I don't understand drifting at all.

You and me both.

 

Cool video! I respect the amount of skill it takes to control an out of control car.

 

that's b/c you Don't come out and watch, and you Don't try it!
I think you were saying the same thing about autoX at one time, right?

 

drifting was just all pics, and vids.. till i saw signal auto.. first drift event ever.. it was amazing, and i guess it's just a glimpse of what was really out there... d1 and what not...

i wasn't a hardcore car enthusiast let alone a scoobie enthusiast !!.. but then drifting was something different. it wasn't about all power, and what not.. it was more of artistic?? :P .. anyhow i dont tink im considered as a hard core, but my interest is still there ...

 

that's the best part I think, .... it's not that the car is out of control, ... it's that you are putting it on THE EDGE, and are controlling some crazy mad slide! (well, some people control it, some people just hit sh*t all the time!! LOL! ... actually, it's always a little bit of both.)

 

gotta love the skills that it takes to slide a 3000+Lb. car around...hahaha

 

Nah, autox always looked fun...and difficult which is why I still enjoy it. I still suck and I want to keep at it to get better.

Drifting is fun. I know first hand but in another venue. That's what we used to do in the 80's when we'd steal my dad's car and head out to the old, gravel country roads in Montgomery County, IN.

I think that the skill level that sanctioned drifting has been elevated to is nothing short of phenomenal. I just don't get much entertainment from watching. I guess, for me, it's along the lines of watching a guy jump some motorhomes. Great display of cajones but not too enthralling (I was afraid of seeing Evel get hurt again.)

Also, it seems like such a waste of a good race car and 4 expensive tires.

 

ehh, ... ... I think you need to watch more Professional drifters.

 

oh, and you can hardly compare driving down gravel roads to what we now call drifting ......

 

I'll make a note.
