racist asshole? do you see americans bagging japan for integrating english and "japanifying" words? hell, my gf jennifer went to get her nails done at a korean place and they wrote jen fer on the business card. i didn't turn around and start ripping the guy for not being able to spell simple english names.
some of you guys really have a stick up your ass about shit. i hate nascar as well, but some people like it and so be it. i just never got my jollys off watching anything go in circles. as for dirt track racing, true some but not completely. drifting is the ability to go through multiple turns, varying in radius and right or left, and keeping the car sliding(abreviated, yes i know everyone has their opinions like their religions). if you want to take it to its roots, rally racing being the only motorsport were drifting the car is used as a technique and has been since its introduction. and this "dry pavement" thing is bs too. ice, snow, dirt, gravel, wet pavement, dry pavement. if you are drifting then you are drifting. its a word, not just a sport. now every mfer thinks they hold the mecca rule book on what the sport is, means, and can be.
i definitely agree about not having the roads. you have to search long and hard to find some. the closest i had was rallying my camry at land between the lakes, ky. no one was hardly ever on the fireroads and you could throw it through the corners exiting with the tail end dragging in the ditch wrc style. but on paved roads the speeds are going to be higher and typically there aren't any guardrails to stop your ass if you lose it. you are now flipping through a ditch into trees or a cornfield. the best place to really do it semi-safe (and not caring about your times) is at an scca autox. nice, winding, and tight. the only thing you'll do if you lose it is take out some cones. tell you the truth, it was a drifting s13 in an enthusiast created nissan picture that rekindled my interest in these cars. i can understand getting little kids here that mainly just want to be like what they saw on tv but all sprts get that. skating, biking, basketball. not everyone is as knowlegable as you or shares your interests. but that doesn't mean you need to sit on your righteous throne and condemn them. this isn't a pissing contest, its a breast size contest. insert a decent opinion without slandering someone, and for those responding, don't fuel the fire of bigots.
