Why?
Because the course is not setup for drifitng, the workers (ESPECIALLY AT NASA) don't know what to expect from you (they think you've lost control) a car that spins can quickly screw up 2-3 other peoples runs (red flagged) and when a car which is drifting goes off course, they generally take 15 cones with them. Which screws everything up.
I'm not knocking drifting, I just don't think Auto x events are the place to practice. They are not setup to handle it.

Dude give me a break! please, i saw plenty of people who wern't tring to drift that took out way more cones than any of us who were drifting. Why you ask? because collectively between nokeone, our friend in the mr2 and i, we took out a total of 2 cones. there is a difference between people who are spinning out everywhere and people who know what they are doing and realize that f*cking up other people's runs is not cool. those idiots are just ****ed off because they are hardcore autoxers (assholes) that don't want anyone out there on their track doing anything but autoxing. Besides, i saw plenty of those guys getting sideways but because they were trying to race its ok. But some "kids" out having fun can't drift because they aren't racing and it's a "race". Besides the guys who didn't like it were the guys hosting the event, a camaro club. We all know how camaro guys are... Did you see how amped the course workers and spectators were that we were getting sideways?
You must have been one of the guys in a 240 who i waved to and didn't even care to agknowledge my existence. How nice of them and possibly you. You can obviously see that we are into drifting, why must you play the devil's advocate?!
Please...
