i totally agree, but the problem is there is only so much to talk about then the rest is either irrelevent, speculation, or repeat info. this is a sport based on doing not b.s.ing about it.

p.s. i think he was reffering to your forum as well, Driftfactory. no disrespect or anything.

Well, the thing about me is that I'm involved with the scene and I have total control over the forum. So, if there is anything you guys see lacking, or anything that you want but don't see, let me know and I'll add it.

I think talking about drifting is a every once in a while thing... drifting shouldnt be about it taking over your life. To me... drifting is getting your friends late at night.. head up to the local parking lot in the middle of no where... line up all the cars way out of the way.. and do the circle course the way it was meant to be done... sideways. Drifting is about a feeling, not trying to set records or get well known.

Just FYI I've been drifting for almost 9 years now. Far from bandwagon and even if F&F ruined the word scene I'm too old to worry about semantics. :rolleyes

bandwagon? crap. i've been drifting for about 4 years.

and sliding around a parking lot doesnt require much skill. i doubt i'll ever call that drifting.

driftfactory is a good one, but they are just starting out.

i bet they will grow immensely though.

Drifting is being able to control the tires/car while having traction lost in an apex/turn.

That's my view of it.
