the best way to look at drifting is to look at it like the X-game of car sports. not totally a sport and is judged but takes great skill and can be a beautiful thing. thats the best way i can see to describe drifting as a sport. Just go watch the X-games then watch D1. Basically the same shit, only with cars.

And scott i was being sarcastic. i loved this thread. i thought it brought up some very good points. Hope this helped a little.
