Why Is NASCAR cool if all you do is go in circles for hours?.... Why do people go to see a 1200 HP chevy burn rubber down a track for less than 8 seconds and he's called the champ?..... if you look at it, in every event, there are supporters and then there are people that have never done it properly, hence the lack of understanding on how exhilirating the thrill of the ride, ( like drifting) would be. Drifting is extremely fun and you definitly have to have some skill to perform a good sweet drift without ruining your car or anyhting that might be too close to the car during.
