"Drifting" Sigh.
Drifting is what people who don't have performance cars do. If it isn't fast just spin the tires while turning.
I agree with Graves "Drifting is for Pussies."

There are also people who don't have performance cars running down the drag strip. Drag racing therefore must also be for pussies.

in reality guys.. dont knock it till you've seen it done right. It DOES take an awful lot of skill to keep a car in a state of motion it naturally just doesnt not want to be in. The typical drag racer thinks thats the be all and end all of racing and nothing else takes skill. News for ya people, try looking at other motor sports because they ALL take alot of skill and alot of car setup and drifting is no different. Its not just laying the backend out and screeching around a corner... its more about car control and keeping your car in a controlled state while at the same time being in an unstable state and doing it with style, its got more showmanship than drag racing or nascar or rally.
Its no where near as easy as it seems and just because you slide your backend around doesnt mean your drifting. Not that i'd know, i've never drifted.. lol

To each his own. I enjoy all forms of motorsports, and they all take their respective skill.

I have said this before and I will say it again:
In drifting do you try to under-drift the other guy and make it out of the corner first in order to pass him and get down the straitaway faster? In drifting are you trying to "drift" the car through the turns trying to take a couple of tenths off your lap time? In drifting are you hanging out the rearend and drifting across the finish line faster than the other guy? Since the answer to those questions is no then "Drifting"=Lame. Drag racing is motorsports competition, Stock car racing is motorsports competition, rally racing is motorsports competition, road racing is motorsports competition, Autocrossing is motorsports competiton. Drifting is some slapdicks in a parking lot doing donuts.
