I am quite a speed-queen. After all, that’s what people always told me everytime they got out from my car. Having met with 3 major accidents which had brought me close to death and a countless numbers of minor accidents on the road since I was legally allowed to drive 15 years ago, I think I was a speed-queen after all. A reckless one sometimes. Thank God, so far no one lost his soul and thank God again, I am still breathing. However, the last accident I had was in 2004. Therefore, I presume, for the past 2 years ago, I don’t speed like I used to anymore and I realize I do behave accordingly when I am on the road nowadays. Well, once in a while, I do drive over the speed limit but I have become more careful this time and it doesn’t happen as often as before. What to do, I still have that young blood in me. Just can’t help it.
So if whenever I want to misbehave, I’ll go to Speedway PLUS situated next to the Overhead Bridge Rest Area on ELITE Highway. The circuit is opened to public everyday for go-kart and on every Saturday night, ‘drifters’ (that’s what the call for the drivers who drift) from all around the country will come over to drift. The drifters are grouped into four categories; ‘A’ for the experts, ‘B’ for the intermediates, ‘C’ for the amateurs and ‘D’ for the novices. Looking at them romping at each other on the circuit, I find it so enjoying and amusing. Just like in the Fast and Furious: Drift in Tokyo movie. I have been taken for drift rides by Ser Meng Hui a.k.a. Ah Fai, Malaysia’s most celebrated drift expert, on his Nissan Cefiro for many times now and every time I am in his car, I get over excited and very nervous at the same time. Sometimes being drifted like that brings fear to my gentle soul. I never thought in a million years that I would be experiencing this.
As a conclusion, I pretty much enjoy it a lot. But then, who doesn’t?
