well greeker... i must agree that it is a dangerous sport...
but...
as a person who enjoyed it my self from the saftey of a track were i can learn it and understand what makes the car to do such things... is not by any means dangerous... and it is not destructive to the car... only to the tires...
i my self have had such an arguement greeker... i used to have the argument with my father that drifting is a better sport that drag racing...
first off... drifting is not a new thing... it has been around since cars have been able to go fast enough to loose control...
nascar drivers have been doing it at the end of every race since the beganing of nascar...
rally drivers basicly drift around the dirt tracks threw out the whole race...
dirt track sprint cars and modifieds and bombers drift around around an oval dirt track the whole race...
it is not dangerous... it is part of racing...
the only differnce is when you do it on an open street is when it becomes dangerous...
the japanese are more dangerous than these qataris could ever be... they do it on mountain roads and its called Touge ...
if you have any more questions about this please ask... i dont want what these guys do out here to give any of you the wrong impression of what drifting really is...
this sport is not a race... its not about how much power your car has... its not about how fast your car can go 0-60... its not about what your car looks like... its all about one thing... The Driver...
the driver is the only thing that matters in the sport... because the driver has to have enough skill to understand what his car can and cannot do... and that requires talent... were as with other sports with cars such as nascar, drag racing and formula racing... its all about how great the car is... or how well the car is built...
i have seen many drift compatitions won by a single guy who does all the work to his car on a small budget...
Greeker... please dont look at this sport as a waste of a car simply because of the trash you see on the streets here... please understand there are many respectable race car drivers around the world (such as the reese family) that par take in this sport because of how sofisticated it is for a driver... and because of how much talent is required...
