I hate drifting but this is cool
Ever since drifting came to the USA it has been on my **** list. I could go into depth all day about it but that's boring.
This is the way it should be. Just like how it was in Japan, low bhp lightweight cars requiring big skills. Not some stupid viper with 875bhp on a big track.

this would turn the big horsepower guys into sobbing fools. Not a fan either but this guy is actually doing the drift at pretty high speeds in comparison.

Last week after watching the SCCA races at Summit Point main, I went over to the Shenandoah course and watched drifting. I still don't get it. To me it's like skateboarding. A remarkable skill that seems to have no purpose.
There was a noob who must have plunked down an enormous amount of $$$ on a 370Z with a ridiculous turbo sound and body kit. He could barely get the rear tires to break loose. Maybe forgot to turn off traction control.

Sometimes you gotta turn right to turn left.

Sean needs to teach them the Swedish Flick... sent Timmy Lynn into a tizzy today!
And as for that car being 140HP, I highly doubt a 140HP car could keep anything but greased slicks spinning on a dry road that long..

I am of the same opinion about drifting in general. Seems fadish and something the kids want to do. Much like they're wedded to their phones, facebook, and fame....but to get off my old man's soapbox I have to bow to this classic bit of drifting. Drifting before it had a name. Just skill and *****.
