i would've been drifting 5 yrs ago if i had a car 5 yrs ago, haha. yea i guess you could say that drifting isn't a form of racing, but i think for our purposes, it's just easier to put everything in the same category, haha. i think ppl (read newbies) see it as racing because of initial d where they race down the mountain while drifting... i guess it's more of a 1v1 competition.

and no i don't use my ebrake, but still consider myself a relatively newbie to drifting. well i've never even really tried to until recently when i made myself a little spin knob, just to see what it'd be like.
i just thought the idea of someone getting out and throwing cones down and racing was funny. im not knocking the desire to learn, because i want to, too. but people are talking about it too much. i see it all the time whenever someone (on any board) asks about getting a new car. some clown inevitably says something like "s13 so you can drift" and thats tiresome.
