Drifting is an event that awards people for driving badly. Thats why most people who can't drive loves it.

Any non-time based event/competition that involves a car should never be called a motorsport. There is already a name for it and it is call "stunt show"]]>Sep 26th 2006 12:28PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/26/video-general-lee-audi-quattro-drift-car/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/26/video-general-lee-audi-quattro-drift-car/good stuff. ]]>Sep 26th 2006 12:32PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/26/video-general-lee-audi-quattro-drift-car/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/26/video-general-lee-audi-quattro-drift-car/

Get over it. I prefer racing myself, but I won't try to proclaim drifting a non-sport just because it's not my preference.]]>Sep 26th 2006 1:13PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/26/video-general-lee-audi-quattro-drift-car/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/26/video-general-lee-audi-quattro-drift-car/Sep 26th 2006 1:17PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/26/video-general-lee-audi-quattro-drift-car/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/26/video-general-lee-audi-quattro-drift-car/Sep 26th 2006 1:23PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/26/video-general-lee-audi-quattro-drift-car/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/26/video-general-lee-audi-quattro-drift-car/
There is a three part video series that goes into the judging and techniques. Here is a link to the video of the judging:

I'm not trying to push CarTV.com, they are just a great site for Drifting videos. They also have a bunch of "crash reels" from different drifting events - lots of fun to watch.

I hate to tell you, but I don't think rednecks or neo-Nazis are very big fans of drifting as far as I know.

I do know that I wouldn't pay to watch it.]]>Sep 26th 2006 2:01PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/26/video-general-lee-audi-quattro-drift-car/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/26/video-general-lee-audi-quattro-drift-car/Sep 26th 2006 2:09PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/26/video-general-lee-audi-quattro-drift-car/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/26/video-general-lee-audi-quattro-drift-car/Sep 26th 2006 2:12PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/26/video-general-lee-audi-quattro-drift-car/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/26/video-general-lee-audi-quattro-drift-car/
If you dig into the site they have under "facts":
"402meter 9,97 205km/h 1,6 60 fot"
That'll be 1/4 in 9.97 secs @128 mph and a 1.6 60-foot...

On *that* thing? how much power is it making?]]>Sep 26th 2006 2:23PM
