Yes it may take some talent, but if this is considered a sport, then the next nomination of the next sport will be porno..

this may sound a little outrageous, but hey it's new years eve and I having a couple of mixed drinks right now. The real talent or (sport) is all you guys out there taking our talents to craft a basket heap into a performance work of art... Now PT I would consider a sport first before considering drifting a sport...

God bless and look forward to some great new PT rides for 2006.

Looks like I will be redoing my chevelle after owning it now for almost 19 years... Will post some picture in a couple of months... :thumbsup:

No, not in my book.

I do not feel it is a sport, but I do think it looks cool and requires a lot of skill. I can usually watch about 2 minutes of it prior to changing the channel. :D

Well, I never studied much in high school...sort of "drifted" :lol: Is that a sport?

I'd say no.

It is a sport any time the Factory get in the middle of it because they will not spend yes: time or money if it not veiw by babyboomer and the youth as a set. :yes:

No matter how many conversations and arguements people have about drifting, there will never be a clear agreement made over it.

If nothing else, the drift cars are basically PT cars engineered to go sideways but make no mistake, there is a ton of engineering in the top level cars that we can admire and learn and borrow from. Imagine Rhys Millen's GTO with a little smaller rear sway bar to get that rearend in check out on a road course. That car would fly!
And if this thread started from the articles in Hot Rod this month, it beats the heck out of reading about another Street Car Shootout aka "Worlds Slowest Pro Mods"
And for the entry level dude looking to beat his car on a Saturday, it's alot funner than bracket racing and can teach some skills you can apply to a road course or auto-x

Not really a "sport" in my opinion, but it looks like fun... and I practice doing it myself every time we get a little snow :D

Racing is the ONLY sport.
Everything else is just a game :lol:

its definetly fun but i don't think it should be a sport its an art, but just like alot of sports now if enough people want to see it it'll be a sport :eek:
