That's a badass video

I was curious to know what people on this forum thought about drifting...it certainly is becoming popular.

The problem for me is that it is completely about showmanship..there is no real competition nor assignment of metrics of any kind.

I saw the drifting show at this year's Barrett Jackson in Scottsdale and it was fun to watch.

Good point, how does one "win" at drifting... It does look like fun... The only drifting I've done was unintentional.... heh heh.

If you really want to know, do a quick seach. It has been discussed in the past.

Me too. Growing up in a rural area, there was plenty of opportunities to drift and practice my Rally skills in my Dad's old F-150.

Hope he's not reading this.
