To drag race, all you need to know is how to rev an engine and drop a clutch. It's 9-15 secs of STRAIGHT LINE! That means what????
ON a course like Primus, there were 12+ turns. That requires 12 seperate split second decisions involving car speed, angle of entry, exit angle, maintaining the drift, and not spinning out.
Let's think about which one takes more skill....d'uh
And you say you've drifted? I have a friend that told me he could Auto-X. He based his assumption on the fact that his car was tight as hell (Almost no suspension travel) and that he takes hard corners through subdivisions. I finally got him to ride with me in an Auto-X....in comment? "holy shit".
Nuff said right there. Any Jackass can slide a car around a corner, or in a parking lot, but try to do this on an actual course....different ballgame there.

I guess you've never driven a fast car.
