In Eric's letter to Tony, he mentioned D1 becoming similar to WWF, and I agree.

I am beginning to think that this is the only possible answer becasue we are beginning to reach the end of creativity in drifting.. What else can we possibly do? Now that drivers can encompass entire race circuts sideways for multiple laps, do we now have to test that endurance with distance drifting (or time drifting)? Do we need to add jumps or other potential hazardous obstacles to make it more "Crowd pleasing" (i certainly hope not) ? Will americanization really turn it into a shit talking match similar to WWF?


I dunno guys, I can understand and enjoy drifting at the state level with you guys here on TR and in the florida level, we have a long way to go and things to learn. But I see drifting capping off somewhere soon in the professional arena, as there is no "goal".. Eventually we will reach the limit of human capacity (I'm thinking we are quite close) and what else is there to do?

 

wtf are you talking about? We we are only a few months away from the FIRST EVER DRIFT EVENT IN FLORIDA and your talking about drifting topping off... Get a life

 

sharks with lazers on their freakin heads.

-funk

 

hope drifting doesnt go jap in america , were they bring in motorcycles and ppl hanging on cars and stupid stunts like that.

 

LMAO! i forget where that came from, but it is hilarious!!!

on a more serious note, i don't think drifting has topped out yet. there is almost always room for innovation. unfortunately work has drained the will to explain myself.

even if it has topped out, i think it will be around a long time because of the following it is accumulating right now. i mean, look at nascar, all they do is drive in circles and as far as i know they always have but they seem to draw more & more fans each year.

short & sweet: possibly room for innovation, but will definitely be around a long time.

 

There isnt even a US mag for drifting yet, let alone they have so many more cars to chose from lol. I mean we are just begining to see US Drift Pro's. There arent many (I dont know of any) US drivers in the D1.

 

lol did you read my post? Its ok, i know its late at night and you probabally fell asleep with my splurging of crap, but lemmie clarify

I'm not talking about the local scene, its got a long way to go. but I'm talking about the TOP LEVELS of drifting..

CAN THEY DO MORE...

I really dont think there are many more ways to slide a car than what is done in D1, i'm thinking they are going to run out of ideas soon..

Lemmie quote myself

 

I wish nascar would die for this very reason, but fact is.. They can go faster, and run faster times. There is always a measurable form of "championship". I dunno, it wont be long till all the D1 guys can do the same thing and copy eachother, sure you can take different lines, but those will be soon exhausted also.

I dunno, I opened this thread for debate, and I'm glad we are getting some

 

no we'll get shit talking, drinking in the crowd along with fights, and just a copy of what americans do in sporting events everywhere Its our friendly way of telling the world that we dont appreciate them

 

I dearly hope that it doesn't turn into a wwf type of thing. I hate the WWF, all it is a shit talking, and everything is like coriographed. I think that tire compounds will get softer, and engines will start making more horespower, so the drift, in turn could be faster. That's the way it seems to be in NASCAR. Though I doubt that it will "top off" here for a long time... most people don't even know what drifting is. Well there will always be us to keep it alive in the extremely vague and unfortunate situation that it does start dieing. drift on ^_^
