i would higly doubt its cause they couldnt afford it since drifting is an expensive.i know most people that are into drifting are also into road course and autoX. for me i think its just fun throwing your car around. you could also say whats so fun about Drag racing if you just go in a straight line. ive drag raced its fun to try to keep your car straight and get the perfect launch. i know from the friends i go out drifting with we have people that Autox,roadcourse, and drag race.
