Drag, autocross, drifting, pick your poison, i prefer drifting, but like many people say, i don't think doing either three is great on your car, and i think all three should either stay on the track or an isolated spot where bystanders or people driving to work aren't going to become victims.
autocross?? seriously, when was the last time anyone ever heard of an unsanctioned autocross event? a bunch of cars pull up into a kroger parking lot, guys jump out, throw down cones, drive around until the cops show up and then bolt. i think drifting looks fun, and id love to learn how to do it, but i think its funny how many new drifters are coming out of the woodworks. and how many of you drifters were doing it 5 years ago? 2 years ago?
drifting is NOT a form of racing. period. it takes skill, but where is the actual race? how many of you still use the e-brake to 'drift'? i can tell you how many new drifters are going to use it....all. i cannot wait to see single cars parked on the side of embankments and in ditches because awesome little teeny boppers thought they could drift through some random turn.
