After all any one can do a burnout or a power slide though a turn since a lot a people still don’t know what drifting REALLY is. Drifting is not for everyone and was never meant to be. Its all about having fun with your car, in a safe environment (off-street) while encouraging excellent car maintenance and modifications to achieve a neutral weight balance of the car to give a steady ride thus enabling the drive demonstrate his skills to the judges. I say rock on DRIFT!

Drag Racing is for fast cars while Drift is for fast drivers. I love it personally. Only thing that s**t me is that box cars never had the hand brake in the right spot. And if you see the entry speed and the angle some of those guys have then you can clearly see why only a kid with big balls and no brains would try it on the street. Its just too dangerous. And drfit is not just power oversteer out of a corner. Its slide in on entry, maintain angle throughout the corner and slide out. Going sideways before the actual corner is the scariest part.

I whole heartedly agree. D1 drifting is booring, watching amatures go at it at malalla is way way better. Last time i was at malalla to watch it, what two cars got the biggest reception/cheers? 308 VC Auto Commodore booooooonger, and what looked like a dead stock XF 3speed. The guys who attack the corners hard, slide in early, BIG RESPECT. They have some big balls !
