If it turns petrol-fuel into noise - I like it.
If it has tits or tires - I like it. |

I don't know too much about it, but from the few video's I have seen, it looks pretty impressive. It's not racing if it has to be judged, but there's no denying that the drivers are very skilled. While it may not appeal to everybody, you have to appreciate the skill involved.

I saw a video clip for drifting on TV at california speedway last month where Japanise drivers were giving a demo where three cars would drift side by side at very close quarters. There were thousands of spectators and showed how much interest there is in drifting.

the videos from japan of the hot shots drifting are alot dif than the the ones on supertuner and that nopi show. the demo's in the states aren't the real deal. deserted industrial areas and the like and the boys get wild. they can handle their cars. their tire budgets must be steep.

I speed on public roads.
I also drifted the otherday on a crowded city street, just trying to give some asshole in an SUV the 'bidness' for about killing 10 other people by slamming on brakes at a green light, and then double-parking in an intesection! Wet street, hard tires, misty rain, unexpected U-turn. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I ended up in the other lane, facing the other way.. I decided that was the best way to go, and turned on my right signal. M |

I've never done it in a real car.
But it's a JOY in a go-kart, I'll tell you that much. I thought we had a bunch of go-kart people here. . . |
