read the other thread, i said something similar. 'drifting' as a sport is teh sux0r, in my opinion.
but i also said i still acknowledge that entering a corner backwards and making it look smooth takes an effing lot of skill. it's kind of like the people who do stunt shows on sportbikes- they're not at all using the bikes to their potential or for their intended purpose, but that doesn't make it easy to do some of that shit and not kill yourself.

Umm wrestling isn't popular only in the south. It's the most popular show on Cable TV every week. If only southern people were watching it, it wouldn't be as popular as it is.

I think that the fairer comparison would be to dancing.
That's not a fake car on a fake track. The driver has displayed inhuman levels of car control and made it all look supremely graceful.
Yeah, it's not racing, but that doesn't mean it isn't sweet.
