The drifitng technique is very similar to how rally drivers drive. I implore a lot of you to really look into this more closely and I think you'll come away with a better understanding. Some people could say all drag racing is just punching the gas at a green light..... how hard could it be?!
You tube Rhys Millen in his Pontiac Solstice GXP. This guy is incredible.
Drifting is powersliding, drag racing is hitting the gas at a green, Nascar is 'go fast, turn left'. Soccer is kicking a ball and running. Golf is whacking a ball with a club and walking. Acting is pretending to be someone you're not.

Just because something can simplified down to 1 or 2 things doesn't mean its easy.
