Which would you do at a weekend event?

This thread is to gauge interest in certain driving styles. Not to slam a tracking preference. You can vote for more than one choice in this poll.

I much prefer a road course to a drag strip, and greatly prefer both over drifting. For a few reasons.

1) Drifting requires a tremendous amount of control, skill, and rubber ($$$).....
2) I don't know how to drift.

Never seen one done around here. But I know I sure as heck couldn't do it... I'd fishtail it into a wall or something.

I remember watching a documentary, or something on it...you've got to throw your tail end around, and then apply just enough throttle to keep the angle, while steering in the direction you want to go in. There's special tires...inflations...

It's crazy. Stupid....but crazy.
