I personally think that it doesn't take a whole lot of talent to drift a rear wheel drive vehicle. I also think that most of those people who try and or do that are retards behind the wheel and have no clue as to what they are really doing but spinning and tosing a car around. Now if they can use those skills to navigate through a series of turns on a track then I might be impressed. But to do it in an open parking lot. Whoopdie doo... Sorry to derail your post. Just saying that they both have degrees of hardness. And for most a road course is more challenging to them. But everything in life is what you make of it.

Lets be honest,it does take talent to both drift and drag race;drag race a car w/ a bunch of power on a small tire that is.I love both,it is absolutely euphoric to carry the wheels past the 60' mark,but as someone else mentioned a car w/ no power isn't as pleasing,however you can take that same car w/ no power and drift in the rain and have more fun than a kid in a candy store.Moral of the story is that Motorsports of any flavor just plain kicks ass.

However, I also understand what the small percentage of people who say that and what they mean. And that would be those who tend to road race (I.E. auto-x) To make a long story short, take what ever car you have on a drag strip and put it on a road course and it is going to be much more challenging than going in a straight line.
Haven't taken the truck to an auto-x event in a while because it's very demanding on tires and brakes. But I will soon, hopefully.
I like both forms of racing but most don't. Don't get me wrong driving anything that runs at least low 13's is some what challenging. And running mid 10's is a chore. But running a 10 second beast through a series of chicanes followed by a hairpin. And good luck on holding your apex.
Sorry to ramble on a tyraid. Just had to get my 2 cents out.
Disclamer, this post in no way was aimed at, or intended to piss anyone off. Any offense of this sort was solely an accident.
