Why?

Because the course is not setup for drifitng,
that's BS..sure there are courses set up specifically for drifting..but anything can be drifted..there were certain sections of todays course which i did not attempt to drift due to the fact they were too tight or technical..but at least 4-5 of the larger radius turns were PERFECT for it...

so i gotta dissagree with that statement..

i can agree with this point..the majority of those working the course are not skilled corner workers..half of them are not even paying attention when you are driving..but this has nothing to do with drifting..this affects everyone equally..and don't say "well a dirfter is more likely to lose control"..cause that is also BS..

however this statement is dependant on an IF..and a very big IF...IF i take out cones (which i did not today..NOT EVEN ONE)..IF i spin out (which i did not today..NOT EVEN ONCE)..

and neglects to say that ANYONE who goes of course, of which i saw many people who were not drifting do, will take out multiple cones..and potentially get a driver behind them redflagged..

anyone can screw up the event..anyone can take out cones..anyone can spin out..

stop blaming the people who are drifting..
