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.
I'm not saying they are not talented, but in my opinion anything that can have 5 different people watch and come up with more than one choice for a winner is not a sport. Anything that can by judged objectively by a computer (points or time) is.

I think RMR racing should get one.. Rhys Millen has the red bull solstice.. That is a factory backed car. He owns a The White 04 GTO.

I use to think drifting was just dumb , I 1st saw it about 5 years ago in a SCC mag .

Now I DVR it on Speed TV these guy got skills , its pretty cool to watch .

Iam just waiting for some one in NASCAR to start drifting vs burnout after they win a race .
