Default Drifting... sport or no sport?

i equate drifting to the male version of ice skating. There's no clear cut winner, and by that i mean, if someone who didnt know jack about the sport walked up and could easily say "Yep, thats the winner" then its a sport. if it takes a "trained eye" and subjectivity, its not a sport. Example, Hockey... the final score is 3-2... clear winner. On the flip side, ice skating... no clear winners, just a group of people in the judges box making subjective opinions about someones performance in a vein attempt to make it look objective by putting a "Objective" number to it.

Sure it may look pretty, but its all masturbation in my book. I'm all for horsepower and powerful cars... but to me it just seems like a waste of good tires and good talent.

Drifting in my books is similar to the triple jet powered trucks you see at exhibitions... its all for show, no real practical application.

Just my opinion.
