke kisse faalto baat karoonga

kaun fail hone par dilasa dilayega
kaun galti se number aane par gaaliyaan sunayega

wo haseen pal ab kis ke saath jiyoonga
na jane kab main agle do ghoot piyoonga

aise dost kahaan milenge
jo khai mein bhi dhakka de aayein
par fir tumhein bachane khud bhi kood jayein

mere gaano se pareshaan kaun hoga
kabhi muje kisi ladki se baat karte dekh hairaan kaun hoga

kaun kahega saale tere joke pe hansi nahin aai
kaun peeche se bula ke kahega..aage dekh bhai

movies mein kiske saath dekhhonga
kis ke saath boring lectures jheloonga

achanak bin matlab ke kisi ko bhi dekh kar paglon ki tarah hansna
na jaane ye fir kab hoga
keh do doston ye dobaara sab hoga

doston ke liye professor se kab lad payenge
kya hum ye fir kar payenge

kaun muje mere kabiliyat par bharosa dilayega
aur jyada hawa mein udne par zameen pe layege

meri khushi mein sach mein khush kaun hoga
mere gam mein muj se jyada dukhi kaun hoga


na jaane ye fir kab hoga
keh do doston ye dobaara sab hoga

For MY BEVDA FRIENDS - read dis - it's not about quittin drinkin it's about drinkin MORE..

A guy woke up at home with a huge hangover. He forced himself to open
his eyes, and the first thing he saw is a couple of aspirins and a
glass
of water on the side table. He sat down and sees his clothing in front
of him, all clean and pressed.

He looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order,
spotless, clean. So is the rest of the house. He takes the aspirins and
notices a note on the table. "Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left
early to go shopping. Love You!"

So he goes to the kitchen and sure enough there is a hot breakfast and
the morning newspaper. His son is also at the table, eating. He
asks, "Son, what happened last night?"

His son says, "Well, you came home around 3 AM, drunk and delirious.
Broke some furniture, puked in the hallway, and gave yourself a black
eye
when
you stumbled into the door". Confused, the man asks, "So, why is
everything in order and so clean, and breakfast is on the table waiting

for me? I should expect a big quarrel with her!"

His son replies, "Oh, that! Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when
she tried to take your clothes n shoes off, you said , "hey !!!!!!!
leave me alone! I'm married!"

Moral

Breakfast -- Rs. 100.00

Self-induced hangover -- Rs. 2000.00

Broken furniture -- Rs. 20,000.00

Saying The Right Thing While Drunk - PRICELESS!!! !!!!!!!!

For eg: if the username is kunal....then the command will b as follows ---> net user kunal *

3)As soon as u run the above command by hittin enter....u will b asked to enter a new password for the above mentioned user ....enter the new password....hit enter.....again confirm the new password n hit enter....

4) Dats it u r done....u have successfully changed the password of the user without even knowing his/her earlier password n all...

Trip to NANDI HILLS, Bangalore

Nandi hills is a place located 59km from Bangalore, so me and my frnd charlee decicded to go there on sunday morning. Charlee had a bike of his friend so we left for nandi hills at 3 in the morning, well we had put on our pullovers and jackets as charlee was sure dat it wud b cold and it was cold(just saved our asses from the cold - thnks 2 charlee). The Sunrise there is what's the main thing whch ppl go 2 c.

The trip was amazing so here we go with the details.

After leaving at 3 am in the morning all we had was a map of banagalore with us and only one info abt the location of the place that it was on NH-7, so when we reached MG road we asked 2 cops dat whch way we shud go but instead of tellin us the way thy saw the number plate of the bike whch was TN(tamil nadu) registration, asking for the NOC , we told them that it was a private vehicle and we did'nt need NOC and then charlee showed his company i-card and DL and then they let us go and told us the way , OMG dese thulla's , dey always have to show that they have a liking for troubling ppl and try 2 make money whenever possible..LOL..paisa paisa paisa , saari khushi paisa, saara jaha chahe ye paisa , ha ha ye paisa..(song for the thulla's).

So after gettin some help frm the thullas and one auto driver in the way, finally we were on our way , NH-7 , yeah we were on NH-7 , the highway i tell u man sucks , it's got big speedbreakers whch just come frm no where in the middle of the road without any signs of a speed breaker approaching, we jumped over quite a few on our way , and then u have dose development wrks on the highway , man dere were a few diversions and god save us, many a time we were about 2 go in2 the wrong lane , but my navigational tips helped us both ..LOL.

Once on the highway we were quite confident of reachin the place , but ye to hona hi tha , we jumped the turn to nandi hills by 10kms, so we had 2 go back and after some guidance frm the highway dhaba and truck wallas we finally found the turn and then we were again on the right way, just 10kms from nandi hills started the drive up the hill, it was all staright road before dis and suddenly we were climbing up a steep mountain with lots f U-turns and in total darkness, no street lights , now i don't expect street lights on the hills but they were not there on the highway as well, any ways i am still in india so no issues.

Finally at 5.20am we reached Nandi hills, the top of the hill, we were looking for some tea but there was no tea , although there was a shop from where we took some chips and water, then we had to wait for the ticket counter to open whch opened at 6.00am.

After takin the tickets we entered the fort, well it was the summer palace of Tipu Sultan.
Here's some history associated with nandi hills.

Nandi Hills or Nandidurg is a hill fortress of southern India, in the Kolar District of Karnataka state. It is located just 3 to 5 KM from Chickballapur Taluq. It is 4851 ft. (1478 meters) above sea level. Nandidrug hill, known commonly as Nandi Hills, is the source of the Penner,Ponnaiyar and Palar rivers. Nandi Hills gets its name from an ancient Nandi temple situated on this hill. This temple has a thousand year old sculpture of Nandi. An ancient lord Shiva and Parvati temple also adorns this hill.

Nandidurg was traditionally held impregnable, and its storming by Lord Cornwallis in 1791 was one of the most notable incidents of the first war against Tipu Sultan of Mysore. It was formerly a favorite resort for British Raj officials during the hot season. Francis Cunningham built the summer residence here for Sir Mark Cubbon.

Here's a view on Nandi Hills from the base. The place where you c d tower is Nandi hills.

Once we entered the fort , it was an amazing view from up there, the rocks, th

e temple and the view of the sunrise was amazing, for some time you can c the sun right in it's face and u feel as if ur invincible , but not for long, u have 2 come back to the truth .

This is a view of from the top of the hill lloking down below, it's called the SUICIDE POINT, just kiddin but on top of a hill any point can be a suicide point, just just need to find the PERFECT location to jump..hehe

And dis is the cliff i am talking about , what say about the suicide point , if u have a look at the cliff you can imagine the view of the sunrise and the view of the city from top of the cliff.




After having a view of the sunrise we left for home and the drive back was without any troubles as it was'nt dark and we had already driven on the highway while coming.

we do plan to get back over there , dis time for an overnight stay, u have all d facilities available over there.

it was a nice trip and v enjoyed a lot.

Anyone wants some info as to how to get there feel free to mail me .

How Drifting Works

How Drifting Works

by Julia Layton

With the release of the third installment in the movie series "The Fast and Furious," this one is called "Tokyo Drift," drifting has finally made it to the big screen. Sure, Hollywood has known about donuts for decades, but this one's all about the sport of losing traction. In drifting, drivers force their car to slide sideways through a turn, and professional drifters can accomplish a true driving contradiction: They can control what happens when their tires no longer grip the road.

Drifting is really nothing new. If your car's rear end has ever swung around on a wet road, and you've struggled for 50 feet to get control, you've drifted. Even in car racing, drifting is pretty old hat. When race car drivers go around a turn at high speed, especially in the early days of racing when tires didn't have the grip they do now, the back end would sometimes swing out. The car would either spin out or the driver would recover from the drift and keep moving. Today, even with tires that could probably grip a vertical wall, the ability to drift without spinning out is an enviable skill in racing. The best drivers can control a drift so they can use it to their advantage -- a driver who can take a "non-ideal" path through a turn and brake late, causing the car to lose traction through the turn, has far more opportunities to pass than a driver who can't manage a drift.

What's relatively new is the advent of drifting as a sport in its own right. "Drift racing" was born on the winding mountain roads of Japan in the 1990s, and it has been spreading to the United States and the United Kingdom for the last five years or so. A simple drift has a car moving sideways through a single turn, but it can get much more complex than that. At the pro level, drivers can drift through several opposing turns without their wheels ever gripping the road. That's where the winding mountain roads come in -- aside from the death factor, mountain roads are ideal drifting courses. The multiple, tight, S-type turn configurations allow drivers to display the most advanced drifting skills.

There are two primary techniques that drivers use to initiate a drift: clutching and braking. Drifting almost always requires a rear-wheel-drive car; it's possible to drift using a front-wheel-drive car, but it's relatively rare. In a common clutch-initiated drift, as the driver gets near a turn she'll push in the clutch and drop to second gear. She'll then rev the engine up to about 4,500 rpm. When she releases the clutch, there's a huge surge in power to the wheels because the engine is spinning so quickly. The sudden power dump makes the back wheels spin so fast they lose traction, and the back end swings into the turn. In a basic braking technique, the driver pulls the emergency brake as she enters a turn, causing the back wheels to lock up and lose traction, initiating a drift. This type of brake-initiated drift is one of the only techniques you can use with a front-wheel-drive car. In a rear-wheel-drive car, there are at least a dozen possible drifting techniques, and pro drifters often use several in a single run.

Once a drift is initiated, the really hard part of the sport begins. Holding a drift instead of spinning out requires a lot of practice. Expert drifters use a combination of throttle (accelerator) control and steering motions to control a drift, not allowing the car to straighten out, regain traction or slow down through the turn. The best drifters can maintain a drift through several turns in a row. That's a pretty high level of drifting skill -- those drivers can expertly execute multiple techniques one after the other to maintain extended control of a drift. In the next section, we'll check out the techniques you might see on the pro drifting circuit.

Making a Car Drift

The first drifting technique a driver needs to master is actually a regular racing technique. Heel-and-toe shifting lets a race car driver downshift smoothly and quickly (to increase rpm) while simultaneously braking (to shift the car's weight forward). The goal of this shifting technique is to maintain equilibrium between engine speed and wheel speed so the drivetrain doesn't jolt while downshifting. To heel-and-toe downshift while your right foot is on the brake, you depress the clutch with your left foot, shift to neutral and release the clutch. Then, keeping the ball of your right foot on the brake, you move your right heel to the gas pedal and rev the engine until the rpm matches up with wheel speed (usually an increase of about 1,500 rpm per one-gear downshift). Once you reach the proper rpm, you get off the gas pedal, still applying the brake, push in the clutch again and downshift. Once a driver can execute proper race-style shifting, she's ready to master some drifting techniques.

Clutch-based techniques

• Clutch-kick drift - Approaching the turn, the driver holds in the clutch, increases rpm and downshifts. She then releases the clutch, causing a power surge that makes the back wheels lose traction. This is a basic drifting technique.

• Shift-lock drift - Approaching the turn, the driver downshifts and drops the rpm to slow down the drivetrain. She then releases the clutch, causing the back wheels to immediately slow down and lock up so they lose traction.

Brake-based techniques

• E-brake drift - The driver enters the turn and pulls the emergency brake to lock the back wheels. She steers into the turn, and the back end swings out into a drift. This is a basic drifting technique.

• Braking drift - The driver enters the turn and applies the brakes to push the car's weight to the front wheels, causing the back wheels to rise and lose traction. She then uses a combination of braking and shifting to hold the drift without the back wheels locking up.

• Long-slide drift - On a long straightaway approaching a turn, at high speed (up to 100 mph / 161 kph), the driver pulls the emergency brake to initiate a long drift and maintains it into the turn.

Other techniques

• Power-over drift - The driver accelerates into and through the entire turn to make the back end swing out as the weight shifts on exit. This technique requires a lot of horsepower.

• Feint drift - The driver steers the car to the outside of the turn on the approach, pushing the car's weight to outside wheels. She then quickly steers back into the turn. When the car's suspension kicks back, the weight shifts so quickly that the back end flicks out to initiate a drift.

• Jump drift - Entering a turn, the driver bounces the inside rear tire over the inner curb to shift the car's weight to the outside wheels and induce traction loss, initiating a drift.

• Dynamic drift (Kansei drift) - Entering a turn at high speed, the driver suddenly releases the gas pedal to shift the weight to the front wheels, initiating a drift as the rear tires lose traction.

• Swaying drift - A swaying drift is a lot like a feint drift except that it begins on a long straightaway approach to a turn. Once the car starts drifting, the driver uses steering to maintain the drift in the form of a side-to-side swaying of the car's back end.

• Dirt-drop drift - The driver drops the rear tires off the race course into the dirt. This technique helps initiate a drift, maintain speed to hold a drift through multiple turns or increase the drift angle (see the next section) during a single turn.

For detailed explanations and instructions for each of the techniques mentioned here, check out Drift Session: Drift Techniques.

As you can see from the above techniques, drifting is not the most natural thing for a car to do. To get a car in good shape to drift and to keep it in good shape as a drifting car, there are some additions or modifications that a lot of drivers make. These can include adding horsepower and upgrading the engine's cooling system to handle the increased stress and power needs, tightening the suspension (MacPherson strut is a preferred type) to help with the weight-shifting drift techniques, and installing a limited-slip differential so the driver can control the car while drifting through more than one turn. A limited-slip differential lets the car transfer torque to whichever wheels have traction, whether that's one or all four. (See How Differentials Work to learn more about limited-slip.) The driver will usually disable any traction control and/or anti-lock-brake systems so the tires can more easily lose traction, as well as inflate the tires to about 10 psi above normal pressure to decrease their grip on the road. Since the rear tires on a drifting car can get burned up in just a handful of drifting runs, drivers typically put good tires on the front and cheap tires on the back. Tires are by far the biggest expense in the sport of drifting.

Unless you're buying a whole new car to drift, that is. When considering a good drifting car, you're basically looking for a rear-wheel drive, lightweight car that's relatively inexpensive (cars can get pretty beat up on the drifting circuit). Other qualities that make a nice drifter include a high front-to-rear weight ratio, good horsepower and a light flywheel so the engine revs easier. Some of the more popular drifting cars include the Toyota Corolla AE86 GTS, the Nissan Silvia S13 or S14, the Nissan 180SX, the Nissan Skyline GTS-T, the Nissan Sil-Eighty and the Mazda RX-7 (Japanese cars tend to be lighter in the rear than others).

You'll actually find a pretty wide range of cars at drifting events, including European and American models. Most pros will tell you that with the right level of skill, you can make any car a drifter, and in addition to the common drift cars, you'll see everything from Ford Mustangs to BMWs at competitions.

The judging at a drift competition is very different from any other type of car race. It's more like the judging at an ice skating competition than at a NASCAR event. In the next section, we'll see what goes on at a drift competition.

Drifting Competitions

Like any other car race, drifting competitions have safety requirements. At most events, cars have to have a fight-point-harness racing seat in the cockpit and a roll cage, and drivers need to wear helmets. Drifting tracks are typically shorter than other race tracks. They have at least one and up to five or six turns, and they might be shaped like a U-turn, a series of S's or a big circle that's essentially a single, endless turn.

Design of a race track in Hawaii that has three drifting courses

In a drifting competition, the runs are judged subjectively, not with a timer. There are two types of runs: solo, which happens at the beginning of a competition, and tandem, which happens after the qualifying solo runs, when a limited number of drivers remain. Solo runs involve a single car performing a drift run on the course, and judges award up to 100 points for each run. Judging criteria include:

• Driving line through a turn - The path the car travels through a turn should be tight, with the nose of the car close to the inside of the turn. For extra points, a driver can also display the ability to keep the rear of the car close to the outside of a turn.

• Speed through a turn - Faster is better. Judges like a high-speed entry, turn, and exit.

• Drift angle - The drift angle is the car's angle during a turn relative to direction of travel. The more the back end comes around, the better. This element also includes the amount of time that angle is maintained. Essentially, the ideal drift angle would have the car perpendicular to the direction of travel through the entire turn.

• Performance/execution - In drifting, showmanship counts. Judges grant performance points based on elements like overall driving style and smoke generated by the tires during a drift. Drivers used to be able to gain performance points by opening the door during a drift or sticking their arms or legs out the window, but that's not allowed anymore in most competitions. Windows have to be up and doors have to remain closed.

Once the solo runs narrow the field, the competition moves to tandem runs. At this stage, two cars are on the course at the same time, taking turns as the lead car and the chasing car. This is an offensive/defensive setup designed to find out who can drift best under pressure. The lead car must avoid the chasing car and at the same time execute an ideal drift; meanwhile, the chasing car is trying to mess up the lead car by getting in its way and is also trying to achieve its own ideal drift. A driver who spins out or causes contact automatically loses the tandem run. In this run, judges award points comparatively, so one driver always comes out on top.

If you're interested in getting involved in the sport of drifting, you basically follow the same kind of path you would for any other motor sport. You start by learning the ropes, and the best way to learn drifting is to attend a learning event offered by one of the drift leagues. Don't try to learn to drift on public roads or empty parking lots -- it's unsafe for everyone, including the driver. In an empty parking lot, there's no help around if you crash your car, which is a distinct possibility in a sport based on the premise of losing control.

Once you've learned the basics, you can go to drift raceways when they're having practice events and drift to your heart's content -- you have to pay for time, but safety personnel are on hand in case there's an accident, and it also gives you a chance to connect with other drifters and register for driver search events and amateur qualifying rounds. Winners from search events make it to the qualifying competitions, and winners from the qualifying competitions keep moving up until they reach the professional drift circuit.
