I wouldn't be fooled by the current state of drifting though. If you ask me, it's close to its peak as far as its history in the USA. I have nothing against it at all, respect the level skill involved, etc... but I give it another 2 years in the mainstream that surrounds it this year, max.

I will gladly eat my words if that turns out to be false.

Autocrossing isn't publicized. It has no marketing behind it whatsoever.
