Alex Phiffer who is one of the "sports" big names and was a driving consultant on Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift . He was one of my techs on my race car from 2000-2002.... I am happy to see these events take off because Alex is doing really well and I am hoping he is making lots of green and having fun . I do appreciate the car control and technique it takes to drive like that. Alex was also a pretty good road racer too . However.. all those guys are amatures compared to Walter Rohr in the Ruf GTR Yellow bird doing it at the Nurburgring at triple digit speeds about 15 years ago ... if you ever see the DVD Ruf Facination ... check it out . I too am reluctant to call it a sport.. it is more like an X-Game
