Hi Tim, love your magazine. One of these days I will get off my ass and subscribe, rather than paying twice as much at the local magazine stand.

Neither of which have anything to do with the drifting the GRM issue was devoted to. Drifting competition has as much to do with getting around a racetrack quickly as a car show or concourse does.

Nothing.

True there are cars involved in both, but in both the winner is determined subjectively, by judges, rather than objectively by the stopwatch.

I am not saying that drifting doesn't require a high level of car control skill, it clearly does. And it is probably a good thing if it gets more people involved in SCCA or NASA, I just hope it doesn't bring a bunch of Icy Hot Stuntaz wannabe assclowns showing off their MaD SkIlZ in the parking lot.
